- the flex2 runs on Android Lollipop 5.01 with a Qualcomm snapdragon 810 processor.
the 810 does heat up upon usage but the heat is still bearable.
- did i mention that there is a curved tempered glass screen protector for this phone? :p and i thought curved screen protectors was not possible. but then, the phone already comes with gorrila glass with a special in-house treatment that makes it 20% stronger.
- a feature not loudly advertised is the self healing back cover from the original flex. it does heal the minor scratches but please do not take a penknife to scratch it.
- flex 2 comes with 403ppi on a 5.5 inch 1080p screen. imho, its a great improvement.
- the 23-degree arc makes answering the phone in a noisy environment easier cos the speakers and mic are in the proper place.
- when rested on a table, the curvature + back speakers bounce the music off the surface, making it sound louder. no worries about the speakers being too soft or missed calls.
- Q apps. there are a few useful Q apps from LG thats quite good for everyday use. Smart Notice shows u the notification cards on calendar events, weather information and other tasks. Dual Window allows u to run 2 apps on a split screen simultaneously. there is also GlanceView, which allow u to check the time, date and missed notification without waking up the phone. just simply swipe downwards from the top of the display at lock screen.
- the flex 2 comes with Bluetooth 4.1, NFC and two different storage options (16 and 32GB). It includes either 2 or 3GB of RAM depending on availability.
- it also comes with a 13-megapixel back camera with laser autofocus and OIS+, 8x digital zoom, panorama shooting, a gridline overlay to help compose pictures and four sizing options (ranging from 2,048x1,536- to 4,160x3,120-pixel resolution). It can record HD, full HD or ultra-HD 2160p video, as well as slow-motion at 120fps.
- the front camera is 2.1 MP and it comes with a "beauty meter" where u can soften up the selfie a bit without using additional app
- it supports local 4G LTE
- flex 2, while using the stock charger, is able to regain 50% charge in around 40 mins. pretty fast for a 3000mAh battery
- comes in red or gray. imho, just get the red.

This is overkilll.. lol..

I always thought the curve was really about the screen like those curved TVs, didn't know about this. :o

The laser focus was good on the G3 so I assume it should be as good on the G Flex 2 as well~ :o

Actually one advantage of laser focus from what I know is when you want to focus on an a close object that is same colour as background. Like a white colour ball on a white background. Instances like this the laser focus works better than contrast detection. Whether it is as good as Phase detection Auto focus i no idea liao, but i think it works better in more lighting conditions. For example the S6's autofocus is pretty fast too, but has trouble focusing on close up objects in auto mode in low light (not sure bug or what), end up have to use pro mode to set manual focus. But I would imagine laser focus would have no issues with it.

The LG G Flex2 definitely can withstand 25 kg. In fact it has been shown that the previous LG G Flex can withstand about 450 kg in a test.

The curved flex2 definitely can take more than 25KG. More worried is about the screen. Since the back has the self healing technology, it should be less obvious, the damage. And also the glass for the 13MP OIS camera. Can they take the scratches caused due to the weights being piled on them.

Based on the test done by Consumer Reports, LG G Flex managed to withstand at least 1000 pounds which is around 453 kg and still managed to work. It was shown in the below video.

LG G Flex 2 being its successor definitely can withstand the same amount of pressure or maybe more.

no idea why i can't embed this video.
