Rediscover Pantech
If you haven't paid much attention to Pantech before, you're not alone. Yet the Discover offers a lot of very compelling reasons to consider.
First, there's the price: just $50 with a two-year agreement. Then there are the specs, which fall into the middle-high end of the range. Finally, there's the subtly unique design. To top it off, the phone exhibits very few flaws.
Easy-peasy mode
Pantech's "easy experience" lives up to its name, reducing multiple home screens and menus to just one. It's a good choice for people who prefer a more basic interface, or who want some smartphone training wheels.
Curves in all the right place
Most smartphones today are as uniformly thin as can be. The Discover, however, has two bumps on its back that fit the hand well.
Speaker up
Have you heard of a smartphone with ears? The Discover's 3D surround-sound speakers pump out tunes and more.
A closer look
Equalizer settings in the music player app help you adjust the tones.
Cameras
The Pantech Discover has a -- wait for it -- 12.6-megapixel camera with flash and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Not bad for $50! And the cameras are serviceable as well.
Camera action
The Discover's camera produced satisfactory photos overall.
Little details
Small details like a lightly grooved power button and a textured soft-touch finish work in the phone's favor.
