Looks fabulous! I just ordered mine on AT&T today and it should be here this weekend.

Depends on what phone you have now. I have both the T-Mo one and the T-Mo note 3. The bigger screen is nice on the G-Flex, but the screen on the Note 3 looks better to my eye. I do like the curved screen which is one reason I am willing to give the G-Flex a try. However the S-Pen is really nice on the Note 3. Only you can decide what you want. Go into a store and try out the GFlex and see what you think.

Ok so here are my first impressions, first thing i am coming from a Note 3 and like Prod said i notice the lower screen quality right away. From the wallpaper to the hideous LG icons does are the first to things i disliked right away. I was spoiled with the Note 3 1080p so i can really tell the difference kind of disappointed on flex screen. I played a 1080p Movie and it was ok not as bad as the icons, wallpaper and pictures on websites. On the other hand i like the phone itself the curve, buttons, size and feel pretty much everything so far. Phone feels snappier than Note 3 also. If only the screen was a 1080p this would be a really good phone. I have just played with it briefly so this are my initial thoughts. PS if you guys are debating on this or the Note 3 and if its going to be your long term phone go with Note 3, Like i said in other treads i change phones every 3 months or so and ill probably just have the flex for 2 months. One more pic Flex and Note 3.

I'm coming from note 2 and my plan was to get this phone, get the 6 months of Netflix, use it for 6 or 7 months and then use jump! To get the note 4,which should absolutely be a freaking beast.
Either that or get the s5 but I don't want the s5 then jump to the note 4. Besides I absolutely LOVE the way that the flex looks.

Yea one thing the flex does have is looks for sure and the curve, if coming from note 2 it shouldn't be that bad of a transition. I have been looking at some more 1080p movies on it and its good not as bad and there's something about the curve that give the movies a different feel I wasn't a believer on this but its true.

Saw it today at att store today, At person greeting at the entrance said the phone was not in yet, lol. but it was, I noticed on the way out as I was checking out the Mega and Note 3. The phone holds great in the hand and the curve looks great. After reading review here about the screen that's the first thing I looked for and noticed it a little. The Icon in the phone look as if stretched a bit. Then in youtube saw a HD 1080 vedio and was not impressed. Apart from that I would be very happy with this phone.
The phone seemed to fit in my front pocket no problem. I just started wearing glasses last year and sometimes I forget and my eyes start to hurt from reading on the phone. since you have both N3 and G Flex does reading a book look better (or even noticeable) on the Note 3 vs g Flex? I would imagine it would look sharper on the N3. thus causing less eye strain for me.
Have you tried installing Nova launcher to see if it gives you a crisper icons.
Enjoy you G Flex and thanks in advance.

Congrats on the new phone. I'm a phone whore like you. I took a look at the Flex today at a AT&T store since T-Mobile didn't have it yet and a snow storm is coming now. lol I liked it but coming from the G2 I'm not sure. I'll have to think about it some more.

Reading books and webpages would definitely be way better on Note 3. Thats the main disadvantage of the flex however on videos its not that bad. Again if ur looking for a long term phone i would suggest Note 3.

Ok if ur coming from G2 i would figure the change would not be so bad since its the same hardware and u are getting way more screen only thing would be the great screen quality on G2. In my situation. I gave up storage, 1080p and just gained a bit of screen, 3gb of ram, usb 3.0 and stylus (even though i never used it).

I like the Flex design and battery life but other then that it's just a stretched out G2. I'm just thinking after the newness wears off I might regret leaving the G2. I had the Note 2 and S4 before. I went to the G2 because it was different.

Well I was thinking of getting the flex coming from a note 2 but so much reviews on it not being 1080p has me worried but I figured well it couldn't be that bad coming from a note 2 so I might give it a try until the note 4 comes out.

Two words to keep me from Samsung: TouchWiz, Knox
I currently have and S4 I can't wait to get rid of. I got a G2 then TMO announced the Flex release. I returned the G2 because I didn't want to spend a JUMP. I'll be stopping by a store to see if they have it in stock. With better things coming, I think this is a good move to get flex now and see how the new (non Samsung) devices shake out in the next few months (G Pro among others).

Man I can't wait for mine to come in Friday...then its time to start working on root and building aospa!!!

