LG G4 screen to have slight curve

A new report out of Korea ahead of next week’s LG G4 release says the forthcoming smartphone will have a slightly curved screen to go with the rest of the hardware packed in to the new device. According to the report, the LG G4 will have a 3000-mm curve to the screen. This level of curvature is also present in other LG devices like the LG Magna and LG Spirit, so the company is not exactly breaking new ground.

For comparison, the LG G Flex 2 comes with a 700-mm curvature for a much more dramatic effect. Even the Samsung Galaxy Round, which curves along the x-axis, is a 400-mm radius.

The curvature present in the LG G4 may not be very noticeable to users and is probably so slight as to not offer much in the way of improved usability or features. However, the slight curve may help it survive drops since it will not fall flat.

While the curved screen will give LG some novelty points to play up when trying to sell the phone, expect more emphasis to be placed on features like the cameras and the removable back giving access to the battery. In particular, the G4’s f/1.8 sensor should give LG a noticeable edge over competitor devices like the Samsung Galaxy S6. LG is also packing in an 8MP front-facing camera for some seriously high-quality selfies.
