AT&T’s Pantech Discover smartphoneAT&T introduced the Discover smartphone on Monday at the International Consumer Electronics Show. The phone, built by Pantech, will cost $49 with contract when it goes on sale Jan. 11. Pantech may not be looked upon as a Samsung or Apple when it comes to handsets, but the AT&T Discover may help change the perception that the company makes only low-end smartphones.
Case in point: The low-priced Discover uses a large, 4.8-inch 1280 x 720 display and fast 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon Pro chip. The Discover runs Android 4.0, includes an NFC radio and works on AT&T’s LTE mobile broadband network. The 12.6 megapixel rear camera records full 1080p video and the phone has dual speakers with “3D surround sound.”
AT&T’s DriveMode software is featured on the Discover: The app can diable text messages once the phone detects it’s in a vehicle moving 25 mph or faster. Users can customize DriveMode to send auto-replies for texts, emails and calls in this scenario.
