LG G Flex hits Korea on November 12

LG has unveiled the official release date of the G Flex curved smartphone for Korea - November 12. Its major rival - Samsung Galaxy Round is already available though in extremely limited quantities.

The LG G Flex is different from the Galaxy Round - it comes with a truly flexible body, screen and even a curved battery. It is powered by the same Snapdragon 800 chipset but comes with a lower resolution display, 720p.

Anyway, what's more important is the LG G Flex will make it to the international markets unlike the Galaxy Round, which will most probably remain a Korea exclusive. LG promises to release the G Flex in Europe, USA and China "as soon as possible". While this is not exactly the answer we've hoped for, it still sounds promising.
