三星对决LG：柔性智能手机之争 Meet The First Flexible Smartphone From LG The moment you’ve all been waiting for it here — possibly. LG Electronics has rolled out what it says is the first mobile device that can be bent out of shape or pressed flat onto a desk. 这个时刻，大家都在等待这款手机——或许是。LG电子推出了其自称的全球第一款柔性手机，该手机可弯曲，也可放在桌面上压平。 It’s a neat party trick, but LG along with that other flexi-phone frontrunner Samsung, will be carefully watching how consumers take these devices up before spending more to make them bend any further. 这非常吸引人，但LG和另一家柔性手机领域的先锋企业三星在花更多心思让它们能进一步弯曲之前，将谨慎观察消费者对此类设备的接受程度。 This week, LG Electronics launched what it’s calling the world’s first flexible smartphone, the six-inch, gently-curving G Flex. It went on sale in South Korea and will stay on the shelves for 10 days, with a not-so-gentle price of $940. If and when LG brings it to the U.S. in early 2014, a spokesman says the price with carrier contracts would be on par with other high-end smartphones. It goes on sale in Hong Kong on Dec. 13, and France in February 2014 with France Telecom 本周，LG电子发布了它称之为全球首款柔性智能手机的必威体育精装版产品——G Flex，该6英寸屏手机可轻微弯曲，将在韩国销售，上架时间为10天，售价高达940美元。一位发言人表示，如果LG在2014年初在美国发售这款手机，合约机价格会与其他高端智能机相当。在香港的发售时间为12月13日，在法国会由法国电信公司Orange在2014年2月发售。 LG representatives stopped by Forbes’s San Francisco office on Wednesday to give a demo of the G Flex, and show off its flexible qualities. LG的代表周三拜访了福布斯位于旧金山的办公室，对G Flex进行了一番演示，并展示了它的柔性特色。 Actually, “flexible” is a subjective here. Place the curved phone face down on a level surface and you can press it flat. Try to bend each end with your fingers and it will give way somewhat. When I asked if the device could bend right the other way, LG spokesman Chaz Abbott managed, with some effort, to get it to give a little more. 实际上，这里的“柔性”具有主观性。把弯起的手机面朝下放在水平表面上，你就能把它压平。用你的手指握住手机的两端向内弯折，手机会在一定程度上弯曲。当我问到这款设备是否能在另一个方向弯曲时，LG发言人查斯·阿博特（Chaz Abbott）用了点力气，让手机更弯了一点。 The G Flex is the product of years of research and development, with LG and arch rival Samsung the big device makers rushi
