Customers in the UK only need to wait until February to get their hands on the curved G Flex phone from LG.
The Korean firm has partnered with mobile network EE to make the 6-inch bendy handset available sometime in February – although the exact date and price have not yet been announced.
LG officially unveiled the G Flex phone in October, after months of rumours and speculation.
The device is vertically curved so it moulds more comfortably to a user’s face and gives improved voice and sound quality by reducing the distance between a user’s mouth and the microphone.
It also claims the vertically curved shape increases the sound level by three decibels, compared to flat smartphones.
LG additionally announced the device has a so-called ‘self-healing’ case made from an elastic coating capable of ‘recovering from daily wear-and-tear scratches and nicks.’
However, the firm did not explain how the coating ‘heals’ itself, just adding that the case keeps the G Flex ‘looking newer longer.
LG announced at the start of October it had finished work on the 6-inch flexible OLED display now seen on the G Flex phone.
It is made from plastic substrates, rather than glass, and this gives it flexibility as well as making it unbreakable.
The phone also has a curved battery, developed by LG’s research arm LG Chem.
Other features include a 13MP rear-facing camera with a timer that uses the Rear Key to show a countdown has started.
The QTheater tool gives users quick access to photos, videos and YouTube from the lock screen.
