Looks very nice but i really dont like the feeling of samsungs and LG's phones. I prefer to have build quality over specs. Meaning if it felt nice like a HTC One or Iphone then yes, I would.

I was thinking about it. I think the price was around £550. I think the screen was a bit of a letdown. The rest of the specs looked good but the screen was bad.

I personally have one right now and I will most likely return it. I'll give it another week before I return it. Restocking fees are a pain to test out a phone you may or may not like... Oh well, it's understandable why they'd charge it so I don't mind it as much.   Camera is mediocre at best and the screen isn't great... Switching to a HTC One for the better build quality and 1080p screen.

The Flex is a bigger phone then my Note 3 is but the curve makes the size easier to handle then the Note 3.  There's two things I don't like about the flex tho and that's the Android 4.2.2 version compared to the Note 3's Android 4.3 and I don't think I like the idea of downgrading to 720p after having a phone with 1080p screen.

 

With the high prices that the networks are looking for it makes it a bit out of my price range, looks like am stuck with my Note 3 till my contract runs out or there something that comes out that makes worth selling the Note 3 for.

Cry Havoc!

LG G Flex has decent specs besides the screen. Even if thee screen was better, would not get it. I am happy with my Galaxy S4.

If only it had a 1080p screen... I would have liked it.  While using it, I noticed everything looked grainy and the text isn't as sharp... And the camera is fairly poor in my opinion for a high end phone.  Would have been nice if they added image stabilization though.  Overall, it's a good phone with great specs, but falls short on the screen and camera.  I'd give it 7.5/10.  I'd buy a GEN 2 version of this assuming the camera and screen are improved.

I wonder if the low ppi and resolution is a result of the "flex". I don't think its worth it. :/
