South Korea’s tech giant LG Electronics Inc. said Tuesday it plans to launch the G Flex, its first smartphone with a curved display, in the European market next month.
The country’s No. 2 smartphone maker said it has decided to roll out the G Flex in 20 European countries, with the releases in Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden and Austria scheduled for next month.
The company had released it at home in November and followed up with launches in a handful of Asian countries, including Hong Kong and Singapore, the next month.
The U.S. launch is slated for March, the company announced earlier. The G Flex boasts a 6-inch plastic OLED display that curves inward as well as unique features such as “KnockOn,” which lets users turn on their phone by tapping the display twice.
The smartphone, which also features a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera and a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and runs on the Long-Term Evolution Advanced mobile network. (Yonhap News)
