[LG G Flex] therealciviczc:
My two cents since we're talking about it...

I went to the t-mobile store to get my wife a phone and ended up walking out with a flex. I previously had no notions about this phone, or the note 3 because I have always been a nexus person... in fact I had never read so much as a review of either phone. I ended up comparing both heavily and went with the flex.

The screen looks perfectly fine to me. This isn't justifying my purchase, this is just an honest opinion from a guy that doesn't obsess on screen detail. Until I read this thread, I didn't even realize the screen was an issue of question because it looks perfectly fine to the average eye. Unless you're looking for an extremely vivid clear display, I highly doubt the screen will stand out to you in any way (good or bad).

The phone is quick, except on unlock... when you hit the button on the back, there is a very slight delay before the screen comes on and you can unlock the phone. It is brief, but noticable and annoying.

Being a nexus user, I absolutely hate UIs. It is bad compared to stock android, but I found it better than the Note 3 which feels like they've just thrown all kinds of extra crap anywhere that it would fit. The flex feels slightly closer to stock. I'll be looking to get to something closer to stock android asap. That said, some aspects of the LG UI aren't bad. They've tried. You can set the # of homescreens, resize widgets, etc... many of the things you can do with an aftermarket launcher.

The curve is great. I love it. I have big hands, and I can use the phone one handed for the most part because the curve brings the screen closer to my thumb as my thumb travels up. I absolutely love it. I feel like I could never go back to a flat phone.

The camera seems awful unfortunately. My wife got an Xperia Z1S, and we took a bunch of pictures side by side, and the Xperia makes the flex look like a 1990s flip phone. The photos with flash make the people look like people from the movie Avatar (blue and matte). The photos without flash have enough grain to supplement a diet. There are tons of extra features that I'll never use. It is relatively quick as far as from the time you push the button to when it snaps, but aside from that, it has me begging for the stock android camera back.

The battery life is unreal. The reason I even considered something other than the nexus 5 was because I'm sick of "just turn off your wifi, gps, nfc, cell radio, turn screen brightness to zero, and set all apps to never update and your battery will be fine for a day" type of **** you get with a nexus. Those days are gone. I do nothing special with this phone, use it as i wish, and the battery is relentlessly good. I unplugged 4 hours ago from a full charge, and used the phone a couple of times for typical things (check fb, twitter, news, etc), and it is showing 100%. My old phone would be in the 80% range by now.

Over all I love it. I hate the bloat. I hate the worthless UI obstacles that they install to try to differentiate the phone. I strongly dislike the camera. All of that is outweighed greatly by the size, battery, feel, and curve. Hopefully these opinions will help someone make a decision. It is certainly worth a look.
