Pantech unveils new smartphone Vega Secret Up
Pantech will roll out its new smartphone Vega Secret Up, featuring enhanced audio quality and privacy protection, next Tuesday.
Prior to its release at a press meeting held in Seoul on Thursday, the phone maker released details of the new device, including an internal speaker with high sound quality by expanding the sound range and preventing unwanted noise and fingerprint recognition sensors.
“The new Vega Secret Note and Vega Secret Up will help Pantech to regain its status as a major smartphone company,” said Park Chang-jin, marketing executive at Pantech.
The smartphone will feature an oscillating speaker, enabling users to enjoy music in a large space without the need for other audio devices.
Users can expect a reinforced version of “Secret Blind” enhanced with a fingerprint recognition sensor that protects personal information. Users will be able to hide their screens from unwanted eyes in crowded situations such as in buses or elevators. By switching to secret mode, financial information can be directly accessed without further verification.
The new phone will also provide a multi-window view that allows users to process two applications in a single screen.
The Vega Secret Up will be available in silky white or Irish black through the nation’s main mobile carriers and will run on the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system.
