There aren’t a lot of smartphones out there right now that have flexible displays, the trend hasn’t caught on yet. LG has already announced its contender, the “self-healing” G Flex, but it is yet to be released globally. It was initially believed that LG might only launch the smartphone in select markets in Asia and Europe, but the company did hint recently that it is working on plans for a global launch. Trusted Twitter leaker @evleaks “confirmed” through his usual medium that the LG G Flex will be making its way stateside, and that it will be offered by three major national carriers, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint.
No release dates or pricing information has been provided as yet. Verizon is missing from the list, and it is not known right now if the carrier will offer the device later than its rivals or if it won’t carry it at all. The G Flex packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor under the hood which is aided by 2GB of RAM. It has a 13 megapixel rear camera and a 3,500mAh battery. The defining feature has to be the curved 6 inch 720p AMOLED display. That’s not all, the smartphone also has “self-healing” powers, check out this video to see what they really are.
