The LG G Flex can be pre-ordered through AT&T starting on Jan. 24.

The carrier will offer reservations on the device at its retail locations and online starting on that date. There is no word on when the handset will actually ship.

AT&T will offer the device at $299 with a new two-year contract. The carrier will also sell it for $26.74 a month off-contract through its AT&T Nexus 18, and for $34.75 per month with AT&T Next 12.

The LG G Flex was recently announced for release through Sprint at the same on-contract price. It can also be purchased through the carrier's new Easy Pay program for a $150 down payment followed by 24 payments of $20 monthly.

Various promo videos for the G Flex have been released in the past few months 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.

The device's main appeal is that it provides a better experience for watching video. Users also have the ability to turn on multimedia apps directly from the lock screen, and have better ergonomics for phone calls.
