Pantech Flex Teased, Heading To AT&T With 4G LTE “In The Coming Months”

A new smartphone for AT&T has been teased by Pantech and it’s known as the Pantech Flex. Unfortunately, Pantech wouldn’t reveal anything more except that it’s headed to AT&T “in the coming months” with 4G LTE. There’s no word about anything else like what kind of phone it is or what version of Android it runs.

Judging by the most recent offerings by Pantech, it seems that they’re trying to establish a name themselves in the mid-range class by making phones with fairly high-end specs at a low price. Things like the Marauder and the Burst are good examples of their strategy. We don’t know whether the Flex will be another phone following that pattern or whether it will be something else but keep an eye on the site for more information as we get it.

When I think of Pantech, Huawei, Kyocero and others, I think "also ran." Those I know perceive these as lesser known brands of lesser quality. Not sure if that is true but is interesting to read about these companies. Here's highlights (excerpts taken from wikipedia):

 

Pantech is a South Korean company specializing in manufacturing mobile phones. Established in 1991, its market is mainly domestic, but Pantech also has interests in the USA, Japan, China, Europe. According to Gartner, in 2011 it was the third best-selling handset maker in South Korea, behind Samsung and LG, but ahead of Apple. (!!!!)

 

Huawei: Chinese multinational networking and telecommunications equipment and services company headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. It is the largest telecommunications equipment maker in the world, having overtaken Ericsson.

 

Kyocera is a multinational electronics and ceramics manufacturer based in Kyoto, Japan. It was founded as Kyoto Ceramic Co., Ltd. in 1959 ... and renamed in 1982. The company has diversified its founding technology in ceramic materials through internal development as well as strategic mergers and acquisitions. It manufactures industrial ceramics, solar power generating systems, telecommunications equipment, office document imaging equipment, electronic components, semiconductor packages, cutting tools, and components for medical and dental implant systems.
