This is the Pantech Perception for Verizon.
It is a mid-level Android device, but it's still pumped up with some pretty good specks.
It's got a 4.8-inch super AMOLED display.
It's pretty large, looks really nice.
It's running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and it does have a little bit of Pantech skinning.
There's an 8-megapixel camera on the back with auto-focus and flash, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
The rear camera also captures
1080p HD video.
I thought overall, the camera quality was passable, but it is not equal to the high-end cameras that you see on the market today.
Similarly, the phone does have 4G LTE, which usually is blazing fast on Verizon, but for some reason, seems a little bit slower on this phone.
Inside, there's a 1.5 gigaHertz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor.
And I would say that overall, the phone's design is really nice.
Pantech pays attention to detail.
So, even if the phones don't cost a whole lot, they sure look
good.
Overall, I think this is a nice choice for somebody who's looking for a phone in the middle.
You're not gonna get the excellent camera quality that you might expect, but things work.