Reason i changed to was that i have been using samsung for a while and wanted a change. I was initially going to change when g2 came out but non sd made me go to N3, but i figured i was not using much memory so went to flex for something new.

Just got the G Flex (Tmobile), not sure I'd recommend this phone

My first impressions of the G Flex:
Plus Side:
-The phone is thin and light
-The speaker gets decent volume
-It's fast and does everything with pep
-Battery life thus far seems to be fantastic
-Camera seems to be very serviceable
Minus Side:
-The screen has a texture/graininess to it reminiscent of the first generation of amoled phone displays. This is very noticeable in apps such as facebook.
-Dual Window doesn't work with every app.
Overall, my first impressions are mostly positive. Despite this, I wouldn't recommend this phone to the average consumer due to the display. The display has this grainy texture to it that really shows itself in apps like facebook. While I don't think it's a terrible thing outright, I definitely can see where this would be a point of contention for many people (especially those with an eye for detail).

I just picked up the phone as well. The above posters initial impression is the same as mine. The graininess is present on mine as well. Im still sitting in my car and thought it was a defect.

I don't think you really have to test for it per say. It seems more like it's just something that comes with this new technology, than something that is a defect. That said, you can pretty much see it anywhere the screen is not black. It seemed very ostensible in the facebook app, and it's even fairly apparent on the lock screen. I don't think it's necessarily a deal breaker or anything (I actually don't mind it too much), it's just a bit different than what most people are used to. As a result, I think many people may see it, and consider it to be a negative, hence why though I think this is a great phone, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to the average person.

I'm talking about the display. A screenshot won't show that.

Ah I see. I'm coming from the note 2, so 720p is all I've had thanks for the warning though I will check it out but I might still get it regardless while I wait for note 4

Honestly, I don't think this has much to do with the resolution, as it does with the technology that is in use. One thing I have noticed is that it is less apparent with the brightness higher. This leads me to believe this is more so a function of the technology being so new. It reminds me of the Galaxy Nexus display in some ways. I don't think it looks bad, but I don't think it's going to blow you away either. All in all, I think it's just different. If a person comes in with the expectations of a screen that they are used to seeing, they may be disappointed. If they come in with an open mind, they may find the screen to be decent.

I don't use facebook. What other apps? Tapatalk? How is it for surfing the web? I've seen it person 2x and the 3rd might be the charm. lol I played the video that comes with the phone and the display looked great. My issue it's not much different then my current G2. I just like the design and battery life.

Just got home and fiddled with the settings. The higher the brightness on standard mode makes it less noticeable. The effect is similar to how the screen will look after applying a wet screen protector, if that makes any sense.

It's very hard to get that grain texture to show up in photos, but I did the best I could to show it. In this picture, you can see where the background (which should be a smooth white), has this grainy texture to it.

It really doesn't make a difference what app you use, as that's just how the screen is. I used facebook as an example because I found that it's particularly noticeable in that app (I suppose because it's mainly pictures). I don't use tapatalk, so I can't speak to how it looks, but as for web browsing, you will see it there also.
On another note, something else I noticed is that the display can be slow to remove things from the screen at times. For example, when I was trying out the quick memo, I found that if I used black drawing on a light background, then when I erase the drawing, the shadow remains on the screen for a brief period. Fortunately, this is the only time I've seen this occur, and hopefully that flaw isn't present during other uses of the phone.

I just got mines today. And i really like it. Its a decent phone, dont even miss my note 3 lol

You really see it on white backgrounds. open the play store and you will see it. Also if you zoom in on say a webpage with a white background you will really see it. I am coming from a Note 3, the Flex's screen looks really bad. I just love how big it is with the curved screen.

Not sure if its AT&T network or my phone. But as of recently, when I turn on GPS, it can't find me. It'll get a general area (within 1 mile), but nothing compared to what it used to do (within 30 feet).

I haven't experienced those issues, but I'll use my Nexus 5 today when I travel to be safe.

I have the Note III, how do you say it has better internals than the Flex?
They have the same Snapdragon 800, they are both Quad cores, they both have the Adreno 330 graphics processor. The ONLY difference is the RAM, oh yeah the Flex has a 3500 mAh battery and the Note III has 3200 mAh battery. So how does the Note III have better internals again?
I'm not sticking up for the Flex here at all (I love my Note III) but it really can come down to the way Samsung and LG skin Android differently.

one tenth the bloat, and the stock ui is pretty decent until roms are available.
fanboys will always talk this and that about the screen... but have you seen it in person? how does the screen look to YOUR eyes?
for me, color is more important than xxx ppi or whatnot. love me oled.

