El LG G Flex 2 is undoubtedly the phablet more original that has seen the light so far in 2015, but with it it has become clear that, unlike what happened with its predecessor, LG wanted to create a device with an appeal that goes beyond its peculiar curved screen. Taking into account, in addition, that the first news in this regard suggest that it will be quite reasonably priced for a high-end phablet (around 600 euros), it may be seen by many as a real alternative to LG G3. We help you assess it with a video comparison between them.
Design and dimensions
This is the section that deserves the most attention when comparing these two devices, and not only because of the curved screen and self-healing casing of the LG G Flex 2 (but be careful, only the most superficial scratches disappear), but also because of the careful design that can be seen in the LG G3. There is no doubt that we find here two outstanding devices, even if it is the new phablet that inevitably attracts the most attention, even leaving aesthetic evaluations aside, both because it should have a certain advantage at least in terms of resistance as because many consider that its curvature makes it more ergonomic.
Among other merits we must recognize the LG G3, in any case, that of having a screen / size ratio really spectacular that, as we always emphasize, makes us enjoy a screen of 5.5 inches on a device of a similar size to any other flagship (they normally hover around 5 inches). The LG G Flex 2, in any case, it is not far behind, and its dimensions are just a little larger, as you can see.
Screen and camera
Despite the prominence of the design section, the comparison of both screens is almost as interesting: in both cases we have a screen of 5.5 inches, although the balance is clearly tilted to the side of the LG G3 as regards the resolution (Quad HD vs Full HD). The curved screen of the LG G Flex 2However, it has its own virtues, precisely thanks to that curvature that should generate a more immersive experience for video playback.
In the cameras section, however, we should find an absolute tie, since it could practically be said that we find the same camera in both devices (13 MP, laser autofocus, optical image stabilizer, dual LED flash), despite which, there are clear differences between the pictures made with both devices. You have a muestraIn any case, from minute 7:25, approximately, so that you can judge it for yourself.
Fluency and interface
The clearest advantage of LG G Flex 2 With respect to LG G3 It is probably in the performance section, since the lower resolution of its screen plays in its favor in this regard, and it also mounts a latest generation processor, the Snapdragon 810 (although its frequency is actually less than that of the Snapdragon 801 of the LG G3). In general, and although the superiority of the new phablet is perceptible, there are, however, no dramatic differences between the two for everyday tasks.
As regards the interface, when comparing two devices from the same manufacturer, we should consider this section of the competition practically null, especially because, although the LG G Flex 2 can boast of arriving already with Android Lollipop, the update for the LG G3 It has also been going on for quite some time. The unit that we see in the video, however, continues to run Android KitKat, which gives us the opportunity to take a look at the changes that will occur between one and the other, although it is true that they will not be too many.
