Pantech News
Pantech is looking for buyers, as we’ve reported before. Korea’s third-largest handset maker has recently put its business on sale, and — according to an official from Samjong KMPG — it has received numerous letters of intent for purchase. One of the companies looking to grab the struggling company is China’s ZTE, which is already…
South Korea’s number three handset maker, Pantech, has seen better days, having filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. In July, the company asked for a deadline extension for repaying outstanding debt; and in August, despite convincing creditors to extend the repayment deadline by two years interest-free, it filed for court receivership, an equivalent to filing…
Pantech is preparing to launch another phablet in South Korea. Called Pop Up Note, it’s different than their previous big phone, Pantech Secret Note, in that sense that it doesn’t target users looking for the very best device there is. Rather, it comes with last-year’s top specs and likely a more affordable price tag. These…
The Pantech Vybe is now available from AT&T, Pantech announced today. The Vybe is a glorified feature phone with a slide-out keyboard, touchscreen and a dedicated camera button. The Vybe is aimed at no-frills customers, those who just want a simple cellphone that handles messages and phone calls. The Vybe also sports social media shortcuts, which…
Pantech is working on the successor of its Secret Note phablet (pictured above), Korean media is reporting. The story claims that, once released, this will be one of the best phones ever, boasting a big 6-inch QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) screen and Qualcomm’s 64-bit Snapdragon 810 chip, featuring ARM’s big.LITTLE technology with four Cortex-A57…
The earlier rumored Pantech Vega Iron 2 is now officially announced, and it’s rather amazing device despite lacking the Snapdragon 805 chip (as we’ve heard before). Rather, it relies on the still-solid Snapdragon 801, which is known for powering the HTC One M8 and Samsung Galaxy S5. Rest of the specs include a 5.3-inch full…
The still unannounced Pantech smartphone marked as IM-A888S has been caught at AnTuTu benchmarks. While we’re not sure how this phone will be called once it’s officially released, there’s a strong chance it will be the successor to the Pantech Vega LTE-A, which had the model number of IM-A880S. And from what the results are…
The upcoming Pantech Vega Iron 2 may be the first smartphone to rock Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 805 chip. Announced earlier this year, this SoC packs four Krait 450 cores running at 2.5GHz and Adreno 420 GPU that make it Qualcomm’s best chip yet. Aside from such powerful core, the Iron 2 will also rock a…
Samsung is working on the Galaxy S5, HTC on the successor to its One smartphone, LG – on G3, while Pantech wants to compete with its upcoming Vega Iron 2. This, still rumored device will apparently be a beast-phone, packing the top-notch hardware to make it a viable alternative to competing vendors’ high-end offering. According…
We’ve already told you that Pantech is preparing to launch a new product soon, and voila – the Vega Secret Up has been unveiled in Korea without a single word being said about its (potential) global release. Compared to the Pantech Secret Note, this is smaller device with a still big, 5.6-inch display. It also…
