In terms of design, the G Flex 2 has a more pronounced curve running from top to bottom and has a coating on its back panel which can automatically heal minor scratches within 15 seconds. However, because its body and screen are curved, the phone's body is made of plastic. It also comes in two colors, silver and red. As for the G4, its body is also made of plastic due to the curved design, though it is much more subtle. For its back panel, a polycarbonate with a slight pattern is used, which comes in grey, gold and white, however, users who want more variety need not fret as the back panel can be replaced with leather versions that come in a wide range of colors.
