IMO, Bending the screens or rather semi flexible displays requires new (or emerging) tech to perform, hence the price.
if you have something unique in a market as such, you can absolutely call for the price. If not, who do you think indirectly pays for the R&D for the designs? The early adopters come into place here.
Then if the pick up is good and if companies like LG sees potential in moving forward, then they will start the route to mass produce and then you will see the mainstream consumers gobbling the tech up - as if it was actually new new
You can say it is all gimmicky now but once it hits mainstream, you may not even bat an eyelid. And then give it another 6-9 months, you actually would want those features like laser focusing for camera, self healing covers in your next purchase.
I am quite surprised that Samsung has not adopting this form of display for the phones. Especially with the slew of 2015 TVs that they have just released (that I have listed in Carousell

)
It may not be immersive in LG Flex but it is something I want to be wow-ed at when I pick up an LG phone next. (And no, I'm not gonna wait for the next iPhone. Probably with backwards tech XD)
Can those of you who are spamming the hastags, like seriously stop. What an eyesore.
