HIGHLIGHTS

LG has announced the successor to its curved smartphone and comes packed with some heavy specifications alongside the beautiful curved display

CES has officially started and while we have already heard some announcements, here is a big one from LG. The G Flex 2 has been officially announced and it comes in as a perfect successor to original G Flex. The handset comes with LG's own P-OLED which now has a resolution of 1080p while shrinking the size down to a 5.5-inch which sounds much more pracatical than the previous 6-inch 720p display.Of course it is protected by a glass which developed by LG itself. 

The back, once again, has been covered with a self healing coating and this time LG says that it has improved on it by cutting the heal time from 3 minutes to 10 seconds at room temperature.

The screen is protected by an LG-developed glass cover that is said to be 20% more durable than Gorilla Glass 3. The back has a special self-healing coating – LG marked a massive improvement by cutting the heal time from 3 minutes to just 10 seconds at room temperature.
