LG to launch curved smartphone in Europe
The "G-Flex" was introduced in Seoul in October and will hit stores in 20 European nations, including France, Germany, Britain and Sweden, from February the firm said in a statement.
The G-Flex is curved on the vertical axis of the handset, which LG says offers a more immersive viewing experience and fits the contour of the face making it more comfortable to use.
LG said the new phone - already available in Asia - would also be introduced in the United States by the end of March. LG, the world's fourth-largest smartphone manufacturer, did not provide any pricing details.
Curved screens are still at a nascent stage in display technology, which is shifting towards flexible panels that can even be rolled or folded.
Handset makers including Samsung have launched curved-screen smartphones recently as they seek to stoke consumer interest in the increasingly saturated market with a new technology.
Samsung launched its first curved smartphone - the Galaxy Round - in October to a tepid reception from consumers disappointed by the largely experimental device.
