Good Read: Awesome Features That Make LG G2 A Powerful Android Smartphone
The back of the phone heals itself if it gets lightly scratched, like when you put it in the same pocket as your keys. It comes with a high-resolution P-OLED touchscreen that’s 1080p, up from the decidedly deficient 720p display of the original.
Below are some of the awesome LG G Flex 2 key features that can probably make you buy one:
#1). Innovative design and stunning curved screen
The curve also wraps around your face when you’re making a call, bringing the microphone closer to your mouth to improve sound quality. And the shape isn’t the only innovation.
The new screen on the LG G Flex 2 is incredible. It’s not made from glass like normal screens; instead it uses plastic so it’s flexible. That makes it harder to break.
And because it uses the latest organic light emitting diode technology, it produces vivid colours and deep blacks and uses less power than a normal LCD.
#2). Incredible performance
An advanced curved battery packs tonnes of power to keep everything ticking over for up to two days.
The uniquely curved 5.5 Full HD Display delivers more immersive and lifelike viewing experience. The curved display phone creates optimal viewing angles to minimize glare and reflections.
Always look your best with instant Self Healing Technology that naturally fixes scratches and blemishes to help your G Flex 2 maintain its timeless look.
There’s also a brand new, lightning fast octa core processor that makes sure everything you do happens instantly.
#3). Spend less time charging
But it comes with a powerful battery that will last longer than a day of continuous use.
If you’re always running out of battery, you’ll love the LG G Flex 2 for its fast-charge technology.
You can charge its huge battery from flat to 50% in just 40 minutes.
That should give you the power to use the phone all day.
#4). Superb software
The power of Google’s Android 5 Lollipop helps to improve performance and battery life while giving you access to more than a million apps and games.
And LG’s advanced software brings features like Dual Window, so you can open two apps next to each other, and Knock On, which turns the screen on when you tap it twice.
It also features Answer Me, which drops the ringtone volume when you pick up the phone and answers a call when you put it to your ear.
#5). Superb 13MP camera and gesture shot and gesture view
Finally there’s the excellent 13MP camera that takes sharp photos and 4K ultra HD videos so you’ll be able to capture your memories in stunning quality.
And with Touch & Shoot you can touch anywhere on the screen to capture stunning images in an instant. It also comes with Gesture Shot meaning that there is no more stretching out your arm and struggling to press the shutter button.
Take a better selfie without pushing any buttons by making a simple hand gesture. Instantly see your latest selfie creation as the Gesture View feature opens your photo gallery as soon as you lower your G Flex 2 camera from position.
