LG to announce a smaller G Flex 2 by the end of the year

Last year's LG G Flex didn't exactly take the world by storm. Although featuring a unique curved display, the high price and the massive size were reason enough for most people to stay away from it.

But LG will be announcing a second generation model later this year. According to an unnamed LG executive in India, the second generation G Flex will be smaller than the first one and will feature a "better than Full HD" display. The first model had a 6.0-inch, 720p display.

The phone will launch in Korea first later this year, followed by other markets like US and India.
