[LG G Flex] gamingforfact:
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.
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
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.
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
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.
[LG G Flex] mr pnut:
I just got mines today. And i really like it. Its a decent phone, dont even miss my note 3 lol
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
I can use my Jump upgrade to get the Flex. What happens if I want to got back to the G2. I'm **** out of luck? lol I guess I could sell or trade the Flex but then I wasted the Jump. Hmmmm
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
Mysterioustko you're scaring the Crap out of me D:
[LG G Flex] mr pnut:
Wat tmobile did for me was instead of using my jump they just added the phone to my account which added another 15 dollars extra a month but i also paid 400 dollars out of my pocket so i wont owe that much.
[LG G Flex] gtamgs15:
Lol, I thought the same when I saw it too.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
Think I might just use my Jump now. Bday is June. He he. What phone did u have?
[LG G Flex] Prod1702:
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.
[LG G Flex] mr pnut:
I also have the note 3
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
I think many people will wind up feeling that way about the display, especially if they came from a phone with a good display. This phone has some very good positives (battery life, speaker volume, etc), but sadly, the display is not one of them.

It is worth mentioning that in the display settings, there is an option called "auto-adjust screen tone", and that disabling it seems to help the issue a little bit.
[LG G Flex] barondebxl:
Its like wet news paper lol but seriously it is, I had the Korean g flex. But at 50% brightness and above its just fine.
[LG G Flex] agentscuba314:
Hey mine has a blue hue at the top of the screen, I'm wondering if you are noticing the same. Even if I pull up a white image, its blue along the top left...
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
Just got back from t-mobile and the phone is great. The screen isn't so bad me but coming from the note 3 or something similar i could see how it would feel like a downgrade. Overall i still feel like ill only keep it until the note 4 comes out.

Don't regret it one bit ;) just LOVE the screen size!
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
I don't have any blue hue. Sounds like it may be defective.

I'm in a similar boat. I may only be keeping this until the release of the G Pro 2. My favorite thing about the Flex, is not having to think about the battery. There's something to be said about being able to use your phone however you like and how long you like, without having to consider the battery.
[LG G Flex] vw65bus:
I'm also coming from a note 3 and nexus 5. The display is what worried me. The size I love, and curve. The main reason for me wanting one is the size and battery life.

I gave my wife my note 3 when I ordered the nexus 5 and I hate the battery life. The phone is excellent except for battery and size.

I'm curious as to lag, has anyone who has experience with the nexus 5 how does it stack up.

I loved the note but the stupid button at the bottom finally got on my last nerve and the touchwiz bothered me a little. After using the nexus 5 I've been spoiled by the speed. I know I can root the flex but thought about maybe leaving it alone this time around for the use of multi tasking.

I've used it in store for about 10 mins but that's just not enough time to learn it. I think after a couple of days I'll get over the display but worried about speed/lag.

I'm going tomorrow to probably pick one up Thanks
[LG G Flex] agentscuba314:
This is a pure white image
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
I too am coming from the Nexus 5. With that said, I found the Flex to be just as good as the Nexus, in the performance category. I've tried to slow this phone down intentionally, and have not been able to do it.
[LG G Flex] vw65bus:
Thanks for the quick reply. Glad to hear that. I'm going tomorrow to get one if the store has any and this helps me clarify my decision.

I'll miss that clear screen but to be honest I missed my oled display when I switched to the nexus.

So you really like yours
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
I'm not in love with it yet. To be fair, this is my first use of a phablet as my daily driver, so the size is a bit of an adjustment. This definitely isn't a one-handed use phone.

Overall, I don't have any major complaints. I can live with the display, as I knew this was cutting edge tech, so I didn't expect it to be 100% mature yet. I wish the dual window feature worked with more apps. It kind of sucks that it is so limited. Hopefully that will change in the future.

