“We offer smartphones and devices to fit every lifestyle. There’s nothing quite like the LG G Flex to enhance viewing video and images,” AT&T’s Senior Vice President-Devices Jeff Bradley said. “The unique design is great when using your thumbs to type a message and at the same time, delivers a great experience for video enthusiasts.”
