CES 2015: LG announces G Flex 2 with improved specs and user experience


CNET is on the CES show floor and posted a first look at the LG G Flex 2.
The LG G Flex 2 improves on the original G Flex in several areas, including the display resolution, processor, slightly smaller screen size, and Android OS. The 720p display of the G Flex was quite a disappointment so it is great to see a 5.5 inch 1080p display here on the G Flex 2.
