After a successful showing at CES, where it was launched for US Carriers, LG has just announced that the LG G Flex – the phone with the flexible curved screen and ‘Self Healing’ coating on the rear – will indeed be coming to Australian shores, but won’t be available through a carrier, instead it will be offered exclusively to customers through retailer Harvey Norman.
Starting, with pre-sales online today and coming to stores in February, the G Flex will be launching in ‘Titan Silver’ with a retail price of $999, making it slightly more higher end price wise than your average handset. While not subsidised by carriers, Harvey Norman will be offering a bonus to tempt customers into outlaying the $999 to purchase the phone – a $200 Harvey Norman gift voucher – if they are willing to sign up to an Optus ‘My Plan’ in the month of February.
Hardware wise the phone comes with the remarkable 6″ HD P-OLED(Polymer based OLED screen), which is not only curved, but flexible as well making it a very hardy device when it comes to those moments when the screen needs to flex. According to LG, the curve also brings the microphone in the phone closer to the users mouth. Adding to the overall durability is the remarkable ‘Self-Healing’ coating that’s been applied to the rear of the phone that will protect the phone from the every day scratches that normally mar your average smart phone.