To make a long story short, there really isn't anything special that I can point at, with this phone, that would make me say it's something special. By the same token, it does what does well (decent speaker, good performance, good camera, great battery life, etc). In short, I like it lol.
[LG G Flex] cheapshot789:
Ill be keeping flex till g pro 2 also, recent reports says about 77% screen ratio at 5.99, im all about the screen to bezel ratio.
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
I'm coming from the note 2 and I can use it with one hand... Maybe I'm just used to big phones?
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
The Flex is a bit larger than the Note 2. I found the Note 2 to be a bit easier to handle with one hand, than the Flex. The Flex is by no means a one-handed use device.
[LG G Flex] vw65bus:
Hope I don't regret waiting on the pro. I just really like the curved display for some reason lol. What's the ratio on the flex
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
Have you guys found a case yet? I need to get one ASAP and I have amazon prime but don't know what to pick
[LG G Flex] kewlgirl05:
I noticed that Otterbox makes a case for it. Not sure of other manufacturers as I haven't really looked around yet.
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
I keep this one like I keep all my phones....NAKED! :laugh:
[LG G Flex] imarq:
I ordered an incipio feather case for mine
[LG G Flex] gtamgs15:
Birthday suit ftw. I'm right with you, never had a case for my phone. Just doesn't feel right.
[LG G Flex] mrphil101:
Lost my gnex 4 so i switched from att to tmo today and picked this phone up. After a couple of variants of the nexus i was wanting something different. A bit pricey. Not to crazy about the button on the back and the double tap to wake. how is that going to effect it when it is in my pocket? Hopefully some devs will come along and help with the display, but it isn't too bad as it is. Definitely has a grey/blueish tint to it as far as white goes. but i am happy to have a larger display. I can do most stuff with only one hand. Been changing passwords for a few hours to cover for lost phone so i haven't got much time in on it yet, but it has some nice features. Overall, I am happy.
[LG G Flex] Thraxzzz:
You'll soon get use to the screen, had this phone since December. Previously using z1,i guess the Flex blew my mind off
[LG G Flex] cheapshot789:
In a good or bad way...
[LG G Flex] jscroppo:
I'm already used to it only had it for a day, i came from a z1s and am glad i made the switch
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
For me, part of why I select a phone is because I like the build of it, and the way it looks. Personally, I don't see a point in having a phone with a great build and great look, if you're just going to cover it up with a case.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
I read some reviews on this guy a couple of weeks ago, and the screen issue was mentioned by most reviewers. I have old, lousy eyes, so I doubt that would bother me at this point, but coming from a One Max, with that awe sum screen might be tough..

Any chance there will be a glass type screen protector for this bad boy, or is it just too curved? Havent played with one yet, but will this weekend.

Any accessories out there yet, or, as usual, are most mfgs. waiting to see how well the phone sells before they make anything? A case of some sort is a must, especially if you drop alot, and, want to get the most $$$ when you sell it down the road..

thanks!
[LG G Flex] vw65bus:
Just got mine a little bit ago and loving it more than i thought i would. They had 3 different cases at T-Mobile that were nice. I've also seen 2 different otter box cases for it. I think you'll like the phone but I've never used a one max so i can't compare.
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
The screen on this doesn't even compare with the one max that phone is sick. To be honest I really like it though and battery life seems to be excellent on lte which was one of my concerns
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
any concern about no sd card slot?

I hear its fast as snot..

The sound on the one max is stunning, but I hear the sound on the Gflex is better than the note 3 and most others...is that true?

thanks again
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
It's hard to explain but I feel like you will feel this phone will be a downgrade. I'm not trying to scare you but if you already have the one max, in my opinion, if I had that phone, I would not switch to this.

The speaker is not as loud as my note 2 was, BUT, screen size and battery life was important to ME and not display quality, speaker volume / clarity, or SD slots (at the moment anyways).

Hope I made sense
[LG G Flex] Bowmanspeer:
There are a few case options on ebay. I mainly want a kickstand in the case for this and found on for less than $7 shipped. There are some that offer a screen protector with case too. Depends on what you want to spend.

Sent. Edited. Sent again. Deleted, and rewritten. Sent again.
[LG G Flex] cheapshot789:
I dont know why some people are saying speaker is not good i find it the same and as loud as my note 3.
[LG G Flex] pvaldeben:
Saw it a second time at at&t store and this time with out the critical eye its looked really nice and felt awesome in my hand. Feels very light to me for the size.

Also people are saying white are not that white. That is fine with me because my eyes cants stand extra bright whites. Like when I had the HTC One S and went into settings at night time, wow was that a eye numbing flash of white light. Lasted only 3 or 4 months before I sold it the One S.

I think I can get used to the screen quality coming from a Note 2 and GS3. Colors are not as bright and seems little washed from what I used to on the Note 2. Glad people are saying the good and bad about the Flex. This is great info,

If its at T-Mobile store tomorrow I'm going to get it.

Cheers
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
I understand completely what you are saying..

We have to dump Sprint, as my wife cant make phone calls from our house with her phone, nor can my son...they have htc ones, with the "old" sprint network, and even with an AirRave, her calls are horrible. the one max is on the new Sprint Spark network, and calls are fine, but that doesnt help her, so its gonna be Tmobile and the wifi from home calling for us.

