The new device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC with 2.26GHz quad-core CPU, and a 13-megapixel camera. The rest of the specs include 2GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in memory, microSD card slot, and 13MP camera.

"The 6-inch display found in the G Flex is the world's largest Plastic OLED (POLED) display developed and mass produced specifically for smartphones. The ultra-thin, ultra-light flexible POLED display and curved OLED panel are built on plastic substrates instead of glass, giving LG G Flex its unique shape and durability," the company said in a statement.

The smartphone packs full connectivity like BT 4.0 / USB 3.0 compatible / WiFi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) / NFC with the speedy LTE-A networks in Korea.

The measures of the LG G Flex are 160.5 x 81.6 x 7.9/8.7mm (the thickness of the phone depends on the point of its curve), while its weight tips the scale at 177 grams. The handset is powered by a 3,500mAh battery.

"The LG G Flex is the best representation yet of how a smartphone should be curved," said Dr Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics mobile communications company.

The LG Flex will be available in Korea starting in November through all three major local carriers. Availability in additional markets will be announced thereafter.
