14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean mobile phone maker Pantech is gearing up for the release of a new high-end handset, one that might land on shelves with the Snapdragon 805 processor packed inside, as a recent listing in AnTuTu shows.
The company has been rumored before to plan the release of such a device, but no proof of that has emerged until now. However, a certain Pantech IM-A888S has been spotted in the aforementioned benchmarking app powered by this processor.
According to the listing, the handset should land on shelves as a flagship model, packing a screen capable of delivering a 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution, and pairing the Snapdragon 805 CPU with 3GB of RAM.
The handset managed to score 36970 points in AnTuTu. As PhoneArena notes, considering the fact that this is still a prototype device, the score is a pretty good one.
The news site also notes that the new phone might arrive on the market as the successor of Pantech Vega LTE-A, which was launched with model number IM-A880S attached to it, provided that the handset vendor continues to use the same naming scheme as before.
No details on the release date of the new smartphone have been offered as of now, but chances are that it won’t go official for several months. Stay tuned for more on the matter.
