As discussed in the earlier rumors, the LG G Flex using an unusual design when compared with smartphones in general. Even when compared to the Galaxy Round, LG G Flex will looks weird.

The oddity is in the middle (between the top and bottom) that are curved / concave. While the Galaxy Round concave side is in the middle between the right and left ( not up and down ) .

But in terms of specifications, the LG G Flex deserve thumbs up. With a 6-inch screen and HD resolution, the LG G Flex looks so great. If the Galaxy Round has the same size as the Galaxy Note 3 with 5.7 inch, the LG G Flex obviously greater.

The embedded processor on the LG G Flex also entered the ranks of the top processors for smartphones and tablets. Thanks to the quad-core 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor. As for its 2 GB RAM, LG embedded an Adreno 330 GPU.

It has been almost 2 years since Nokia decided to use windows phone as their primary platform. Nokia is considered unable to compete with Samsung and Apple today. However, the prediction that Nokia will bounce back and fight was justified by the media.

Through a variety of Lumia products released this year, Nokia is optimistic that they will return to compete with Samsung, Apple, Sony and LG in the smartphone and tablet market products. Last week Nokia released three new products, two smartphone and one tablet that predicted to be their best selling windows phone and tablet.

Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320 is Nokia's new smartphone products. The presence of both can be considered a complete curiosity where Nokia previously considered followed in a matter of quickly adopting smartphone and not a growing trend.

Trends in question was a matter of smartphone product with wider screens or so-called phablet (phone and tablet). We have had a lot of android phablet products flooding the market now, and consumers are a bit bored with this phenomenon because there is only a choice that offers android phablet.

Lumia 1520 offers something new. A 6-inch phablet from Nokia has a great spec, which is on par with the Galaxy Note 3 and the other high-end android phablet.

The Nexus 5 price as quoted from VR-Zone will have a price of USD 349 for the 16GB version. When viewed from this existing specifications, USD 349 for Nexus 5 is very worthy of the choice.

With a price of less than USD 400, the Nexus 5 will be the beginning where the other smartphone manufacturers will also lower the selling price of a smartphone with a similar spec. For comparison, the LG G2 still has a price at USD 600, while the Xperia Z1 that superior in terms of camera worth about USD 800.
