#Celebphone: which phone does Stephen Fry use?

Tech loving British comedian Stephen Fry whipped out his phone in a recent episode of QI, and it might not be the phone you’d expect him to have.

As part of a question of the popular game show, Fry used his phone to play the sound of a toilet flushing. It was obvious straight away that his phone of choice is much bigger than an iPhone, and then when he placed in on the desk infant of himself, we noticed it had a distinct bend down the middle.

Have you guessed it yet?

It turns out Fry uses an LG G Flex, one of the few phones in the world with a bendable screen. Of course, had we followed Fry’s Twitter account we would have known this over six-months ago.

Proud owner of new @LGUK G Flex phone. It’s huge, it’s curved, it’s quite interesting: which reminds me, 1st QI recording today. Revision!

This is an impressive celebrity endorsement for LG, given that Fry is a well-known lover of tech, going as far as to host a show titled Gadget Man back in 2012.
