It seems the trend in technology these days is to make everything curved or flexible. Take, for instance, the new LG G Flex: For a TV, the benefit of a curved screen is (allegedly) to better conform to the curvature of the human eye, but it seems like with a phone the depth of field would be too close for the curvature to make a perceptible difference. Is there any benefit to having a curved/flexible phone apart from novelty value? I suppose it would be less likely to break under pressure, but it seems like the added cost of buying a flexible phone outweighs the minor benefit of protecting one from one's own absent-mindedness.

I'll wait for the LG G Sphere. Completely unusable, but it's a loving ball! E: it could come with a neat little inductive charging station shaped like a baseball glove.

TBH I would have grabbed the G-Flex over my HTC one if it were 1080p just because of the novelty.

IN the future phones will be just a piece of floppy plastic and you can toss them around haphazardly and it's going to own

Oh, so YOSPOS moved over here now. cool. Yeah the benefit to flexible screens is durability, the benefit to fixing a flexible screen in the same delicate glass as usual is marketing.
