LG G Flex 2 or LG G4

[anon(5061193)]

I know that the G4 is not out yet and the public has not had a chance to weigh in yet... but I really want to get the LG g Flex 2 and was ready to buy until I started reading about the G4. I am not a spec junkie but still want a Flagship. I like the size of the Flex, like the removable battery of the G4.. and was wondering if people thought the user experience would be about the same and the choice would be basically Leather or Curve????

Love to hear some thoughts

It seems to me that if the flexibility and self-healing properties of the Flex are particularly important to you, you should choose that. Those are its main selling point.
Otherwise...

The Flex 2 received very mixed reviews. While many liked the curve, the performance was less than stellar (stuttering was the big complaint) which is likely the result of the snapdragon 810 processor which seems to suffer from thermal problems.

The G4 has been praised across the board. The 808, while slower on paper, is quite snappy in use. You'll also get a better camera and screen with the G4. If I was choosing between the two, and the price difference were not an issue, I cant think of any advantage the Flex 2 has over the G4.

As someone who is literally looking at both of these devices on his desk at the moment I would say the G4 is far superior, would definitely be my choice of out the 2.

The first Flex, specs wise was disappointing so I never followed up don't know anything about it.

Even if the performance and specs are similar I'm sold on the Leather backs. LOL

Pass on the G Flex 2. LG was able to consider the deficiencies of that phone, and design a flagship the right way - the G4. There are some cool and creative aspects of the Flex, but the G4 kills it in every way!

G4 is the way to go!

Can I ask how you have the two phones with you now? Is the G4 available ? or are you in the business??

After the reviews regarding the Flex, I'd really look hard the the 4 when it comes out and see if you still like the Flex. It sounds like you're one of those guys that only gets a phone every few years. If that's the case, you should make sure it's the phone you want to carry for the next 2 years. I've seen a lot of reviews slamming the Flex 2's camera, which is interesting, because that's what LG phones are known for now. I have a friend that bought the original Flex, he still uses it and loves it, so I wouldn't slam it. Just take a look at both devices before making a jump.

I don't like flexing phones. Tried the first one and it annoyed me. Especially the creaking. Not sure if the 2 has creaking but even if not... No interest in marginally flexible

Between the two, I'd go for the G4... The flex is too, well, flexed for my taste. I tried the first one briefly and it just feels weird to me. I'm not a fan of curved displays, not on TV's, not on phones, and even though I like the aesthetics of the S6 Edge, the glare around the edges is enough to keep me off it.

It's hard to say since the G4 is not out yet. However, as a G Flex 2 owner on AT&T, I can say I'm glad I got this phone, and I have no regrets. I haven't had any of the problems with this device that reviewers had with theirs. No overheating, no lag, however, the battery is not very impressive. I average 3.5 hours SOT at 40% brightness with about 20% battery left. As for the self healing back, it isn't that great. I wouldn't count on that working.

I know that I am premature in asking for advice on a phone that isn't out yet. but I love the idea of the Flex. I have never tried a curved phone before and am curious to see if I like it. I ordered the Flex yesterday and will give it a test run. I have the 14 days to return it and since the G4 isn't out yet. I will give it a whirl. i will let everyone know my feelings on it. I should have it in the mail today

Of the two I would go the the G4. For reasons everyone else covered here.

Or wait and see what this new LG phone is going to be. Yeah, LG said they're releasing a higher end phone in the 2nd half of this year.

Definitely let us know how you like it. I'm curious if you will also have a good experience with it. Just an FYI. I disabled carrier bloatware and am using Action Launcher 3 Pro with Moonshine icon pack. Hope you enjoy your Flex 2!
