What The Flex can the LG G Flex2 do?

[dawnmorra]

the knock area is divided into quadrants, so its actually big. There is a slight 0.5 - 1 sec lag to unlock the phone from the knock code screen as compared to normal knock on. You may need to unlock Lg G flex 2 using google password.

The LG G Flex 2 will be priced higher than G4.

I recall the Flex was over 1K when it was launched in SG.

Expect the Flex 2 to be over 1K as well.

G4 should be S$8xx/9xx.

I feel Flex 2 is LG answer to Samsung edge..

And G4 to their note or s series? Correct me if I am wrong, I have the impression G4 is LG premium flagship calibre.

LG and samsung leather backcover. LG G flex 2 no cover.
Based on the expose leak pictures, there is black leather back cover.

Per prize description Flex2 is worth $998, G4 should be more than that or no??

I don't see the Flex 2 #LGHotCurves to be the answer to S6 edge.


Curved at different location. The S6 is not #whyedgehalfway but #whyedgebothways now...lol


It reminds me of the Nokia banana phone instead. But that was long ago and not even a smart phone.

That Nokia was a signature piece back then and iirc, Nokia was the only one more daring to come out weird shaped phones.

That's the RRP. Retailers are probably selling much lesser than that. Haha. Maybe when the G4 comes out the price of the G Flex 2 will drop further? The phone flexible, the price must also be flexible.

Enough on the physical form factor, bend, #hotcurves Now on benchmarking the LG G Flex 2 and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810

Not sure have it been shared before:

http://asia.pcmag.com/cell-phone-reviews/1588/news/benchmarking-the-lg-g-flex-2-and-qualcomms-snapdra

LG's G Flex 2 marks a milestone: it's the first phone with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 810 chipset, which will be the chipmaker's flagship for the first half of the year. So when we got a Korean G Flex 2 into the labs, one of the first things we did was benchmark it. The results are encouraging, especially for Web browsing.

So how about those benchmarks? They're extremely inconsistent. Browser and graphics benchmarks gave clear signals. Overall system benchmarks did not.

The 810's advantages came out in browser and graphics benchmarks. As you can see in the chart below, the G Flex 2's Browsermark score (higher is better) and Sunspider Javascript benchmark score (lower is better) were better than competing devices with different chips, although the move from Android 4.4 to Android 5.0.1 may also have played a role. The Sunspider performance, in fact, was the best I've seen, and it was the only Android device to successfully match the iPhone 6 running Safari.

heat issue with this processor on LG G Flex 2 is easy fix with software update.

Yes, I missed Nokia.

Per prize description Flex2 is worth $998, G4 should be more than that or no??

Oh, the LG G Flex 2 already got pricing? S$998 is cheaper than when FLex was released.

 

[dawnmorra]

should be address or else jin jialet because not just LG G flex 2 use their 810 even other brand also use

LG G flex 2 use 810 , other brand also use it.

 

[dawnmorra]

LG G Flex2 got no such cover due to the self healing back cover.

compare between Samsung leather and G4, i would say G4 is much nicer and definitely has better feel as Samsung leather is not genuine but faux leather.

I like the word flexible on the price.

Me too, too bad they missed the smartphones boat that resulted in their downfall.

Pricing indicated in the prize section.

LG G flex 2 use 810 , other brand also use it.

talking about snapdragon 810...

http://www.androidcentral.com/qualcomm-says-expect-further-hit-year-due-slower-snapdragon-sales

"Following up on its first-quarter earnings, Qualcomm as part of its Q2 2015 earnings said that it's reducing its expectations for the second half of the fiscal year due to lower sales of its Snapdragon processors.

While it's largely gone unspoken in official channels, that's basically because the Samsung Galaxy S6 opted for the Samsung Exynos processor and not the Snapdragon 810, which can be found in a number of other current high-end devices."

G4 look interesting, think G flex 2 sales will be badly affected

G4 is the flagship phone for LG this year. G Flex2 is just for the bending technology and curved screen.

How much is the curvature of the LG G Flex 2 ?
If I put inside my front jeans pocket, will it bulge out obviously ?

 

[dawnmorra]

Are there other phones also using Snapdragon 810 to compare with the LG G Flex 2 ?
