LG G Flex made it way officially to the United States, so we managed to spend some one on one time with an AT&T version of the self-healing curved phablet. The LTE device is also offered by T-Mobile and Sprint across the Atlantic.
The AT&T branded LG G Flex sports the same hardware as the Korean version which we extensively reviewed. Its specs include Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in memory, 6” 720p curved P-OLED touchscreen, and 13MP camera.
Unlike its Korean sibling which ships in a sleek-looking, well-appointed retail box, the retail package of the AT&T LG G Flex covers only the basics. Inside the orange/white box with AT&T branding you will find a charger, a USB cable, and a tool for removing the SIM card alongside a couple of booklets.
In the flesh, the LG G Flex for AT&T looks as eye-grabbing as expected. AT&T deserves praise for keeping its on branding to a minimum. Save for a small globe on the back of the device, there are no other signs of AT&T presence on its body.
Kudos to AT&T for keeping the carrier branding to a minimum
Software-wise, the LG G Flex for AT&T boots Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, dressed in LG’s feature-rich, proprietary UI. There is good deal of AT&T bloatware on board, but, thankfully, it can be removed by the user.

With a $299.99 on-contract price LG G Flex for AT&T has plenty of competition to face in the mature US market. AT&T alone offers Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Nokia Lumia 1520, and the ageing but quite capable LG Optimus G Pro. Each of the phablet’s competitors offers more polished experience and, very importantly, better display for less money.
