A new Samsung smartphone with some flashy new features. A new HTC flagship prioritizing premium build quality. A slew of new wearables for the new year. Call us crazy, but it's almost like we've been here before.

In addition to the usual news of the week and the torrent of pre-MWC leaks, though, we are indeed bringing you something special: a guest from the land known as Greenbot. While we've hung out with her plenty of times before, this'll be our first combined device evaluation in quite some time – and today we're picking apart a doozy. Join us as we team up with Florence Ion to recap the LG G Flex 2 review!

All of the above, plus the usual trio of listener letters, lies ahead; join us, won't you? Pocketnow Weekly 136 is waiting for your participation –either through the live video stream at 12:45pm Eastern on February 20 or the high-quality audio version available later on– and shoot your questions to podcast [AT] pocketnow [DOT] com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air. See you then!
