LAS VEGAS (AP) – LG is unveiling a new curved smartphone at CES. The International CES show in Las Vegas this week isn’t typically a major forum for mobile products, as many manufacturers wait a month or two for the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. But it’s hard to separate mobile from other technologies these days.
That’s underscored as everyday products such as cars and home appliances get Internet connectivity. Consequently, many manufacturers promoted their mobile products and smart-home developments alongside new televisions and other traditional consumer electronics. Here are the highlights of those announcements Monday.

ALL IN THE SCREENS:
LG’s new G Flex 2 has a slightly curved screen, as the name implies. LG says that makes phones easier to hold and the display easier to read. Even more notable is the fact that LG is also making the Flex 2 smaller than its predecessor, countering a trend toward bigger and bigger phones.
