Pantech shows off latest round of concept phones

Pantech has a rich and storied history of showing off concept handsets from time to time, many of which don't look totally unreasonable for production. The latest batch, produced in cooperation with the company's 20-strong team of college design students, includes three totally reasonable phones that we'd like (nay, expect) to see serving SKT and KTF customers in the not-too-distant future, and one totally off-the-wall oddball -- aptly named "Softy Lofty" -- that was clearly mocked up while its designer was involved with some illicit substances. At any rate, we'll take all four with a helping of global LTE, please. [Warning: subscription required]

Can't see the other designs, but the one shown above is both cool and pointless.

This is the nice stuff that should be hitting this side of the Pacific. Instead they have cheap stuff and one QWERTY smartphone that don't look nearly as nice as their Korean stuff.
