Pantech Vega S5 announced

Posted in: Today's Chili

Pantech Vega S5While there aren’t too many “large” phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note or LG Optimus Vu on the market today, it looks like we’ll be seeing one more soon. Also from a Korean company, Pantech, it’s called the Vega S5. It features a 720p 5″ display and packs a Qualcomm dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and a 13-megapixel rear camera. It’s bezel is also supposed to be the thinnest available out there. The phone packs a 2,100mAh battery with a touted 11-hours of talk time.

However, it looks like those of you not living in South Korea will be able to get your hands on the phone. Apparently Pantech will only be releasing the phone in its home country as an exclusive project with SK Telecom. If we do see it outside of South Korea, it’ll probably be rebranded as a different device. The Pantech Vega S5 will go up for pre-order for about $800 on July 4.

Pantech Vega S5 does Android 40 on a 5inch LCD, facemask not included

The 4.5-inch Vega LTE is not eight months old and the 4.8-inch Vega Racer 2 is still properly wet behind the years. But, the flow of progress abides by no calendars, so welcome the Pantech Vega S5 to the world. It steps up to a full 5-inch IPS LCD with a 720p resolution in a phone that, thanks to a “zero bezel” design, actually has a smaller footprint than the Samsung Galaxy S III. There’s a whopping 13 megapixel shooter in there with zero lag, a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 16GB of internal storage and a 2,100 mAh battery that’s said to deliver 11 hours of talk time. If that sounds like a good combination indeed it could be, but don’t spend too much pining — this handset is destined only for Korean shores.