I cant decide between the Xperia Z1s, the note 3, or this Flex. I had 5 samsung phones in a row, and are sick of them, but, the Development on the note 3 is so strong, its hard to not go for it.....
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
pretty nice review here..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6G-7ZlYqm8
[LG G Flex] ccmxda:
I think its great

My thoughts:

-Coming from Note 2, I think this screen is perfectly fine. Actually it looks good to me, but I could see why someone who prioritizes the screen for features would think its a downgrade if you have the latest and best screen resolutions

-The curve is great, its definitely not a fad. It does look great and feel more immersive, browsing and watching movies seems more natural. Your eyeball curves up and down when you read, its probably in my head but I think its giving me less of a headache to read on a curve. It does cut back glare vs staring at my note 2. Feels better in my pocket and feels better on my face (but the phone is huge! which i love)

-By all tests shown it is not easily broken, this was a big plus for me. I"ve broken an iPhone 4, 5, iPod touch, and Note 2 from a simple drop on the ground. That will not happen with this and thats important to me. I'm not going to throw it against a wall (but it could probably handle that too), I just don't want it to break when it falls.

-I've already seen hairline scratches disappear, i doubt it will get a knife cut so I don't care if a knife cut disappears, I hate hairline scratches and glad I don't have to worry about them.

-The sound and speaker is much better than my note 2, the call clarity seems much better

-Its fast!! Really zippy in and out of applications, definitely faster than my note 2

-I think the back button is perfect for my index finger placement, i'm already used to it and I like it better

-The size! Is great. Its not a full two hand use phone like some complain. I don't have large hands, I have no problem doing most things with one hand in the right position, and supplement screen movements with the other when I need to, but by no means holding it with two hands

-I dont notice all the complaints of severe graininess, yea if you look hard its a little grainy but I think you have to be really screen picky to not like this display. I did turn off that auto adjust screen thing as suggested, and brightened it up right away per other suggestions, so maybe thats why I don't mind the screen. But I also come from a Note 2 and notice barely a difference (even though this has less ppi than the note 2). I did once notice this ghost appears of the key board for a couple seconds when I left a screen, but I haven't seen it again. The white isn't pure white, but I think thats good. White isn't pure white on my macbook either, that would drive me nuts.

Anyway, I think this is the best phone out there right now (for me) despite a slight downgrade in a screen ppi

Enjoy yours
[LG G Flex] stillbrad:
Went to T-Mobile yesterday to check the phone out. I really wanted to buy it so that's why I went. I compared it side by side with my note 3 and its a noticeable downgrade. The screen absolutely sucks. I mean its so bad it looks like a phone screen from 2 years ago. I couldn't bring myself to use my JUMP for it. Very disappointed. I really wanted this phone.
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
2 Thumbs up to you kind sir best review/thoughts so far and helpful since I'm on a note 2. I never held a G2 so I wouldn't know how superior the resolution are compare to the flex but this is very helpful I'm heading to pick one up after work this and the post from the helpful folks in the battery thread helped alot on my decision as to I also focus on phones with amazing battery life that wouldn't rely on me taking my charger to work.
[LG G Flex] stillbrad:
Good luck it sucks. Note 2 still has a better screen. I would venture to say the G Flex has the most terrible screen on the market. Anybody who thinks its "good" or is a nice display already bought it and is trying to justify their purchase again I really wanted this phone and it just sucks to look at which you do all day every day so people saying its not a big deal to them...just doesn't make a sense and loses all credibility in my book.
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
HI, I came from the note 2 and absolutely do not regret my purchase. The screen is not as good as the note 3 but that was not my concern. Screen size and battery life were and let me tell you that this phone delivers. I had 5:15 hours screen on time and over 50% battery left.

Either way I bet the note 3 doesn't do that.

Also, doesn't matter since I will be jumping to the note 4 when it comes out.
[LG G Flex] stillbrad:
That was my plan too get the flex then get note 4 ... But the screen was so bad I would regret getting the flex after 2 mins.
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
Just get the s5 then. If I had the note 3 I wouldn't get this either, but I'm telling you right now this phone's battery is beast. I had the 6200mah battery on my note 2 and this battery is just as good. I get over 10 hours screen time... Just ridiculous
[LG G Flex] ccmxda:
Or, you are trying to justify not getting it....

I have no regrets at all about my purchase and I will enjoy this bad boy for 12 months or until the next curve screen upgrade.

Sent from my big beautiful G Flex!

