Stunning design ; Great gaming and video performance ; Good camera ; Battery chargesquickly

Some stock Lollipop features are missing ; LG's custom UI can be sluggish ; Weak front-facing camera

With the original G Flex, LG had some great ambitions that were ultimately hampered by reality -- the reality of complexity, of production, of price. Want to see a phone that was just a little too ahead of its time? Look no further than the G Flex2....

Curved design build around a curved display, self-healing coating on the back panel ; 5.5" 16M-color 1080p curved P-OLED capacitive touchscreen with Dura Guard Glass (Gorilla Glass 3 enhanced in-house by LG) ; Android OS v5.0.1 Lollipop with Optimus UI...

Rather pricey (sans carrier subsidies) that misses features such as stereo speakers, wireless charging, or an enhanced resistance to liquids or dust ; The 16GB model comes with 2GB of RAM ; Non-removable battery

LG kicked off 2015 with a bang... or rather with a new flex. The LG G Flex2 is the first smartphone to unleash the latest Snapdragon 810 beast-of-a-chipset on the market.

Unique curved display. Fast performance. Strong battery life.

Middling call quality. Heavy Android skin.

Camera and Conclusions Camera performance from the 13-megapixel, rear-facing camera appears unchanged from the G3. The speedy autofocus times and optical stabilization are both net positives, but the overall performance leaves something to be desired....

Call quality and reception are impeccable ; Reliably good camera ; Rectifies most of the flaws of the original G Flex

Laggy software undermines Android 5’s strengths ; The curve distorts geometric shapes on the screen ; Doesn’t make the most of its top-notch spec sheet

It's curved. It's cool. And it just feels good in your hand ; A high-performance processor with plenty of oomph

The single speaker on the back will kill your love for blasting music from your phone ; LG's version of Lollipop feels a little rushed

This phone has everything its flagship counterparts have, except it's curved. Don't hesitate if you feel like giving it a try.

Curved design makes for great screen visibility. Sharp camera. Self-healing back really works. Stands out in a crowd.

No way to tell call quality or network performance with a non-U.S. model.

Conclusions The G Flex 2 is an interesting high-midrange phone with a striking design. Thanks to its new Snapdragon 810 processor, its performance might measure up to the Galaxy S6 (although we'll have to see). Web browsing, especially, looks really...

Ergonomic casing, Flexible, unbreakable chassis, Removable back-cover..., ...with self-healing effect, Infinitely high contrast, Decent camera equipment, Good software configuration, Low temperatures, No power consumption when turned off

Rear-sided controls, Dark screen, Limited cell coverage, Awkward inputting of umlauts, Relatively expensive

Buyers have to pony up quite a bit for the uniqueness of LG's G Flex 2. This was already one of the biggest criticisms of the precursor, and our present review sample clearly lags behind other high-end devices in some points while the price is very...
