Smartphones don’t have to be flat. They don’t have to be rigid either. At least that’s what LG wants us to believe, and the G Flex is supposed to be the living proof of this radical concept.
Along with Samsung’s Galaxy Round, the LG G Flex is one of the first phones to feature a plastic-based display, the precursor to the much hyped truly flexible display. However, the G Flex’s design is arguably more radical than the Round’s and therefore probably a better embodiment of the technology.
Motorola hasn’t played in the true flagship space for several years. The Motorola Edge Plus marks a return to form for the company of sorts, and is an important one for several reasons.

Days before the release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End to PS4, Sony is bringing you a (very faint) taste of what to expect via Uncharted: Fortune Hunter.

Today, Nothing formally announced its first-ever smartphone known as the Nothing Phone 1. The company is the brainchild of CEO and co-founder Carl Pei, whose previous job was acting as co-founder and C-level officer of OnePlus. Everyone who has been following OnePlus’ trajectory since its inception in 2013 has likely already noticed the Nothing/OnePlus similarities over the Phone 1, although we still don’t know much about the device.
What we do know is that it will have a Snapdragon processor and an “iconic design.
Last year’s OnePlus One came out of nowhere and instantly shook up the market by bringing us a handset with flagship specs and Nexus-like pricing that put nearly all of its competitors to shame. Since then, the “flagship killer” has been followed up by the OnePlus 2, which has arguably failed to deliver the same momentum as the original. That’s not all OnePlus has up its sleeves for 2015 however, as the company has now unveiled the OnePlus X.
The rotating camera is now motorized, but that is just a small part of one of Oppo’s best packages yet with the Oppo N3. As the so-called selfie revolution continues in full swing, many OEMs are now offering different takes on what was the classically simple front-facing camera. From higher megapixel counts and ultra-wide angle lenses, to even identical rear and front-facing camera setups, there are a growing number of options available to all the selfie lovers out there.
