LG is bringing its most talked-about LG G Flex smartphone with incredible curved and flexible display with high-end specs, to more than 20 European countries as early as February.
LG Electronics, one of leading smartphone makers, has announced the availability of LG G Flex in more than 20 European markets, starting February. The handset has generated plenty of interest in the smartphone market for its unique flexible design with high-end specs packed in a curved smartphone.
The G Flex is only available in selected markets including Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore and the company announced at this year's CES in January that the smartphone will enter the U.S. market via partnerships with mobile carriers AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile sometime next month.
The U.S. debut for the curved smartphone was expected to be in April, but carriers have pushed the dates early. Sprint has already started taking pre-orders for the G Flex and AT&T announced Monday that the smartphone will be available in stores and online starting February 7. AT&T has fixed the price of the G Flex for $299.99 with contract and enticing deals with AT&T Next lets customers have the phone for $26.74/ month in 18 installments.
LG's list of 20 European markets for the G Flex includes the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Sweden and Austria, Mashable reports. The phone-maker did not reveal the pricing details and the availability but it is expected to hit the higher price range.
The LG G Flex features a 6-inch display and is powered by a quad-core 2.26GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 GPU, and 2GB of RAM. It runs the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean but the phone is likely to get updated with a later version at the time of launch. It sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with a 2.1 megapixel shooter in the front. It features unique qualities like the self-healing coating on the back cover that protects from "daily wear-and-tear scratches and nicks that un-cased smartphones are likely to receive, keeping the G Flex looking newer longer," according to an earlier HNGN report.
