The availability of the new and innovative LG G Flex, the world first flexible smartphone, is now available for pre-order at AT&T. The phone will be listed at $299 with your standard two-year agreement or $0 down and $34.75 for 26 months or $0 down and $26.73 a month on NEXT 18 and 12 plans respectively. The LG G Flex is described as “Cutting-edge from the inside out” by LG, and, from the looks of things, that could be true.
The G Flex is powered by a unique, new, long-life type of battery and actually flexes along with the phone. The en-tire device is constructed from state-of-the-art materials inside and out, to perform feats no other smartphone can, all with uncompromising performance.
It looks like the possibilities are endless with this type of technology at your fingertips. This may or may not have some case restrictions, as that will remain to be seen once the phone is in your hands, and you’ll want to protect it in every way possible.

All these features are in a curved screen design take the smartphone to a new innovative level.

Thinking about the curved design and the all new curved experience makes my heart pound.

About Frank LaTorre
I live for every little technological advances we are making to make things better and easier. You can almost say it consumes me. I used to be a die-hard PC guy, building from the case up to the motherboard and installing software over and over again. Now I am all about the MAC because it just works with no questions asked except when it comes to Smart Phones I am all Android. Android is like art and the greatest masterpiece the freedom of expression. I have designed websites, and dabble in video editing trying to capture life’s most precious moments. I will give you the good the bad and the ugly. There will be some spilled milk along the way as we learn from our mistakes. As an AFN writer, I will tell you how it is and let you make the ultimate decision and make you feel confident that you did. Just keep in mind, I am not only human but part Android.
