AT&T launching LG G Flex 2 for $200 more than Sprint version

The curved-display LG G Flex 2 is expanding its U.S. availability, as the handset is all set to join AT&T's lineup on Friday, April 24.

The original LG G Flex stirred plenty of interest last year due to its intriguing form factor with an ergonomic curvature, and its successor now boasts notable improvements on all fronts.

The LG G Flex 2 made its official debut back in January at the CES 2015, rocking impressive specs and features all around. Sprint was the first U.S. carrier to start offering the curved-display powerhouse, followed by U.S. Cellular a while after. AT&T is now joining the party, but its pricing doesn't sound too attractive.

More specifically, AT&T will be selling the LG G Flex 2 for $299.99 when agreeing to sign a two-year contract, or for $709 outright, contract-free. The handset will also be available with monthly installments with $0 down, followed by $23.64 per month for 30 months, $29.55 per month for 24 months, or $34.35 per month for 20 months with AT&T Next options.

It's worth pointing out that Sprint has been offering the LG G Flex 2 since March, and its prices are considerably lower than what AT&T is charging for the same device. For instance, the smartphone costs $199.99 on-contract from Sprint, and $504 contract-free, at full retail price, which means that AT&T is asking $100 more for the device on-contract and $200 more outright.

For those unfamiliar with the handset, the LG G Flex 2 features a 5.5-inch flexible P-OLED display with a full HD 1080p resolution, a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage capacity, and microSD support for additional memory of up to 2TB.

Other specs of the LG G Flex 2 include a 13-megapixel rear camera with OIS+ and Laser Auto Focus, a 2.1-megapixel front shooter, and a 3,000 mAh fast-charge battery. The smartphone ships with an LG Fast Charger included in the box. On the software side, the handset runs Android 5.0 Lollipop.
