Pantech Vega Iron 2 is an amazing Android phone, which counts with a 2.3 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, a 5.3 inches display, and two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 2.1 mega-pixels front side camera. Let's take a closer view of what this device can do.

The Pantech Vega Iron 2 is slim and stilized, being just 0.31" thick. This cellphone is a compact device, given that it features a 5.3" display and it's only 5.68" long and 2.89" wide. Pantech sells this cellphone in two colors: black and white. Pantech made a very good optimization job making the Pantech Vega Iron 2 weight just 5.36 oz. About its design, the Pantech Vega Iron 2 is built with Metal.

Pantech decided to power this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chip, backed up by a very fast 2300 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit and a large 3 GB of RAM memory. Collaborating with graphic calculations, it also has an Adreno 420 graphic processing unit speeding at 500 megahertz. This cellphone has an excellent 32 GB internal memory and an SD extension slot, which allows the user to install hundreds of apps without worrying about how much memory is left.

This device is equipped with a great 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) 5.3" screen, which makes it impossible to even distinguish the pixels composing the screen. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

The Pantech Vega Iron 2 is equipped with two cameras, a 13 MP back side camera and a 2.1 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting 4K 3840x2160 videos. Additionally, the camera features a high number of interesting characteristics like flash, auto-focus, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, optical image stabilization and geo tagging.

The Pantech Vega Iron 2 comes with a big capacity 3220 mAh battery that provides this device a marvelous battery duration. Pantech says this phone has a 703 hours stand by time and a 22 hours talk time.

The Pantech Vega Iron 2 offers wifi connection (although it can't be shared with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE-A (4G) , the fastest internet connection and fast 3G data connection, supported by HSPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This device doesn't have a sim card, because it is not a GSM cellphone.

The Pantech Vega Iron 2 also includes a couple of nice features as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your device close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Pantech Vega Iron 2 is very overpriced considering it is sold for 249 dollars, while some similar cellphones are being sold much cheaper than that. No matter if you are a photography fan, want a cellphone to play tons of games, want a work phone or will use this cellphone mainly for internet broswing and social networks, this device is definitely very appropiate for you.
