Pantech launches new Android smartphone with FPC fingerprint technology embedded in Korea

The Pantech Android flagship smartphone model Vega LTE-A IM-A880S recently
started to sell in operator stores all over Korea. It is Pantech’s first launch
of a smartphone with finger sensor, and Fingerprint Cards’ (FPC’s) first launch
on the Korean mobile phone market.
“Finger sensors and their associated secure applications are becoming much
demanded features on modern smartphones. Pantech will deploy this important
feature on several smartphones in the future and we are happy to cooperate with
FPC in this deployment,” says Mr. Lee, leader of the Component Development Team
of Pantech.

Johan Carlström, President and Chief Executive Officer of FPC, comments:
“The Korean market is one of the most advanced mobile markets. I want to
congratulate Pantech for being the first Korean manufacturer to launch an
Android smartphone with finger sensors and related security and convenience
applications. This launch is another major milestone for FPC and evidence of
FPC’s world-leading position as supplier of capacitive fingerprint technology,
with highest quality, best image quality and lowest power consumption. We expect
multiple launches in Korea and other parts of Asia during the rest of 2013 and
beyond.”
