LG G Flex Coming to Sprint Soon, Tipster Leaks Picture
The LG G Flex could be coming to Sprint soon as a tipster leaked an image onto the internet this week that shows the device with the carrier's branding.
The infamous Twitter leaker known as @evleaks discovered the image and posted it online earlier this week. It also provided the device's model number which was LS995. That was the only information made available at this time.
@evleaks tweeted a message last month that claimed the flexible smartphone will launch on all three major U.S. carriers sometime in the near future.
"LG G Flex confirmed for AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile," said @evleaks through Twitter in Nov.
The site is normally accurate when it comes to leaks; however, LG has not mentioned anything about launching the device through those carriers. If the rumor does turn out to be true, LG will beat Samsung by releasing the first flexible smartphone in the U.S.
Various promo videos for the G Flex have been released in the past few weeks revealing different features the device possesses including its ability to heal itself. It also comes with a flexible battery, flexible display and flexible chassis.
Other specs on the G Flex include a 6-inch 720p display, a 2.26GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 3500mAh battery.
It will also come with a button on the back which is a component that has been spotted in previous leaks. The backing on it is made from a "special protective film" has the ability to repair itself just minutes after it is scratched.
The G Flex does not feature any special software that caters to the Flex display, according to Android Authority. However, it does come with tilting wallpaper and different unlocking effects when the screen is touched in different places.
