LG to launch ‘world’s first’ curved flexing smart phone

LG Saudi Arabia, a world leader in electronics, is set to launch the LG G Flex, claimed to be the world’s first ever curved flexing smart phone soon in Saudi Arabia. The introduction of this innovative device in the Saudi market will take place in conjunction with other global key markets. The launch ceremony will be attended by professionals and media representatives.
Deuk Soo Ahn, president of LG Electronics Saudi Arabia, said: “The LG G Flex has captivated early adopters everywhere as the first curved smart phone to follow the contour of the human face, made possible with the implementation of the world’s first curved smart phone battery. With a durable plastic OLED (P-OLED) HD display, the G Flex also comes with a self-healing back cover that eliminates those day to-day scratches, making it the first smart phone to incorporate such technology.”
Ahn added: “These innovative features have earned LG’s latest smart phone significant praise and numerous accolades from major media outlets worldwide.”
The vertically curved G Flex is the latest device in LG’s premium G Series and incorporates proprietary innovations from other LG companies such as LG Display and LG Chem. The curved 6-inch Real RGB POLED display was developed specifically for the G Flex and is the largest of its kind in the world. The 3,500mAh curved battery from LG Chem was also developed with LG G Flex in mind and is also a world’s first.
Leith Kim, GSM manager of LG Electronics Saudi Arabia, said: “The LG G Flex will go on sale soon in Saudi Arabia through Mobily and leading electronics retailers. We are anticipating a great success for LG G Flex among the discerning Saudi consumers who are in constant search for the latest high-tech devices, especially smart phones with unique features.”
