Finally some news about the LG G Flex that isn’t just about how curved the smartphone is. AnTuTu has graciously provided some data that shows us the device will be more than just something pretty, or weird depending on your taste, to look at.
It’s hard to talk about the LG G Flex without also mentioning the Samsung Galaxy Round simply by virtue of being the first to unveil a consumer device in that category. And just as Samsung based its own curved smartphone on its most recent Galaxy Note 3 phablet, LG is also making a similar move and basing the G Flex on its LG G2 flagship. Well, almost.
Based on AnTuTu’s findings, the LG G Flex does have a lot of similarities with the G2. It sports the same quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with an Adreno 330 GPU and 2 GB of RAM. Internal storage is set to 32 GB, twice that of the G2. It also has a 13 megapixel rear camera. The biggest difference between the two, however, is that, while the G2 has a 5.2-inch 1080p screen, the G Flex will have a larger 6.0-inch screen but a lower resolution of 1280×720 pixels, giving it a lower 244 ppi pixel density than that of the G2.
Fortunately, aside from a slightly lower display, the LG G Flex’s performance will still be impressive, with AnTuTu’s benchmark tests giving it a score of 33,336. Someone who wants the novelty of a strange new smartphone shape and the power a somewhat high-end smartphone might want to keep an eye on the LG G Flex when it is unveiled in November.

No thanks it won’t make it to the States with those screen specs
Resolution was always going to be lower on a PROTOTYPE device! Human eye can’t distinguish pixels above 350ppi so 1080p is not required its jus a marketing game and its retarded! 450ppi …. That’s 100 pixels per inch wasting power! With regards to your comment …. GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE
I do agree with that. 1080p on a phone is kind of overkill. I’m hoping they don’t release 4K HD phones in the future… that would bring overkill to a new level.
So what about all the mid to low end devices with less than 720p displays? I guess those never “made it to the states” despite their already being sold here? Stupid fanboy.
The LS995 is the G Flex..? I’m pretty sure it’s a 4.7-inch phone… (LG Chameleon)
Pretty funny how people always thought that the glass displays were holding them back. What about the chips lol
