AT&T announced Monday that it will start accepting pre-orders of LG G Flex at its stores and online on Jan. 24.
AT&T senior vice president for devices Jeff Bradley told the Wall Street Journal, “We're proud to offer the LG G Flex, our first smartphone with a curved screen, in the U.S. and add the device to the nation's most reliable 4G LTE network. We offer smartphones and devices to fit every lifestyle. There's nothing quite like the LG G Flex to enhance viewing video and images. The unique design is great when using your thumbs to type a message and at the same time, delivers a great experience for video enthusiasts. Combined with AT&T's premium network, the nation's most reliable wireless service, you have an unbeatable combination of features and value.”
The second largest mobile network provider in the U.S., is offering the LG G Flex at $299.99 under a two-year contract. Additionally customers can opt to grab the flexible smartphone at $34.75 monthly with AT&T’s Next 12 or at $26.74 monthly with AT&T’s Next 18.
LG G Flex is already LTE Advanced enabled. It is the first smartphone that fashions a 6-inch display that gives away an immersive viewing experience, which helps reduce glare, and a curved screen with HD OLED. It features a 2.26 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with quad-core Krait CPU, 2-gigabyte RAM and up to 32-gigabyte internal memory, and runs on Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2.
It also has one 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and one 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, and a curved 3,500 mAh battery.
“LG G Flex represents the shape of innovation and LG's technical design leadership in the mobile market,” said Morris Lee, senior vice president and head of North American sales and marketing, LG Mobile Communications Company to the WSJ. “Its unique curved display and curved battery, plus LG's innovative rear key and Knock feature, make the LG G Flex an exciting device for AT&T customers.”
