LG G Flex wins iF Design Award 2014



The LG G Flex smartphone was one of the winners of the iF Design Awards, getting a Gold Award along with 74 other products this year. According to LG, "The G Flex was commended by iF judges for implementing a new approach to the smartphone interface by putting controls on the back and adopting a curved display, thereby adding immensely to the smartphone experience in terms of both ergonomics and quality."

The G Flex is one of the first smartphone of its kind to feature a vertically curved display that follows the contour of your face. It also puts the controls on the back, same as the G2, that allows having thinner bezels. LG also used a special POLED or Plastic OLED display for this phone, which is flexible in nature. The back also features a unique self healing material that automatically hides minor scratches over a period of time.

Nope. Batteries should not swell simply because you left it charging overnight. All my phones are left charging overnight and so far only one swelled up like a pillow. Replaced the battery and swelling didn't happen again.

you know what will be a good thing to do with this curve display? curve it, mold it to the wrist of the user. parang yung "cellphone ni jodie foster sa elysium although curved to the wrist and very thin as if you're wearing nothing.
