LG has officially released specs for G Flex, the company’s long-rumored curved-screen smartphone. The phone is curved along the horizontal axis, features an unusual lockscreen with direct-to-app pinching, and in an homage to X-Men’s Wolverine “self-heals” scratches in its outer casing. The phone joins Samsung’s Galaxy Round among the first curved-screen smartphones that will reach consumers. The curve of the G Flex is made possible through flexible OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology, the same class of material used by the Galaxy Round. LG claims that “the phone offers better ergonomics when making phone calls and will allow for a more immersive video experience,” reports The Verge. The shell casing’s cosmetic healing relies on a protective film that makes scratches disappear in moments. The new phone ranges in thickness along its length from 7.9 to 8.7 millimeters, weighs in at 177 grams, and boasts a 6-inch, 720-pixel screen. It runs on a 2.26-GHz quad-core Qualcomm Sn...

This is the new LG G Pro Lite. It's meant to bring some of the Optimus G Pro experience to a more money-conscious crowd and brings the welcome bonus that is a digital pen. It will offer a single and dual-SIM option and be available this month in South America, followed by Russia, China, India and various markets in the Middle East and Asia.

For two years, LG has seemingly abandoned the booming Android tablet market, after the 8.9-inch Optimus Pad disappointed critics and failed to attract customers. But it looks that LG has been plotting a comeback. The first clue was a trademark filing that included the term “G Pad”, among a few others, suggesting that the Korean manufacturer was working behind the scenes on a new tablet. Now according to the Greek site TechBlog, the G Pad is not only real, but it’s coming our way in just a few weeks. Citing sources with knowledge of the device, TechBlog claims that the G Pad features an 8.9-inch display of 1920 × 1200 resolution, which translates to an approximate pixel density of 247 ppi. An unspecified quad-core processor (probably a Snapdragon 600 or 800) and 2GB of RAM will power the device. In terms of design, the G Pad is reportedly going to feature an aluminum back, and, despite the size of its display, it will be narrow and thin enough to fit in a pocket. LG’s new Androi...
