We got a chance to check out LGs first-ever curved smartphone, the G Flex, last month at an event in South Korea, but LG has now brought the phone to the US for us to see it. LGs Dr. Ramchan Woo also told us that the glass on the front is made quite thin to allow it to bend along with the rest of the phone. Dr. Woo also gave a few details on how the G Flex came to be — while he joked that LG only built it because the company got bored of flat, he also said that the companys been working on the device for about three years.