Lol I agree. Have had it 1.5days and already used to the screen
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
a few posters have said that cranking the brightness up makes a huge improvement to any screen issues that might be bothering you..
[LG G Flex] tian105:
Coming from the note3, which i found laggy as hell. This phone is so buttery smooth like a nexus device. +1 on the insane battery life
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
anyone care about no sd card slot? How much actual "room" is there before loading it up with apps and stuff?

thanks!
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
24gb. I recently started using Spotify so haven't had to put much music on my phone. You also get 6 months of Netflix free with this phone so that's cool for video. I use other video streaming apps for the rest. Also XBMC. So to be honest I found I really don't need the SD card.

Of course, individual needs are different but for me it seems to be working on out.

Ps, it helps if you have unlimited data lol I use about 20gb/mo with T-Mobile
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
wow 20 gigs is a load! How do you use that much??

I keep about 8 gigs of music on my phone, although there are plenty of other ways to listen..I like to keep a couple movies on there too, and that runs another 6-8 gigs..

my real concern is when/if the Dev really kicks in for this phone, storing all the Nand's that I tend to accumulate, at around a gig or so each.

I guess it would be easy enough to off load them to the pc, especially since this guy has USB 3.0, and transferring a gig shouldnt take more than a minute or so..

thanks for the info!
[LG G Flex] vw65bus:
I tried posting this earlier also but for some reason it said server down. I agree totally, if you can get use to the display this phone is as close to a nexus devise with a oem interface. I highly recommend it except screen but I've grown to like the display rather quick
[LG G Flex] pvaldeben:
After reading good and bad reviews I picked one up today. SWEEEEEeeet. I'm loving it.

Called 2 t-mobile stores and both have it in stock. Got it with 0 down + jump program. I was surprised how jump works so I got it and can always switch after 6 month if anything. For those who don't know, JUMP is also insurance for the phone, its 10 bucks extra. Usually my policy on new phones is to always get insurance for first 6 month when any repairs would be most costly.

So I have 2 weeks to play :cyclops: and tryout before I cannot return it. if I do return it , its 50 bucks restocking fee at t-mobile. I'm very happy so far with this phone.

:good: Something that never worked on Samsung. It detected my printer (Canon MX882) on the network and I was able to print a web page sweet.

Again thanks for all the reviews I knew exact ally what I was getting and that gives me peace of mind.

Cheers Mates
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Well I got the phone and no lie I'm loving it lol heck I went to my friends house first to show him the phone he has a note 2 just like I did and he thought the screen was amazing so yea I guess everyone just has their own opinion I'm loving it so far by the way this is off topic but since I'm used to Sammy phones can anyone guide me to a legit root forum for this phone?

I may have missed this, but how is the form factor and even size compared to the Note 3?
[LG G Flex] howetechnical:
I spent an hour and a half at T-Mobile today comparing the Note 3 and G Flex. I simply couldn't disregard the screen on the G Flex when next to the Note 3. But in the end, the pros of the G Flex outweighed the Note 3, whether it be speed, appearance of the ROM, form factor and feel (it curves very nicely to big hands, and I can use it as a one-hander), and screen size. The Note 3 simply felt too boxy after holding the G Flex.

I'm getting used to the screen the more I play with it. Don't know why they didn't put 1080p on this thing, it has the battery for it, but this was probably their test into the market. Next version will have 1080p I'm sure.

Really liking the device.
[LG G Flex] Bladerunner1825us:
Its ironic that really the only major fault of the phone is the display quality when the primary selling point of the phone is the display haha. I for one am really digging this phone coming from a nexus 7/pantec dumbphone combo, the display is pretty good for me. I do get the weird burn in effect when changing screens though. It goes away pretty quick so no big deal. I have also already gotten alot of positive coments on the flex too so like the og note its good ice breaker stuff. All in all very solid device!
[LG G Flex] alhadee12:
I need to get the two phones together and compare them. It seems like a big phone, but possibly not as big as the Windows Phablet. What about not having Kit Kat?
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
so few phones actually have "official" kit kat now; since this is now LG's "Flagship" phone now, it certainly will be the first one to get kit kat..

The grainy ness is easy to get used too its p-oled aka plastic - oled kind of like matte screens on monitors/laptops also helps prevent glare. i barly notice it anyway unless brightness is up max. which i never have it 100% brightness just got my flex today and love it! using nova launcher on att flex anyone else?
[LG G Flex] imarq:
I love nova launcher, been using it forever!
[LG G Flex] Skizzy034:

why do you say that? Is LG bad at updating OS's?
