I had some hands-on time with LG’s first of 2015, the LG G Flex 2.

First impressions? It’s beautiful.

It doesn’t happen very often, but it looks like LG perfected a crazy idea. A rundown of the specifications are in a post you can find here, but this thing is a tank.

2.0 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 810 CPU

Adreno 430 GPU 

2 GB of RAM

Expandable Memory up to 128 GB

3000 mAh Battery (non-removable) w/ Turbo Charging (50% in 40 min)

13 MP Laser Auto-Focused Camera

It comes with an improved self-healing back and flexibility but this will come out of the box with Android 5.0 Lollipop with LG’s skin on top. Nothing really changed from past LG skins.

The thing is the phone is no longer about the curve. It’s about being a current phone contender compared to other flagships. Last year was a proof-of-concept, this year is the real deal, and it’s really good.

The full spec list of the device can be seen here.
