The LG G Flex is already available in Asia (Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore). In Korea it is sold for 999,900 won (about 693 euros). After its presentation at CES 2014 it is expected to be available on major mobile networks in the United States. “With the G Flex, LG establishes itself as a brand that brings something unique,” ​​said the company’s president and CEO Dr. Jong-seok Park, and attributed a series of records to the curved phone:

• At 6 inches diagonally, the G-Flex's plastic OLED (P-OLED) display is the largest display of this technology ever made for a smartphone.
• The G-Flex has the world's first curved battery and is the first phone to have a special coating that self-heals its wounds on the back of the device within minutes.
• It features technologies to improve the user experience, especially useful on curved screens, such as QTheatre (the user holds the phone in landscape with both hands and drags the edges with their fingers to see shortcuts to photos, videos and YouTube), Dual Window (splits the screen into two parts to accommodate the simultaneous execution of applications) and Swing Lockscreen (this feature refers to the lock screen that attempts to transform it into a work of art with 180-degree views and associated sounds).

The technical specifications of the version of the G Flex that will be released in Europe are:
