What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

90	Coolsmartphone | Leigh Geary Premium quality build, design and features plus a form-factor that stands out. Fantastic camera, fast UI and stacks of storage. Read full review
90	Ubergizmo | Eliane Fiolet The LG G Flex 2 is very impressive, both in terms of hardware specifications and pure product design. This is a very unique phone that is a refreshing change from the traditional small "slate" format. Read full review
87	The Street | Gary Krakow Overall, we really like LG's new G Flex2 smartphone. It's a great combination of a large (but not too large) screen and modern features in a great-looking, ergonomically curved wrapper. Read full review
87	NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer This is a device for tech geeks who are looking for something out-of-the-ordinary. The second edition of LG's G Flex is still an eye-catcher. However, more practical devices are available for those simply looking for a phablet. Read full review
83	CNET UK | Lynn La The LG G Flex 2 has what it takes to compete in this year's smartphone arms race. As it stands, the G Flex 2 falls a hair behind. Read full review
80	AndroidPit | Kris Carlon The LG G Flex 2 is a very impressive phone that requires a lot of hard work to find flaws in. As a normal phone the G Flex 2 would be great, but adding a near-indestructable build quality makes it truly outstanding. Read full review
80	Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman Even if the LG G Flex 2 weren't curved, it would be a great phone. LG did a bang up job designing and assembling a spiffy phone of remarkable quality... The Flex 2 nails pretty much every feature across the board. The screen looks fantastic, data and call performance was quite good, and battery life was superior. Read full review
80	Digital Trends | Andy Boxall Curvaceous and capable, the LG G Flex2 should be a top choice for anyone who values style in their phone... The G Flex2's high-end specs are overshadowed by its even more superb aesthetics and ergonomics. It didn't end up bothering us much that the software had a hiccup or two, pre-launch, because LG has patched the phone and it works as fast as you'd expect. Read full review
80	Recombu | Chris Barraclough The G Flex 2 is still a pricey little sod, just like its predecessor Read full review
80	Brighthand | Dragan Petric The G Flex 2 seems like it's the kind of phone that would live or die by its striking design, but the truth is that it'd be fantastic with or without its curves. Read full review
80	S21 The LG G Flex 2 is something different - a smartphone with a curved screen and body. It's certainly designed to attract attention, but is a practical option too, with careful thought going into its unique design. It's also a high-spec smartphone with an 8-core processor and an excellent camera. Read full review
80	Android Authority | Joshua Vergara Great design and looks elevate this curved phone, but performance is hindered by a software experience that is not fully hashed out... It will be going too far to say that this isn't a worthy phone for daily usage, but without some real optimizations in the software, it's clear to us that this phone goes a few steps forward, but loses footing in where it counts most. Read full review
80	PC Advisor | Chris Martin It's still packed with tech but it's a shame to see occasional laggy performance which puts a dampener on things. Read full review
80	T3 | John Mccann More manageable in the hand, with an improved display and super speedy self-healing back - there's a lot to like about the LG G Flex 2. It's not small and it won't be cheap, but you'll be getting an unique device. Read full review
80	Pocket-lint | Chris Hall Although the G Flex 2 might not stand up against the inbound flagship refreshes, it's an interesting device, an improvement over the original, and certainly a talking point. It's less a gimmick, more a unique, powerful prospect for those seeking something a little different. Read full review
80	PC Pro | Jonathan Bray There are few smartphones around that can match the ability of the LG G Flex 2 to turn heads, so if that's a key part of what you want from a handset, there's nothing here that's going to put you off. It's a fast phone, and the screen, camera and battery life all hit the mark too. Even if you ignore the curved screen for a moment, it's worth noting that the LG G Flex 2 offers pretty good value for money as well Read full review
80	SlashGear | Vincent Nguyen If the price is right when US carriers weigh in over the coming weeks, and you can resist the charms of whatever Samsung and HTC have in store with the Galaxy S6 and One M9, that leaves the G Flex 2 a distinctive device well worth keeping on the shortlist. Read full review
80	TechRadar | Matt Swider LG's G Flex 2 is the company's second attempt at making a curved, flexible smartphone, and it's like the first try with properly bumped-up specs and a more manageable 5.5-inch screen. Read full review
80	Wired UK | Dave Oliver The LG G Flex 2 has made some significant improvements to the original, with a beefed up processor and greatly improved screen. It's a little smaller overall, as is the battery, but with more sensible pricing this is now looking like a genuine contender. Read full review
80	The Telegraph | Sophie Curtis In all, this is a highly desirable device, both aesthetically and practically. Apart from a few quibbles with the overheating and the shiny back, it's hard to fault. Read full review
80	Stuff | Andrew Williams If you're after the ultimate smartphone, this isn't it, and in the coming weeks the flood of new flagships will only make that more obvious. But if you want one looks unique, feels great in the hand and has power and battery life to spare, there really is no better option than the G Flex 2. Read full review
80	Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti Going back to the drawing board has paid off for LG because with the G Flex 2 they have managed to bring the specs of their flagship onto their wing-man category while preserving its quirky nature. Read full review
80	Digital Spy | Ian Morris It's not a perfect phone, but it's a really great attempt at doing something different with a mobile phone. Read full review
77	The Verge | Vlad Savov It stumbles on the more prosaic problems of software optimization, but that's where so many other phones have faltered, too. LG deserves credit for trying and succeeding at being different. Now the challenge is to be better. Read full review
75	pocketnow | Michael Fisher Once LG corrects these issues, via its promised software updates or hardware revisions, the G Flex 2 might live up to the potential of its impressive specs and futuristic design. For now, it's more valuable as yet another reminder that specs aren't everything. Read full review
70	TechSpot | Tim Schiesser LG has certainly tried to produce a unique smartphone that breaks away from the usual mold of flat, boring slabs, I'll give them that, though unfortunately it hasn't quite come off. This brings me to the price. Read full review
70	OtherGadgette | Holly Brockwell This phone shouldn't be positioned or priced as a flagship: it's a mid-ranger. And a good one, too... It looks cool, lasts ages, takes great pictures and has some really thoughtful features (like the button placement, or Gesture Shot). Yes, it has some big flaws: the WiFi issue, the overheating issue and the lag, but that's much more acceptable in a mid-range than a flagship. Read full review
70	Mashable | Pete Pachal LG has improved the design of its curved smartphone greatly with the LG G Flex 2, but it's a shame it didn't pay as much attention to performance. Read full review
60	Digital Versus | Rémi Jacquet The G Flex 2 is proof that LG has faith in its curved smartphone design. But for us, this second offering was as disappointing as the first. What's more, the optimisation isn't tip-top: the Flex 2 is hindered by an SoC which has clearly disrupted everything. We're a long way from what you'd expect at the high end of the range. Read full review
60	Expert Reviews | Katharine Byrne The G Flex 2's curved screen looks great, but an overly glossy chassis and average battery life detract from its overall appeal Read full review
