No, this is not a deleted scene or an abandoned set from a science fiction movie. But you’re not far off.

Few phones can take advantage of South Korea’s freshly-launched LTE-Advanced networks, but Pantech’s just given speed demons a new option: the Vega LTE-A. Though full details haven’t trickled out from overseas just yet, the available specs paint an impressive picture. A 5.6-inch full HD display graces the front of the handset while a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor helps the device run Android 4.2.2. What’s more, it’s toting an area for fingerprint recognition on its back. Come mid-August, folks in the hardware maker’s homeland will be able to pick up the handset for use on SK Telecom’s network. If the LTE-A variant of the Galaxy S 4 doesn’t strike your fancy, Pantech’s newest piece of kit might just be worth a look.

It’s been such a mighty, mighty long time since the Vega No. 5 came out to tug on the Dell Streak 5‘s coattails, but Pantech has just announced the next installment in its phablet series: the 5.9-inch Vega No. 6. The Android 4.1 handset opts for an IPS LCD display, alongside a 13-megapixel rear camera capable of 1080p30 video and a hefty 2-megapixel front-facer. The battery is pretty big too at 3,150mAh, and it’s powering a Snapdragon S4 Pro, which means the only thing we’re missing right now is some concrete release info — the official announcement has so far been entirely Korea-centric.

This is getting ridiculous, as phablets continue to upward trend in screen sizes. Well, the Pantech Vega IM-A860 that boasted of Full HD resolution which was bandied about in rumors recently does seem to be shaping up to be very real, meaning you might want to ditch that pinch of salt for now. Apparently, the very same handset which was circulating around in rumors does seem to be headed to South Korea from next month onwards as the Pantech Vega No.6. Talk about an extremely simple naming scheme! Makes us wonder what happened to Vega No. 1 to No. 5 in the realm of mainstream consciousness.
Basically, the Pantech Vega IM-A860 looks set to carry a 5.9″ display at 1920 x 1080 resolution, making it the largest Full HD smartphone/phablet at this point in time, but we are quite sure that it will be superseded in no time. Underneath the hood lies a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with an Adreno 320 GPU, 2GB RAM, a 13-megapixel camera and LTE connectivity, with the likelihood of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean running the show.
