LG announced that its curved and flexible LG G Flex smartphone was coming to the U.S. via AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile at CES 2014. Timelines were not provided except to promise that it would happen sometime in Q1. Just days ago we told you that Sprint would launch it before the end of January. Sprint today confirmed that it will launch on January 31. Our prediction of a January 22 launch was off by a few days so we’ll make adjustments to the crystal ball for next time.
“Continuing to raise the bar in innovation, we are thrilled to once again team up with LG to bring a top-of-the-line device to our customers,” said David Owens, vice president of product, Sprint. “LG G Flex combines everything in a single device and provides Sprint customers curved ergonomic comfort and a cinematic viewing experience that will make movie buffs rejoice. With the multitude of Android™ apps available for download, LG G Flex with Sprint Spark, combined with Sprint’s new Sprint Framily Plan, make an ideal pair for today’s multimedia, multitasking lifestyles.”
While the LG G Flex will make its debut online and in in Sprint sales channels on January 31, Sprint points out that it will only arrive in its stores on February 7. Fortunately for those who cannot wait until then, Sprint also began to take pre-orders today. By pre-ordering, Sprint promises to do “our best” to get it into your hands by January 31. It is also throwing in a US$59.99 QuickWindow Folio Case for free.
Sprint will offer the LG G Flex for US$299 with a two-year contract or US$649.99 without a contract.
Look for the LG G Flex to make its debut at AT&T and T-Mobile USA in the near future as well.
