The First Phone You Can Actually Bend: LG's G Flex

Posted by Soulskill on from the just-in-case-you-want-to-use-your-phone-as-a-slingshot dept.

iONiUM writes "As a follow up to LG's announcement of mass flexible OLED production, and as a competitor to the limited Samsung Round trial which was only available in Korea on SK Telecom, LG has released the G Flex phone which is curved vertically (instead of the Round's horizontal bend, which many thought was the 'wrong way'). In addition, the G Flex can actually be flexed, as shown in the video in the article."

    Soon you will pull out a small device, the same size as an iphone, but with two tubes at either end. And on a whim, you will unroll these tubes, revealing a large horizontal screen, where you can read your internets!

    BEHOLD!!! Cometh soon the iSCROLL! For all your iPapyrus needs!

    How did they make the battery flexible? It's a little light on the details.

    Exactly. Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine. I don't even recall there being a tape or video. It was probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably about a year ago.

    From like 2004 to 2011 I had a phone that I had to bend in half to answer.
