LG has kept us in the dark about LG G Flex availability in the United States for quite some time, though rumors have suggested launches at Sprint and AT&T for quite some time. That guessing game is over as the South Korean company has officially confirmed that the G Flex will be headed to AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint starting in Q1 2014.

They didn’t have much information to give in terms of actual dates and price tags, though we imagine each carrier will announce those details for their respective launches in due time. Sprint confirmed that their version of the G Flex would include Sprint Spark, which is their tri-band LTE radio configuration set to take advantage of Sprint’s latest network upgrades for the future.

The LG G Flex is a curved smartphone which LG says is more about tangible benefits than good looks. The ergonomic curved design of the 6-inch device makes it comfortable and natural for holding conversations, and its flexible nature makes it virtually indestructible. Even the back plate is self-healing, meaning this smartphone should endure even the toughest of conditions.

Here’s what’ll be coming to you in the months ahead:

  • 6-inch 720p HD display
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor
  • 2GB of RAM
  • 13 megapixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front camera
  • LTE, GPS,WiFi, and Bluetooth

We’re not sure if LG will be looking to bring the handset up to KitKat before launch, but you should at least expect Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. We went hands-on with the LG G Flex this week, so be sure to take a quick look at that ahead of the device’s availability in the weeks or months ahead. Stop by our G Flex forums and chat it up with the rest of the folks excited to get this device at some point.

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

  3. Well, I am interested.

  4. Its a bendy G2 with a not so good screen…

    1. 720p is more than enough on a 6 inch screen. Lg also has some of the best screens in mobile devices.

      1. I own a G2 and am very happy with the screen, but after getting use the the 1080p on that the 720 on my OG is not nearly as good looking, and this is 1.7 inches larger.

  5. If I wanted a 720 display, I’d buy a Moto X

  6. Pass… The Note 3 is still leading the phablet race. Now we’re just waiting for someone — maybe the Note 4 — to bump up to 4GB RAM, 64bit CPU, 2K display, _moarfeatures_, …

    1. Think I will be waiting for the Tegra K1 myself.

  7. Hmm… So I’ll be jumping to either this or the HTC One+. I can’t wait to see who wins me over. LoL!!

    Or maybe the Galaxy line-up can entice me. I can’t wait!! =.D

  8. 6 inches is about the size of my……….hand gun
