New smartphones using FPC fingerprint technology launched by Pantech in Korea


During December and January, the three Pantech Android phone models IM-A900S, IM-A900K and IM-A900L, Vega Secret Up, will start to sell in operator stores all over Korea. These phones follow the successful launches of the popular finger sensor enabled smartphone Pantech Vega LTE-A and Vega Secret Note, launched earlier this year.

 "We have received very positive feed-back on the finger sensor and its associated secure applications in Pantech Vega LTE-A and Vega Secret Note and we are happy to deploy this important feature in more products. Our finger sensor enabled products are all compatible with the Korean payment service called Bartong," says Mr. Lee, leader of the Component Development Team of Pantech.

Thomas Rex, EVP Sales &Marketing of FPC, comments:
"The Korean market is one of the most advanced mobile markets. Pantech has become a pioneer in finger-sensor-enabled products with a wide product range and its related security and convenience applications, such as the Bartong payment service."