Let me preface this. I wanted the gflex very badly and went to the T-Mobile store to see it. I am not a fan boy. I compared to my note extensively and the gflex failed on every level except its form factor was amazing. Loved the look and curve. I didn't notice it to be any more snappy then my note and the screen was the biggest disappointment side by side. If I wasn't looking at my note and then looking at the flex I can maybe see how people could say the screen looks nice...after you get past the horrible grainy screen when the brightness isn't turned up. Also its the combination of p oled and 720p that makes it so bad. The gflex 2 will be a lot better and will consider that next year once the technology is where it should be.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

you know, it was a tough call for me. In the end it comes down to personal preference and more importantly how you use the phone. As others have pointed out, the p-oled display reminds one of the GNex for those of us that used that phone. It's got some grain on low brightness settings and technically the Note III (and many other LCD displays like those in the One and G2) are superior. What I did was use the phones together for a week and at the end of that time period I ended up keeping the Flex. I've had the Note 3 since November and have enjoyed the phone very much for a while now but I found in that week where I had them together I had a slight preference for the Flex. I especially enjoy watching vid on the Flex as I don't use it in this context with low brightness settings. Turned up I find the screen is quite nice and the shape makes the experience for immersive for me. Sorry to sound like an advertising wag but this has indeed been my experience. YMMV. I like the Flex for making calls to. I actually still make a fair number of these and the Flex is more comfortable for me here than the N3. So these are my experiences but honestly you can't go wrong with either. Good luck with your decision.

the difference in the screen aren't enough for me to care, color/vividness matters more to me.
I was given a FREE z1s, and haven't touched it because of the terrible screen. seriously, its THAT bad.
for me, the flex is everything i need. the note was a bag of tricks that i hated.

I just picked up my flex last night and all I can say is WOW!!!
Not sure why anyone would complain about the screen on this phone; the screen is GORGEOUS, fast as snot, and would be a GREAT addition to your phone inventory..Who sits there and analyzes there screen all day anyways? This is a cell phone, not a 4k television.
Not sure if there is much reason to dump a note 3 for it, but, if you are torn between the 2, and don't care about S-pen stuff, the Flex would be a fantastic alternative..

You probably never owned the G flex. It's a fantastic device with insane battery life and speed. Yes the display isn't the best but it's still decent. Both the note 3 and flex are great, it's just that the flex offers something different vs the note that has same old touchwiz.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yep, they are both great devices; if you need a major productivity tool, the note 3 is probably a better choice; if you want a multimedia, fun, unique phone, the Flex deserves a serious look..
After 5 samsung phones in a row, I had a HTC one max which was very nice, but this thing blows that away, especially with tmobile service versus Sprint..

Okay, the display of the Flex is a mixed bag. Before I go any further, I have to admit I'm a fan of the Flex. Not a fan of Touch Wiz or Sammy Radios
What sucks about the Flex's display are the artifacts and ghosting. Its that simple. What is great is the color and 720. 720 you ask, well this is the best 720 android display you will find. After using the note 3 for sometime, then going to the Flex, you notice whites are whiter on the LG. That's something that's more important than splotchyness you might find. At least for me.

Once you go G Flex you cant use any other phone.

Hi, I have the G Flex for almost 2 weeks, and have been using it as my daily. After watching and reading the reviews online all the reviewers bashing it, already thinking its not a good phone I was skeptical about it before buying. Now after using this phone all i can say all the reviewers are getting paid by Samsung really well.
This phone is buy far the best and the most comfortable phone with biggest screen by far.
Faster and smoother then any phone in the market right now.
The screen is beautiful with HD screen all the apps are easier to use with one hand with this resolution compairing to full HD screens.
The UI on the G Flex is buy far the best and most castomisable with no hiccups.
Battery is the longest lasting of any phone.
Sound and speakers are very good.
Camera is also very good.
Does not get warm or hot when using it.
It has so many useful features like dubble tap to sleep or wake.
Swipe the navigation left and right to make it one hand use easier.
I have the Galaxy s4 now and when I try to use it. Its slow and in hand it feels like flat and dull.
The G Flexes Curve is so beautiful and comfortable after cuple of weeks that i cant never go back to any other phone.
I had all the top phones last year Galaxy Note 3, Nexus 5, Lg G 2, Htc One, Moto X and still have the Galazy s4 .
This is the best ,biggest, smoothest, fastest phone with a beautiful screen on the market right now. Don't trust the reviews, go buy it and use it, you will love it.

