LG G Flex Scratch Test & Knife Demo, plus flex action! LG G Flex: goo.gl Official LG Demo video: youtu.be Samsung Galaxy Round Review: youtu.be Video Gear I use: amzn.com Intro Track: ASDF Movie Song Outro Track: "Channel 41" by Deadmau5 ~ twitter.com google.com @MarquesBrownlee @MKBHD @MKBHD
The video opens with Marques Brownlee introducing the LG G Flex as a highly intriguing smartphone due to its self healing back panel and curved design. He outlines two aspects of self healing: the protective backing material and the curved flex form factor, indicating that the main focus will be testing the durability and recovery of scratches on the back. The host then demonstrates a scratch test using a bronze brush, followed by hands-on attempts to recreate real-world wear by rubbing in a pocket scenario with keys, and documents how scratches visually minimize after a short period. He further experiments by warming the device to accelerate healing, noting that heat can slightly hasten the recovery process while warning that intense scratching or heat is not a guaranteed cure. A final, more aggressive scratch with a knife shows the healing is not instantaneous and that the mark remains partially visible after several hours, though improved relative to the initial scratch. Throughout, the host compares the G Flex against conventional phones and emphasizes the unique resilience of its self healing feature, even as he points out that LG’s official video may rely on controlled testing conditions, such as an ambient temperature near 27.4 degrees Celsius. He concludes with reflections on the device’s ability to flex back to its original shape and how this resiliency stacks up against other curved phones, inviting viewers to stay tuned for a full review and more tech content. The closing remarks encourage subscription for more LG G Flex coverage and other technology insights, with a brief nod to related PS4 topics in the meantime.
