Pantech Magnus P9090 Leaked

The folks at @evleaks have done it yet again, where they have tweeted a new press rendering of what could very well be the Pantech Magnus P9090, which is touted for AT&T, one of the big four mobile carriers in the US. The Pantech Magnus P9090 might sound familiar to you, and this should not come across as any surprise since this is not the first time that it was revealed to the masses. Back in August, a leak of the Pantech Magnus P9090 already made its rounds around the Internet, where it was also whispered to come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich right out of the box. I guess @evleaks’ latest efforts do seem to point towards Ice Cream Sandwich as the default operating system, although there is still some hope for it to come with the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in due time.

Sporting a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 processor, the rear end of the cover comes with a tiny bump that does seem to remind us of the HTC Droid Incredible range that Verizon Wireless offers. No idea on when the Pantech Magnus P9090 will finally hit the market, and for how much, but at the very least we have an idea of what it looks like.

AT&T Pantech Magnus P9090 reappears after summer break

A blast from the recent past, Pantech’s Magnus has leaked again — this time with the screen switched on. We’ve already gleaned that a 8-megapixel, quad-band LTE, MSM8960 dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor and NFC are all part of the AT&T-bound package, while those onscreen buttons suggest Android 4.0 — at the least. While the Twitter-based evleaks decided to obscure the calendar widget (and the probable launch date), we doubt it’ll much longer before AT&T offers a full explanation.

Pantech Magnus gets pictured

A few days ago we reported that thanks to benchmark sightings, additional details about the Pantech Magnus was revealed. Thanks to one of Engadget’s sources, if you were curious about what the AT&T bound handset will look like, the photo above should give you a better idea. For starters, if anything, the image above confirms some of the earlier rumored specs, such as its 8MP rear-facing camera and the fact that it will be headed for AT&T.

For those who don’t remember, the Pantech Magnus is expected to sport a 720p display, LTE connectivity, a Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon S4 processor and it will most likely run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, although we will be pleasantly surprised if it came with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean instead. Still no word on when it will be released or how much it will cost, but if you like what you see so far, check back with us at a later date where (hopefully) additional details will be available.

Pantech has been steadily building its relationship with AT&T over the past few years by supplying the carrier with a healthy dose of budget-friendly handsets. Could it be that the OEM has finally earned the opportunity to add a higher-end device to the GSM giant’s lineup? It may very well be the case with the P9090, aka the Magnus. Our source has hooked us up with the first images of the smartphone, which confirms an 8MP camera with LED flash, front-facing cam and at least Ice Cream Sandwich (if not Jelly Bean). While the image doesn’t reveal any other specs, we’re expecting to see a 720p display, LTE connectivity and a Qualcomm MSM8960 dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor. We’re still not sure what to think about the bumpy design on its back, though it does remind us a little bit of what Verizon has done on the HTC Incredible series. The specs may be quite similar to the Vega Racer 2, though the phone itself doesn’t look anywhere close to the manufacturer’s Korean flagship. AT&T still hasn’t announced the Magnus, but we’ll let you know pricing and availability as soon as we have it.

[Thanks, Anonymous!]

Pantech P9090 “Magnus” spotted in benchmarks, looks quite promising

It seems that earlier this month, a certain handset from Pantech with the model number P9090 hit the FCC. Given the moniker “Magnus”, benchmark sightings of the device have revealed more than just its name and possible specs. For starters if and when the device launches, users can look forward to a smartphone with a 720×1196 display resolution, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor powered by Qualcomm’s MSM8960 and will sport an Adreno 225 GPU. While it was not explicitly stated, it is probably safe to assume that it will run at the very least Android 4.x. Its previous FCC sighting has also revealed AT&T radio bands on board and this benchmark goes on to prove it. No word on when we might be seeing the Pantech P9090 Magnus arrive on AT&T, but it certainly sounds like it could be quite a promising device. Either way stay tuned as we will be keeping our eyes peeled, so check back with us at a later date where (hopefully) we will have more details for you.

Despite cranking out plenty of high-end devices in Asia, Pantech has built itself a reputation in the US as a budget OEM — but continues to improve its products regardless. Having already proven its ability to crank out LTE phones on the cheap with the Burst, it appears ready to follow up with another phone on AT&T’s next-gen network, as evidenced by documents released by the FCC this afternoon. This particular handset, dubbed the Magnus on its WiFi certification paperwork, sports quad-band LTE (700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900), a radio combo that’s starting to be quite the trend for AT&T-bound phones recently — likely done to ensure the GSM carrier’s refarming efforts go as smoothly as possible. The federal docs also reveal the presence of NFC (suggesting this will come with Android 4.x included), and Bluetooth certification tells us we can also expect it to offer the 4.0 standard. The paperwork is fuzzy on more details, but we hope its arrival is just around the corner.
