Pantech Vega Iron Android smartphone unboxing hands-on full review

If you are interested in smartphone, you probably know the Korean manufacturers like Samsung and LG companies. However, you might have not heard about another great South Korean smartphone manufacturer called Pantech. Pantech focuses on its domestic market in Korea so many international buyers might not be familiar with its name. Founded in 1991, Pantech has been producing great cellphones for two decades. You will be surprised to hear that Pantech is actually selling more Android smartphones than LG in Korea now. Pantech smartphones' quality is very great. Their specs are almost same as Samsung's newest smartphones but their prices are sometimes much cheaper. You can get a very great smartphone for a much greater price.


I finally got a Pantech Vega Iron from an online cellphone dealership site called ppomppu. The box of the Vega Iron looks very sleek and luxurious. There are two colors you can choose. Black and white. As you can see, this one is a black Vega Iron.


This is the first look of the Pantech Vega Iron. As you can guess from its name IRON, its edge is made of metal. It makes it look very cool.


This is what you get from the package when you open the box. There are two batteries , earphones , screen protector film , charger and a USB cable.


The Vega Iron has a 5.0 inch High Bright In-cell display. The screen is very clear and bright. Yes, it is an HD display. The resolution is fantastic. You will be surprised when you actually see the screen.


As you can see from the green button at the bottom left, this is a VoLTE phone. VoLTE means Voice over LTE. You can enjoy HD voice calls over this Pantech smartphone.


The Pantech Vega Iron has Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on it. Pantech says it will upgrade it to Android 4.2 or 4.3 .


This is a free screen protector film that you get for free when you buy a Vega Iron. You don't have to waste extra money if you buy this smartphone.

So far, I have been amazed by this smartphone. The battery last fairly long. The 13 million pixel camera can also take great pictures. 

If you live in Korea, I would definitely recommend this Vega Iron.



I tested the Vega Iron using an Android app called Antutu Benchmark. As you can see, my Vega Iron got a higher score than the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 2. This result is very amazing. This Vega Iron smartphone is definitely a superphone. You can get a smartphone that is faster and better than the Galaxy S4 for a much better price. I can definitely recommend a Vega Iron to anyone who lives in Korea.
