LG G Flex

LG has announced a new Smartphone that is taking the industry by storm. It is called the LG G Flex, and this is no ordinary phone. This new phone has a coating on the back cover that allows it to self-heal, excluding the screen.  One actually sees the phone fix its scratches.  The phone is made with a material coating that will remove light scratches that are inflicted onto it. It will make scratches nearly invisible, paving the way for new features in Smartphone’s.  The phone itself has a very glossy and smooth texture.  

The phone heals much faster at warmer temperatures and only takes a few minutes.  In LG’s advertisement, they used a control temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit.  At colder temperatures the scratches are not removed as quickly.  A person may rub the phone to generate heat and speed up the healing time if it is colder out. Light scratches, for the most part, are completely removed.  Deep scratches do not get fully removed.  They will improve about fifty percent, but are still present and become much less noticeable.

Besides the scratch removing capability, G Flex also has another feature that no other Smartphone has.  It is actually bendable.  The phone itself is curved in stature, but it has the capability to be bent straight.  This helps to minimize damage if the phone is dropped for high places.  This is also where the G Flex gets its name, because it has a slight flexible capability. 

Besides its healing and flexible features, the phone includes all the same features most Smartphone’s have. It has a 6 inch screen and weighs 6.24 ounces.  It also has Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) that provides brighter and better lighting.  This allows the phone to use less power than conventional displays. Currently, the phone has not yet been released for sale in the United States.  It was released in South Korea in November. Currently, the phone cots over a thousand dollars overseas, but imported units have been available in the United States.  To see this phones amazing new capabilities watch the video below.  It demonstrates the phones healing properties by scratching it with keys and a knife.  It also demonstrates the phones new flexible feature. Keep any eye out for this phone to be released. I am sure more brands will try to copy the LG G Flex’s new capabilities that are changing the industry.
