Pantech and AT&T have announced a previously rumored 4.8-inch Android smartphone at CES 2013 in the form of the 'Discover'.
The 4.8-inch 720p HD display is accompanied by a 12.6-megapixel camera, as well as 4G LTE compatibility. It's powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Pro processor.
Other features include NFC (near-field communication) and a 2,100 mAH battery to support the screen. Pantech incorporated its Easy Mode into the smartphone, which simplifies the Android home screen layout via large, pre-installed icons.
AT&T is also integrating its own mark in the device via its DiveMode app, which helps users from texting and crashing. It'll be the first handset to receive the U.S. carrier's service in question.
The Discover, which will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, costs $49.99 with a new two-year contract with AT&T. It'll be available on January 11.
