G Flex will give LG its own curved display smartphone

Samsung may have started the trend but LG isn’t going to let them be the only one with a curved display smartphone.

Get ready for the LG G Flex.

LG is preparing a smartphone with a curved display, CNET has learned. It confirms previous chatter about the company’s work with plastic OLED screen technology.

While plans haven’t been finalized, LG will likely go with the name “G Flex” for the curved smartphone, according to a person familiar with the company’s launch plans. It will feature a 6-inch display. LG is slated to introduce the phone in November, although that date could shift. CNET obtained a sketch of the G Flex.