I've been saying this all along...if you buy a phone based on what reviewers have to say about it, you will miss out on alot of good things..
I came from a htc one max, another phone the reviewers hated, but that too was a fantastic phone, that everyone who had one agreed on.
Unfortunately it was on Sprint, and their network was just horrible in our area, so we went T-Mobile and couldnt be happier; I have a flex, and my wife/son have G2's, and we are all happy again..

Imagine if Samsung and Apple made this same exact phone what would have happened. Everyone would be all over this and screaming that this is innovation. Thank you Lg that you made this beautiful LG G Flex.

Hi, I have the G Flex for almost 2 weeks, and have been using it as my daily. After watching and reading the reviews online all the reviewers bashing it, already thinking its not a good phone I was skeptical about it before buying. Now after using this phone all i can say all the reviewers are getting paid by Samsung really well.
This phone is buy far the best and the most comfortable phone with biggest screen by far.
Faster and smoother then any phone in the market right now.
The screen is beautiful with HD screen all the apps are easier to use with one hand with this resolution compairing to full HD screens.
The UI on the G Flex is buy far the best and most castomisable with no hiccups.
Battery is the longest lasting of any phone.
Sound and speakers are very good.
Camera is also very good.

The G flex is my favorite phone at the moment, had the Korean version a few weeks and getting the AT&T version today. It's a beast. However...
- I don't think Samsung paid reviewers to bash it
- It isn't the smoothest and fastest android phone on the market, that title belongs to the nexus 5 hands down.
Other than that it has the best battery life ever, I love the UI customizability (just like the G2), it is the most comfortable big phone thanks to the curve, call quality is excellent, the display is better than most think (not the best obviously but definitely usable).

I love my G Flex in its current form. I just hope LG can push out the Kit Kat update sooner than later to make an already awesome phone even better

Well the G Flex has so many features that we dont need kitkat. I had the Nexus 5 on kitkat noting special. The proccessor is so fast that it handles anything.

Agreed; "newer" doesn't mean "better"

Sorry but I disagree.
My roommate just went and got one against my recommendation and I'm playing with it to see what I'm going to have to teach him how to use (he's used to TouchWiz).
Its single hallmark feature (the curved display) is the WORST I've ever seen on a mobile device! Its 720p, its not saturated, you can easily see the pixels on the screen without even having to put it close to your eyes, and it has a blue hue to it that is the worst that I've ever seen. It actually hurts my eyes to look at the screen. Big fail.
With that said, the talk about it being flimsy and such is exaggerated. It feels like you could break it, yes. But not any more so than a Note 3 feels and maybe slightly less.
The performance is absolutely stellar. I have to give it to LG on that one. I've never seen such a smooth device.
It really is a shame that they made such poor choices with the display. I was considering getting one myself until looking at that screen for 10 minutes. That was enough to seal it for me that this device is not for me, even with its incredible speed.

did you turn the brightness up to 70+?
makes a BIG difference..

I used the note 3, nexus 5 and the Galaxy s4 and the screen on Lg Flex is beautiful. I put it side by side with the s4 right now the G Flex looks better.

I traded in my S4 for the Flex. Nothing wrong with the display on it. Take it off the Auto setting and crank it up to at least 80%. Got lots of battery so no worries there like with the S4. Sure, 720p... big woop. Who else makes a curved 6 inch display that looks this good? I don't know what the bashers are looking at! Pretty harsh words from some of them. This device offers very adequate visuals with this display. Not by any means the best visuals but certainly not worthy of some of the trash talk that has been thrown at it. In 2 weeks of use, this has become my most favorite device ever overall. The size isn't a problem, the Jelly Bean 4.2 works really well, Battery is amazing! It really has to be a personal experience for everyone. It is a unique device after all.

lots of people feel the same way..
Not every one will like every device, and, that's the beauty of CHOICE, especially Android!
If you don't like this phone, that's ok, there are plenty of others to choose from.
Personally, I think this phone is super sweet, has a beautiful screen, is fast as hell, with super battery life. Lots of unique features, IMO, and once we get custom recovery and a rom or 2, this thing will become super popular...but even if it doesn't, who cares, this isnt a popularity contest, and no matter what, its really unique and fun just the way it is right now.

