Samsung acquires 10% of Pantech
In a move that puzzles many, Samsung has made a $50 million investment in a smaller rival Pantech, which also happen to be the third largest smartphone maker in Korea (after Samsung and LG). Pantech is known to make some fancy devices (Vega series) though most of them are not available outside of Korean peninsula. Perhaps Samsung could help Pantech reach new markets relying on its vast distribution network; perhaps it even ends up putting its own chips inside Pantech’s future gear. The latter is highly unlikely since the other … Read more

Verizon’s Pantech Perception available tomorrow for $99.99
Pantech Perception has been finally announced by Verizon Wireless, even though we’ve first seen it back in January. As you may know from that post, we’re talking about a solid mid-to-high end device with a big, 4.8-inch 720p HD screen a la Samsung Galaxy S III. In addition, it also comes with Qualcomm’s dual-core processor, 8-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front-facing one, LTE connectivity support and 16GB of internal storage. Or to put it differently, the Perception is just like the U.S. version of Sammy’s last year flagship device. The price … Read more

Pantech Vega Iron unveiled in Korea with 5-inch full HD, bezel-less screen
We’ve already told you that Pantech is working on a smartphone with bezel-less display and voila, the 5-inch Vega Iron is now officially official, at least in Korea and yet again, we’ve no idea whether the company will manage to bring this baby to the Western hemisphere. We do know that “bezel-less” in this case stands for 2.4mm, meaning you won’t be accidentally tapping the screen’s edges, but that’s still not the same as a 0mm bezel. In comparison, 2.4mm is roughly half the bezel width on an iPhone 5. … Read more

Pantech IM-A870 with bezel-less 5-inch screen in works
Bigger screens mean bigger devices. And while handset makers are giving their best to make the bezel around the screen as petit as possible to make smartphones more compact, we’re still waiting for a device with real edge-to-edge screen. Pantech is apparently working on such a “bezel-less” product as we speak, preparing it as an answer to Samsung’s newly announced Galaxy S4. We still don’t have all the details about the upcoming IM-A870, but we’re guessing it will be on-par with other high-end devices that will soon hit the market. … Read more

Verizon’s Pantech Perception caught at the FCC
The upcoming Pantech Perception has been caught at the FCC, hinting us that Verizon Wireless (or that’s Pantech) is completing the paperwork as it’s gearing toward the official launch. As you know from our previous post, we’re talking about a rock-solid mid-ranger, one that comes with a big 720p HD screen, LTE connectivity support and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor (most likely MSM8960). In addition, other “standard for Android” goodies also come included such as Wi-Fi, GPS, dual cameras and so on. It is said that the Perception will launch … Read more
