LG G Flex 2 Featuring ‘Enhanced Flexibility’ and ‘Self-Healing’ Display Expected to be Launched at CES 2015 LG

The curved LG G Flex, clearly one of the best smartphones to be released at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2014), is now set to witness a successor in the form of the G Flex 2 at the CES 2015 in Las Vegas.

According to an Android Authority report, LG G Flex 2 will incorporate major upgrades in comparison to its predecessor.

However, exact details of these expected upgrades are yet to surface at the moment. Nonetheless, the Android Authority report also states that prospective buyers of LG's G Flex 2 smartphone can expect a high-res full HD OLED display. The screen is expected to incorporate 'self healing' properties.

Another expected aspect is its 'enhanced flexibility.'

The G Flex 2 is rumoured to offer a comparatively greater degree of flexibility, in comparison to its predecessor's outer-body flexibility limit.

The enhanced flexibility is reportedly due to a special rubber chassis that offers more robustness to the entire handset assembly.

It is worth remembering at this point in time that LG's first-gen G Flex smartphones was only the second 'curved display' smartphone to be launched during its times.

The Samsung Galaxy Round, launched a little before the original G-Flex, holds the distinction of being the first curved display smartphone.
