Additionally, LG G Flex2 users can enjoy a long-lasting 3,000mAh battery backed by a fast-charging feature, supplying a 50 percent charge in just under 40 minutes.* LG G Flex2 will launch with Android 5.0 Lollipop.

We look forward to bringing it to market with innovative carriers, including Sprint.”
