CES: First Look at LG&s Bendable G Flex Smartphone

CES: First Look at LG's Bendable G Flex Smartphone By Justin RubioLG's uniquely-designed G Flex is coming to the United States early this year, and at CES the company was showing off the brand new, bendable smartphone. I got to spend some time with the device and its curved display, and while I was intrigued by the form factor, the true purpose of the hardware design remained a bit of a mystery.

The curvature is slight, but is definitely more prominent than the curved-glass Samsung Galaxy Nexus. LG explained that one of the reasons for the shape was for comfort—both when resting it in your hand or when holding it to make a phone call—and while it performed as promised, I don't think that the lack of a curve on other phones is much of a problem to anyone.

Like the many curved televisions we're seeing at the Las Vegas event, the G Flex's design is also meant to create a more theater-like experience when viewing video in landscape orientation. This may be true with extra large TVs, but it has a negligible effect when it comes to a phone with a 6-inch OLED display and a 720p resolution.

With the help of an equally-unique battery, the G Flex can actually be bent to a flatter shape. Unfortunately, I was told to not try it while I was at the show floor booth, although an LG spokesperson did say it was possible.

LG added a few new hardware and software features with the G Flex, none of which actually rely on the device's shape. The company introduced new multi-window functionality, a method to unlock the device straight to a screen that displays your personal media, and the ability to use the LED light on the back of the phone—the G Flex uses a Rear Key like the LG G2—to make sure the camera is focused on your face when taking a selfie with the rear shooter. It's entirely possible that these features will come to the G2, which doesn't really make a case for the G Flex's design.

We don't know yet how carriers in the United States plan to price the G Flex, but we do know that it will be available soon. After my short time with the device, though, I'm still not entirely sure why anyone would choose this particular Android phone over something like the smaller Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or LG's own G2. But if novelty value is your type of thing, the G Flex could be just what you're looking for.

LG GW550 – business acumen with model looks

Consider LG. They make some of the prettiest, coolest mobile phones out there. Phones like the LG Viewty Smart and the Arena have cemented their reputation for making extremely user-friendly, really very pretty phones (much like Samsung, really). What LG haven’t yet done, however, is make a phone that’s designed for business users.

According to Phone Arena, however, that’s now changed; LG have launched a brand new Windows Mobile phone, aimed at precisely that sector of the market. And it’s called the LG GW550.

It’s undoubtedly a looker (well, I like it, anyway), but you’ve got genuine smartphone credentials in there. It’s running on Windows Mobile (non-touch version), and with that QWERTY keyboard, it’s going to be a rather nice phone to compose emails on (plus, it goes without saying, Windows Mobile will let you link up with an Exchange Server). You also get a 3MP camera, HSDPA running at 7.2Mbps (ooh, nice and fast) and, unusually for a business phone, stereo speakers, which is a pretty nice touch. All in all, it looks a solid buy, although it remains to be seen whether it’ll be as powerful as the HTC Snap (I’m not sure it will, but it is prettier).

However, while it may be closest to the HTC Snap in terms of OS, specs and, er, Windows Mobile-ness, the LG GW550 gets its looks from somewhere else. It looks very similar to the Nokia E71. And when I say very similar, I mean ‘god almighty, were those things separated at birth??‘

Seriously, look:



Noticeable, similarities, eh? Maybe E71 with a bit of Blackberry Pearl in its genetics somewhere.

Not that that’s a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination, I just found it quite amusing how similar they look…
