LG’s curved smartphone, the G Flex, will be making its way over to America in the early goings of this year. AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile will carry the device starting during the first quarter of 2014.

This is great news for anyone who had been longing for a chance to use the curved phone but have been turned off by the extremely pricey off-contract cost of around $940. A subsidized version of the G Flex could make the phone, which we found to be quite impressive in most aspects when we reviewed it, a more realistic option for consumers.

With a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM, it’s powerful enough to compete with most performance phones, and its large, curved 6-inch OLED display makes it stand out. Demand for the G Flex’s concave curves is hard to judge, but we’re sure LG would like to get it in people’s hands so they can feel the difference the curved design makes.

You can read our full review of the LG G Flex, with details and impressions about the device, here.

T-Mobile just set another 5G speed record

T-Mobile’s rivals may be nipping at its heels in the 5G race, but the Uncarrier is determined to stay ahead of the game. It not only boasts the fastest and most expansive 5G network in the U.S., but it’s actively working on technologies that will help it reach even greater peak speeds.

Two years ago, T-Mobile used a relatively new technique known as 5G Carrier Aggregation (5G CA) to achieve the kind of 3Gbps download speeds on midband frequencies that had previously been the exclusive domain of extremely high (and extremely short-range) mmWave technologies. Now, it’s chalked up another 5G first by taking advantage of the latest developments to shatter the traditional cap on upload speeds over sub-6GHz frequencies.

It seems like just yesterday that people were excited about 3G networks -- but here we are, with 5G readily available throughout the country. Offering the fastest possible speeds, 5G provides you with incredible connectivity and an overall improved smartphone experience. However, 5G isn't perfect. Select locations still don't have the best support, and if you're not actively using it, you might be tempted to turn 5G off entirely.

Verizon just took a huge leap ahead in the 5G race

After a year or two of steady growth in 5G performance among the big three U.S. carriers, things seemed to level off in 2023, with reports showing mostly incremental improvements each quarter.

However, it seems that the underdogs took a big leap forward in the last three months of the year. According to Ookla’s latest market research, Verizon and AT&T showed 5G speed increases of over 20% from the prior quarter — a change that’s resulted in Verizon significantly narrowing T-Mobile’s longstanding lead.
