Followed by the announcements for **India** and the US, LG is all set to bring the G Flex – with curved display – to 20 European nations including the UK, France, Germany and Italy. The G Flex was announced for India last month and is slated to launch sometime in February for a price of around **Rs 60,000 to Rs 65,000** . It is slated for a February launch in Europe too, while users in the US will have to wait until April to get their hands on the phone.   The company is expected to reveal the exact pricing for the Indian market as we near the launch. Though the launch month is known, there is no word on the exact dates yet. The G Flex is already available in markets such as Korea and Singapore, among others. The company announced its partnership with AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile lately to launch the G Flex in the US market.   The design of the G Flex is vertical oriented as the phone is curved on the horizontal axis. According to LG, the design reduces the distance between user’s mouth and microphone when the Flex is held against the ear. In terms of specs, it is powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM. On the camera front, the G Flex comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera. It packs in a 3,500 mAh battery and runs on Android 4.2.2.   One of the highlights of the device is the “self healing” protective film for the back panel. LG claims that the phone can heal itself against minor scratches and bumps. The special protective film on the back cover will ensure that the hairline scratches disappear within minutes.   Apart from the LG Flex, Samsung has its version of a curved handset in the form of the Galaxy Round. **Click here** to read our specs comparison of both devices.
