Want mobile security? You got it. Pantech today is launching the Vega Secret Note, a new mobile device that comes with a unique feature that will delight those who want to keep their mobile data private.
A fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone serves dual purposes, not just unlocking the handset’s lock screen but also “revealing a hidden set of data (http://androidcommunity.com/pantech-vega-secret-note-goes-official-touts-privacy-features-20131010/),” including phonebook entries, photos, or music you’d like to keep private if, say, you are letting someone else borrow your device to make a call or send an email. If you’re in the habit of amusing children with Android games on your mobile device, the ability to prevent them from sending wayward emails to your boss by hiding his address book entry behind this secondary security layer may be a godsend.
The Pantech Vega Secret Note is part of the growing phablet space, standing in the gray area between smartphones and tablets alongside devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note series. The Secret Note is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon (http://www.pcworld.com/partner/qualcomm/home/) 800 CPU, includes 3GB of RAM, and has 32GB of integrated storage, with microSD card expansion available if you need extra space.
Dual cameras offer a whopping 13 megapixels of resolution on the rear-facing lens and 2 megapixels up front. The screen measures 5.9 inches diagonally and offers 1080p resolution across its 1920 x 1080 pixels of resolution. Finally, a capacitive stylus (again, like the Galaxy Note line) called the V Pen (http://www.gizbot.com/mobile/pantech-vega-secret-note-announced-featuring-snapdragon-800-soc-news-014079.html) is included for users who want finer control over the details in drawings or more accurate handwriting recognition. A 3200mAh battery promises extensive running time, and the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system is preinstalled.
