LG has just announced the LG G Flex 2 on the CES 2015 and what a impressive phone the LG G Flex 2 is.

The first LG G Flex was a already very remarkable device and it seems the LG G FLex 2 is following the foot steps. The LG G Flex was the first smartphone with a flexible display. Very interesting was the ability to literally flex, and the “self healing” back panel, that healed itself after flexing the device.

Similiar to the first G Flex, the Flex 2 comes with a large 5.5 inch Full HD display and 1920x1080p resolution, but is slightly smaller then the first one at 6″ and 1280x720p. The LG G Flex 2 is also the first official smartphone to sport a Snapdragon 810 Octa-Core CPU clocked at 2 Ghz and 2GB of RAM. You get a 16GB or 32GB version, which are extendable via Micro SD. Android Lollipop V5.0 is pre-installed.

In the camera department the LG G Flex 2 sports a 13MP Shooter with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and laser auto focus as on the LG G3. The Front Shooter is a 2.1 MP Selfie Camera. The phone is powered by a reasonably large 3000mAh battery to support your 5.5″ Flex Screen.

Enough with the specs, though lets talk about what makes the LG G Flex 2 so unique. The curved display has a 700mm curvature and according to LG the display curves all the way, making it extremely easy to hold. Because the Flex 2 is curved, the microphone is closer to your mouth, so the sound quality should be improved.

The Back of the Flex is “self healing” and protected by a very fancy Glass that also bends. Compared to the first G Flex, the healing back restores itself very fast in only 10seconds at room temperature, while the first Lg G Flex took up to 3 minutes to heal.

According to LG the LG G Flex 2 will launch End of January in South Korea first, and in other markets later in Q1 2015. We will have more pictures when the official LG event starts today on CES 2015.
