Pantech is preparing to launch a new phone in its own backyard next month. The forthcoming device will rock a 5-inch screen and a fingerprint recognition sensor, ET News is reporting. We don’t have other details but we do guess the rest of this phone’s specs will be top-notch and include things like Qualcomm Snapdragon…
Pantech unveiled another super-phone in its own backyard. The chances are you’ll never be able to try out the Pantech Vega Secret Note and it’s a shame. The reason is simple – it’s arguably the best phablet ever made. Not only does it rock a big 5.9-inch full HD screen, but also all other high-end…
The existing Vega LTE-A with its 5.6-inch screen isn’t enough for Pantech. As part of what looks like the “keeping up with the Joneses” strategy (where Samsung is playing the neighbor), the Korean company will soon be launching another phablet, the one with an even bigger, 5.9-inch screen. Set to be officially announced on October…
As expected, Pantech has announced the Vega LTE-A (model number IM-A880S) in South Korea, without saying anything about bringing this powerful phablet to the West. As we’ve reported earlier, the Vega LTE-A borrows some cues from the LG G2, boasting a fingerprint reader and touch sensor on the back. Specs are also similar to LG’s…
Pantech is preparing to unveil a device that looks somewhat similar to the also-upcoming LG G2, featuring volume controls on the back of the phone.

Pantech filed for the “fablet” trademark, hinting us it’s getting even more serious about the phablet market. The Korean company already has the Vega No. 6 phablet which is one of the sexiest such devices out there though unfortunately it’s available only in a few countries. Perhaps the new name will be used to bring…
AT&T has started rolling out over-the-air updates for two phones from its portfolio, Pantech Discover and Samsung Galaxy S3. The former is getting its very first serving of Jelly Beans, bringing along a number of platform improvements such as Google Now, improved actionable notifications and Project Butter enhancements, making sure the device runs faster even…
After its own backyard and Hong Kong, South Korea’s Pantech is going to other places. The company is launching two of its phones, Vega Q and Vega No. 6, in Taiwan hinting us they are looking to expand to other places. And yes, we hope to see their products hitting the West. The first of…
AT&T has started rolling out Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for the Pantech Flex. Few owners of the everything-but-popular device will get to benefit from all the improvements and tweaks introduced in this software release, including Google Now, fancier and actionable push notifications, and Project Butter enhancements. According to AT&T’s blog post, Flex owners will…
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.…
