We first heard murmurings of the Pantech Perception smartphone way back in January, a 4G LTE handset headed to Verizon. Now we have tentative news of a release date as proposed by leaked information and it appears April 25 could be the big day for Big Red.
We’ve already seen a leaked image of the Pantech Perception as well as rumored specs but although a Q1 release was initially expected, Q1 came and went with no sign of the Perception. Now though we hear this mid-range phone is set for April 25 according to well known source evleaks.
This phone hasn’t even been formally announced yet, let alone a release date set, but evleaks has been a reliable source of information on previous occasions and so this could well be accurate. Specs rumored for the Pantech Perception include a 1.5 Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor and 4G LTE connectivity.
The display size hasn’t yet been detailed but is believed to have a resolution of 1280 x 720 and could be 4.8-inches while other claimed specs include 1GB of RAM. Please note that the image above is the earlier leaked image of the Pantech Perception and has not been validated as accurate. Of course if we hear more on the Pantech Perception we’ll keep you informed.We’d like to hear your views on the Pantech Perception. Are you a Verizon customer waiting for its release,Maybe you think the Perception doesn’t stand out much against other handsets on the market or just about to release.
The Pantech smartphone with HD was first released on AT&T and that was called the discover and this came with very decent specs indeed with a price tag of $49.99 on the normal two-year contract. Today we can report that the new Pantech Perception for Verizon just got photographed and new documents were found on FCC, and this is great considering Verizon have not yet announced this smartphone.
In an earlier report we said that the Verizon Pantech HD 4G Perception was not too shabby with its specs, so it is great to hear that this handset has been tested by the FCC as well as a few photos of the device means it is getting closer for release. Ok the handset was not switched on and only the boring images above are available but it is a start in the right direction if you want an affordable Smartphone on Verizon.
You will notice that the Pantech Perception photos above does not show the Verizon branding, but this will happen just before release there is no doubting that.
The Pantech Perception for Verizon will feature specs such as a 4.8-inch HD touchscreen display, 1.5GHz Qualcomm dual core Snapdragon S4 processor, resolution of 1196 x 720, 1GB of RAM, Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich OS but we are hoping that this is incorrect and it comes running the Jelly Bean flavour.
The Pantech Perception for Verizon will possibly be released in the first quarter, unless they are waiting to announce it at MWC 2013, personally there is no point revealing it at this event as the phone is not ground-breaking in anyway shape or form.
