LG G Flex 2 UK release date: When is the LG G Flex 2 coming out?

All the rumours about the LG G Flex 2's release date suggested it would be unveiled at CES 2015, and so it was. LG's press conference was scheduled for 5 January at 8am Pacific Time. That's 4pm in the UK - and we brought it to you live. You can watch the LG press conference here.

As of 12 March, the LG Flex 2 is available on the Vodafone network. It told us customers who buy the device on a Red 4G plan will receive a LG G Watch R at no additional cost (whilst stocks last). Prices start from £39.50 per month (£19 upfront cost) on a Vodafone Red 4G Price Plan, giving customers a choice of free access to Spotify Premium, Sky Sports Mobile TV or a Now TV Entertainment Pass as part of Vodafones Ultimate Entertainment Package.

Carphone Warehouse has also begun listing the LG G Flex 2, with plans starting at £34.50 per month with no upfront charge. Carphone Warehouse will match any cheaper tariffs, and customers will get a free LG Bluetooth speaker and LG Quick Circle case worth £160 (while stocks last).

LG G Flex 2 UK price: How much will the LG G Flex 2 cost?

A SIM-free price has not been confirmed for the LG G Flex 2, although Vodafone is offering it from £39.50 per month (with a £19 upfront fee). LG traditionally prices its flagship smartphones around £100 or so lower than its rivals, so we should be looking at around £499 SIM-free. A claimed 'leaked' listing has the LG G Flex 2 at 599 though, so we will see.
