Rogers to launch the LG G Flex this Spring

Phone manufacturers are realizing that they need to evolve and innovate their device designs in order to stand-out, or you know, sell them. Specs just aren't enough anymore. Such is the case with the LG G Flex, the new wunderkind of LG, and soon to be flagship. Initially leaked online, then shown off in the flesh at last months CES2014 conference in Las Vegas, the G Flex is the first device to hit the market with a curved screen "designed to follow the curve of the human face". The LTE-enabled G Flex features a 6-inch 720p OLED display, runs an out-dated Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, sports a 2.26GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP camera and a 2.1MP front-facing camera, plus a curved 3,500 mAh battery. 

One more thing, the G Flex will come to Canada as a Rogers exclusive, as the title suggests. Pricing and official availability are yet to be known, but you can go and reserve it through Rogers here.
