We've been hearing whispers of a new 'bendable and unbreakable' smartphone from LG for some time now, but this week Engadget got its hands on a trio of renders of the upcoming device. According to our sources, the phone -- appropriately called the G Flex -- will come out sometime next month with a curved 6-inch display. Unlike Samsung's Galaxy Round, which was announced last week, the Flex will bend orthogonally from top to bottom. Head on up for more info, and another image of the leaked device.
The rumors are true folks; this week Apple confirmed its October 22nd event, teasing that the company still has 'a lot to cover.' What exactly are we expecting to see?

Regardless of the news, we'll be covering the event live starting at 10AM PT this Tuesday. Click the link above for more, and stay tuned for our rumor roundup.
