The sheer volume of Chinese manufactures has seldom helped us in remembering them, but among them a few companies do stand out and one among them is Oppo. Having produced only a handful of smartphones so far, Oppo have “made it large” because of their hardware and design language in their phones. Oppo have just launched their Oppo N1 and today we have images of what is probably the company’s next smartphone – Oppo R829.

LG G Flex Camera Samples

When Samsung announced the world’s first curved display smartphone, we expected the entire tech industry to follow. Though the form factor has little practical usage, every company had to prove that they were indeed capable of producing a curved display smartphone with no practical use. LG, Samsung’s rival from homeland to International market, were the next to follow with LG G Flex. LG proved me wrong about the practical usage part as their LG G Flex was capable of being bent(unlike Samsung’s curved smartphone – Samsung Galaxy Round) and also came with a special material at the back that allowed automatic healing of scratches.

With specs that at least on paper rival high end prosumer cameras, the QX100 certainly seems impressive but is it really ? We find out in our review.

LG G Flex Photo Gallery

Samsung was the first company to announce and launch a smartphone with a curved display – Samsung Galaxy Round. Soon after that, LG announced their curved display phone – LG G Flex. However, despite coming late to the party, LG equipped their G Flex with features like a bendable display and a bendable body. In addition to the bendable nature of the phone, it comes with a special material at the back that can heal the scratches that the phone suffers.
