LG G-FLEX 2 - A Curved Smartphone that Makes Sense? - CES 2015

LG G-FLEX 2 marks Linus Tech Tips' CES 2015 coverage of LG’s curved smartphone follow-up, highlighting substantial design refinements over the original G Flex. The presenter notes the phone’s redesigned back button placement, which matches what LG implemented with the G2 era devices, making the controls more natural for larger phones. He explains that LG separated the screen curvature from the hand grip, resulting in a more comfortable grip while still delivering a curved display. The device is described as an octa-core Snapdragon 810 model with 2 to 3 GB RAM variants and an OLED 1080p screen, choices likely aimed at battery efficiency. A key feature spotlight is the self-healing plastic back, announced to repair scratches rapidly, along with microSD expansion up to 2TB, which LG embraces more liberally than some competitors. The video also touches on new selfie camera gestures and an improved notifications preview mechanism, signaling LG’s attempt to blend hardware innovation with practical software touches. The segment closes with sponsor shoutouts and an invitation to subscribe for more CES coverage, setting expectations for hands-on impressions and future reviews.
