Just a week ahead of the Mobile World Congress event, LG has announced the global rollout of its eagerly anticipated curved screen smartphone - G Flex 2.

The first to offer the LG G Flex 2 will be all major carriers in the US, UK, Hong Kong, Germany, France and Singapore. Other key markets in North America, South America, Europe and Asia will commence sales in the weeks following the MWC, as confirmed by LG.

"The G Flex2 shows the world that there's still room for design innovation in today's smartphones beyond just metal frames and larger displays. We think the G Flex2 is the perfect example of form and function coming together beautifully. It's a smartphone that people simply won't be able to take their eyes off of," said Juno Cho, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.

Clove UK and Expansys are also among the first retailers to have confirmed pre-orders, but are yet to reveal the pricing and availability.

Unveiled at the CES 2015 conference last month, the G Flex 2 managed to garner much acclaim for its stylish design and optimised UX features.

Its 5.5in full HD OLED display claims to deliver a sharp and vivid viewing experience from all angles. The Octa-core Snapdragon 810 is the power house for the smartphone that uses a 3000mAh battery. Check out the following links to place your pre-order.
