Traditionally, most Nexus products and devices usually don't get named according to their brand makers and often times they are either called the Google Nexus 4 only. This has always been the official stance except for when Samsung did the Nexus S. Recent reports in Korea have highlighted the fact that if LG had their way, they'd have named the recent Google Nexus 5 the Nexus G. While it isn't a big secret that LG did make the recent Google Nexus 5 device, Google said no, perhaps to avoid confusion with other similarly named Google products like the Motorola Moto G. LG is well known for their G series of devices like the LG G2, LG G Flex, LG G Pad and many other LG G products.

Samsung and LG both recently came out with curved display smartphones in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex. While both show off what each company can do with flexible display technology, both don't really show off what a flexible display smartphone can do. Samsung looks to be changing that as they are applying for a US patent for a flexible wraparound display smartphone much like the one earlier seen at CES 2013 when Samsung showed off their Youm display devices. The patent application mentions that it is about a "Method and apparatus for operating functions of portable terminal having bended display" and indicates that this could be one of the first of Samsung's bended display smartphones, which were earlier spotted in a roadmap slide.

It is a rather well-known fact that both Samsung and LG have flexible display technology. According to some reports LG may soon release a smartphone with a curved or concave screen using this flexible display technology. Reports have been rather mixed though as we have a translated report stating that a curved screen smartphone going by the name of LG Z will be revealed in October 2013. However, there is another report stating that an LG smartphone using the same flexible display technology called the LG G Flex would be revealed in November 2013. This could be 2 flexible display or curved smartphones from LG or it could be the same 1 curved screen LG smartphone. Unfortunately other tech specs, features and details are not available at this time. No Malaysia release dates or pricing either but we'll keep you updated when the LG Z or LG G Flex breaks cover.
