14 DAY TRIAL // AT&T is the second major US-based carriers that confirms when it will start taking pre-orders for the LG G Flex smartphone. Sprint was the first to announce the upcoming availability of the curved phone for January 31 and now AT&T confirmed it will take pre-order for the G Flex beginning January 24.
Unfortunately, the carrier did not disclose when exactly the smartphone will go on sale, but it might be available around the same time as Sprint's model or perhaps a week later.
According to AT&T, customers will be able to pre-purchase the smartphone for no less than $300 (€220) on 2-year agreements. In addition, customers will also also have the option of paying $26.74 per month with AT&T Next 18 or $34.75 per month with AT&T Next 12.
LG G Flex will ship with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box, but the South Korean company is expected to offer a KitKat upgrade in the coming months.
Hardware-wise, the G Flex is equipped with a 2.26GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory. The curved phone does not come with microSD card slot for memory expansion.
It is also worth mentioning LG G Flex boasts an innovative 6-inch HD OLED (Real RGB) capacitive touchscreen display and a flexible 3500 non-removable battery.
“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,” said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president – Devices, AT&T.
