Pantech unveiled what seems as an awesome Android smartphone in South Korea – Vega X. Its awesomeness comes from few things:
- It comes with a large 4-inch WVGA touchscreen,
- There’s a 1GHz Snapdragon MSM8255 processor under the hood, and
- It rocks DDR2 memory which is said to be 1.5 faster than DDR1 (used in existing smartphones).
In addition, there’s also a 5-megapixel camera on board and I guess other “standard for Android” goodies like 3G and WiFi connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth, sensors and so on.
The accent, as you can imagine, is put on the DDR2 memory. According to Pantech Vice President Lee Eung-joon, “When surfing the Internet, searching the Web, running applications or 3D games, its speed is so fast that it could threaten the existence of personal computers.”
And while I’m not sure it will threaten my PC for any time soon, I do applaud Pantech for experimenting with new technologies and can’t wait to try out the Vega X at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Unfortunately, that will most likely be the only chance to see it in action…
