It goes without saying that unreleased devices will need to pick up their fair share of certification before they are able to be released for the general masses. Well, it was not too long ago that the Pantech IM-A890S was seen on the Bluetooth Certification database, where it also revealed then that this particular device looks set to be the world’s first LTE-Advanced device with fingerprint recognition capability. Good things come in more than one I suppose, as there seems to be a different variant which has picked up Bluetooth Certification, too, and that would come in the form of the Pantech IM-A890K.
This would mean that the Pantech IM-A890K would arrive with Bluetooth connectivity for sure, and yet again, the very same “signature” surfaces, that is, the Pantech IM-A890K will feature fingerprint recognition capability, as well as being an LTE-Advanced device. I suppose with this in mind, anticipation runs rather high that a different variant known as the Pantech IM-A890L is also tipped to be on the receiving end of Bluetooth Certification sometime down the road. How far do you think that fingerprint recognition capability is going to go in the realm of smartphones, and will its potential be maximized eventually?

Pantech IM-A890 has seen some leaks in the past few weeks, where many have suspected this to be a successor to the Pantech Vega LTE-A, considering how the South Korean inspired Pantech Vega LTE-A carried the model number IM-A880. Well, the Bluetooth database did reveal that the Pantech IM-A890S has already received its nod of approval and was listed on September 11th, and in this particular database listing, some more details that would interest the masses were revealed.
I have always maintained the fact that each smartphone manufacturer would do well to roll out a flagship model in order to maintain one’s pride in the industry. After all, they do it with cars and other kinds of purchases, so why not do the same with smartphones? Smartphones are something that we carry with us wherever we go, so if you have something that is of the high end side of things, then it would definitely be worth taking out from your pocket to make full use of it. LG has their LG G2, and Pantech, one of LG’s domestic rivals in South Korea, too wants to release a flagship device that they call the Pantech Vega LTE-A – where it will sport a power button and touchpad on the back, taking a different design cues from its contemporaries.
