LG G Flex 2 Owners Thread!

SteM

Anyone hear any updates on then Android M will be out for this phone? No news as far as I can see.

Soon I guess

Has anyone else got shockingly bad battery performance? Really dissapointed with this, wondering if there is a fault with the phone. If I run a low intensity app (like QuizUp for example) for like 20 minutes it can drain the battery up to 20%

i got a lg g flex 2 on expansys for 300 delivered about 3 weeks ago and am impressed so far. I came from using a 5c but this knocks the sock off the iphone.

only minor issue so far is the overheating at times which is a know issue with the processor.

Hi guys, after seeing the joke prices for "upgrading" with Meteor, very seriously considering this phone. Currently have a Galaxy S5 and wondering would this be comparable? I'm not that technically proficient. I basically rely alot on using micro SD card for storage, do alot of downloading, etc. It seems quite reasonable at the moment and I could get for circa €250 from amazon.de.

Any advice much appreciated!

It's still a great phone, the Snapdragon 810 is significantly better than the 801 in the S5. Nobody has this in Ireland too so gets a lot of attention at a low cost. The LG interface is light which makes it a really straight forward and easy to use.

Thanks! I think I'll go for it!

Nice one! Its also one of the few phones to support a 2TB micro SD card. Obviously not yet released!

One thing people say is that the screen isn't the brightest in the world, but I think it's pretty decent.

At the current price point its worth a go!

mickser42

yes a fab phone at the price

Definitely root it. Get rid of the bloatware, install xposed and get the battery modules, I can get by charging every 2 days.

the goon

Ha! I'm totally intrigued by the notion of rooting a phone. Alas, I fear it is beyond my technical abilities. I can download and stuff but wouldn't have a clue how to root it.

Just saw a Harvey Norman Ad. They have these 4 years later for 139! I wonder what version on android it's running now?!?

They are pants.
I owned one when they are first released and they had overheating and throttling problems and proved slow at the time, despite looking gorgeous.
In recent months I jumped back in, looking for a backup phone while my Oneplus 6 was being repaired....
Nothing had changed, the LG G Flex 2 was still an attractive phone but it was overheating, the performance was awful. I tried the original launcher and a selection of alternatives, no help at all.
I ended up bringing it to CEX and trading it for 75 euro.
Avoid the phone like the plague.

Totally agree, the battery life was pretty poor too. I wonder where they got this four year old stock from and is it even worth their while selling the phone in 2019?

Might be wrong, but it's not the first time they've had this for sale, 99 the last time I think, or might of been elsewhere but it's pants compared to even the basic phones now, buuuut it's a curved screen ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
