A special feature of note is the back cover of self-healing. According to LG, the polymer of which it is composed would allow it to cover themselves small scratches on the body, making them virtually invisible. Turning to the technical specifications, we note some components from top of the range and others a little subdued.
The same curved display does not reach the FullHD resolution despite being 6 ” but stops at 720p. Inside Snapdragon CPU 800 2.26 GHz, 2GB of RAM and 13-megapixel camera.
