front is a more standard 2.1Mp selfi e camera.
There's a strong line-up of wireless tech with
11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Smart Ready (Apt-X) 4.1, NFC,
SlimPort, GPS and 4G LTE.
Software
It's predictable but good to see Android 5.0 Lollipop
(the latest version) pre-loaded out of the box. The
interface is essentially the same that of the LG G3
with the fi rm's own UX. A nice new feature is called
Glance View and allows you can quickly see key
information such as the time and notifi cations when
the screen is o with a downwards swipe.
Android 5.0 Lollipop combined with the 64-bit
Snapdragon 810 makes for smooth performance but
we'll test this, along with battery life and other areas,
more thoroughly when we get a review sample.
Verdict
It's great to see LG come back with a follow-up to
the original G Flex which look and feels better and
comes with a ton of improvements. It’s the fi rst
exciting smartphone of the year and the best we
saw at CES 2015.
