LG’s curved smartphone G Flex 2 announced. It is LG’s first smartphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810-the soc, and is also one of the first smartphones with ddr4 memory. The phone has, like his predecessor, a self-healing back.
The G Flex2 has a curved 5,5″screen with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. It is a p-oled display with a plastic substrate for the malleability. The screen is smaller than that of the first G Flex, a 6″screen with 1280×720 pixels.

The G Flex2 is the first announced devices with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, an octacore processor with four Cortex A57 and four Cortex A53 cores.

The storage capacity is expandable with a microsd card and the smartphone is suitable for 4g networks. Also 802.11 ac wifi and bluetooth 4.1 are present, as well as nfc.
