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.

It doesn’t look like anyone can beat T-Mobile

Even as all three big U.S. carriers continue to expand their fastest midrange 5G coverage, T-Mobile maintains a healthy lead on the competition -- especially when it comes to overall network speeds across both 4G/LTE and 5G.

That’s the word from Ookla’s H1 U.S. Connectivity Report published today. While the latest scores show that Verizon and AT&T have made considerable strides in 5G performance, they still have a long way to go before they can match T-Mobile’s lead -- and there’s an even greater gap when it comes to overall network performance.

T-Mobile is getting rid of its misleading ‘Price Lock’ policy

T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert standing in front of a banner that reads Internet Freedom.

T-Mobile just got into some trouble with the National Advertising Program (NAD), a part of the BBB National Programs, an independent non-profit organization, for advertising its supposed “Price Lock” policy for 5G internet service.

Basically, the premise behind the “Price Lock” was a promise not to increase prices for customers who were on the Un-Contract Promise: “Starting January 18, 2024, customers activating or switching to an eligible rate plan get our Price Lock guarantee that only you can change what you pay—and we mean it!”