Everyone I've shown my phone were impressed by the large & rich display. Even one one friend tried to bend it

I will never bend my Flex. Guess the screen could get bubbles that go away. I used my G2 today and just picked up my Flex again. I loved my G2 but the Flex just feels a lot better to me. Not to mention just looking at the curve gets me excited. Ok TMI. Lol

Just give us a custom recovery and I'd love this forever phone until someone makes a 6 inch 1080 display that'll get me 19 plus hours of use. Coming from an s3 720 doesn't bother one bit

Im learning to like this g flex coming from a note 2 i dont think im missing out anytbing from a note 3 . Jump program made me try this out and so far im not totally satisfied but im.not regreting it either .

The screen isnt bad enough as to me not buying this phone. I really really like the screen. Smooth and bright without the super amoled saturation levels
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk

It's us the techy ppl that are more picky about the display but the general consumers don't notice the difference. At my job everyone is praising my G flex display, they have no idea it is 720p.

Just got my flex, so far I'm loving it. I've been comparing it with my note 3 and it's all good. Super fast

Goodbye all

Right after only having my lg g flex for 3 days I have to sell it. Just can't be dealing with the graininess of the screen it's just so bad when you come from a phone such as the nexus it's FHD screen to this one. Its such a shame because the phone is utterly amazing.

Did you set the screen mode to "Vivid"?

I hear ya and I would never keep the phone with one of the noisy panels as it's all I could see on the one that had it. Too bad you could not find a good one. Good luck with new phone which ever it will be.

yeah I`m on my third G flex and my first 2 where grainy and screen burn in, my third is perfect no image retention, or the grainy look :victory:

I got lucky on my first one. No grain and no image retention, which another one I saw suffered heavily. It looked horrible.

Haven't got rid of it yet but the screen doesn't burn in like the first one I had did. It is a rev 1.0 as well so it shouldn't have the grain in issue. Is it a Rom issue or is twit the LCD cause if it's the Rom then I will need to flash something else
Sent from my LG-D955 using XDA Free mobile app

I have read some say it can be fixed somewhat with firmware but I believe it is mostly screen hardware issue.

so where or what phone elements are grainy? had my phone for months and cant tell

i am about to say bye to the flex also. the day the nexus x drops, im paying off my phone and buying it. oh how i miss vanilla android and cyanogenmod...... it has nothing to do with the phone,the phone is perfect,but, developement is really slow due to locked down bootloaders,. but whatever. im just about over it. this phone would have been very very awesome with a working cm rom. so if i also dont get the chance to say it, bye flex world.

Said goodbye to my g flex last night. Traded it to a coworker for the Nexus 5.
Went from a phone with barely any development to a great Dev phone. Although I did really like the G flex. The not being able to flash ROMs like a madman was killing it. So good luck to the community here and thanks to the devs that did work and attempt. :beer:

Looking for a nexus 5 as well. This phone is prefect but without development its basically not worth it for me.

How do you cope with the significant drop in battery life doesn't that bother you a little bit? You have basically gone from best to worst in that regard =)
I've had a Nexus 5 a while ago. It's an awesome device because of the development. But I have other priorities today like battery life which I hold higher than anything else after a few years with Andriod.

Haven't had it but 24 hours lol. Battery life isn't that big a deal for me. I'm happy with the Nexus so far. Also it works better for me being able to keep it in my pocket at work and not feel like I'm going to snap it, working in machinery all night.
Having Android L, multirom, newest P.A and any other ROM also make it a much better choice. Looking into getting an extended battery for it also.

Took mine back 3 days after buying it. Coming from a lg g2 the screen clairity was something i couldn't deal with. When i was setting up the phone the games i redownloaded mostly gameloft games looked like sh÷t and the camera was not as good as the lg g2. Took that phone back and got a note 3 love it. Hopefully lg get the next version right because this phone could have been great. To be a big phone it feels perfect in the hands compared to the note 3. Enjoy the nexus 5 its a good phone.
