G-Flex, LG's first curved smartphone

Lastly after so many stories in the streets of tech-world, LG has publicized all the specifics of its 1^st curved screen smart phone, ‘G-Flex’.

In Contrast to Samsung\'s Galaxy round, the screen on the G Flex arcs from prime to bottom, not from sides, giving a more impression of curviness.

As told in official news by LG,  The LG G Flex also includes an array of new UX features :

- QTheater  gives users quick access to photos, videos and YouTube right from the lock screen. By touching the screen and dragging outward along the curved surface with both fingers, the apps appear with the effect of theater curtains being drawn.

- Dual Window divides the wide 6-inch screen into two separate windows for more effective multitasking.

- Swing Lockscreen alters the image on the lockscreen depending on how the G Flex is held.

- Face Detection Indicator displays the LED on the Rear Key in green to confirm status of face detection and focus.

- Camera Timer flashes the Rear Key LED to indicate that the countdown has begun.

- Urgent Call Alert flashes the LED on the Rear Key in red when several consecutive calls from the same person go unanswered.
