South Korean electronics company LG has launched its Flex smartphone with an intriguing “self-healing” coating that supposedly allows it to recovers from accidental scratches.
To put this claim to the test, YouTube tech personality Marques Brownlee has deliberately scratched his LG Flex phone with his keys, mimicking the way they would rub up against the phone in his pocket.
Surprisingly, after just a few minutes, the light scratches were already mostly cleared up and barely noticeable, thus demonstrating the self-healing power of LG’s special cover coating.
Brownlee also took a knife to his LG Flex—while its self-healing feature was less effective in this case, the knife cut did become far less obvious than it would have been with a regular phone.
What do you think of this smartphone that can heal itself?
