if you're really looking for a new smartphone that's gonna help keep you on your budget you don't want to sacrifice any high-end features and I highly recommend taking a look at the pantech discover 480 I'm Jessica Dahl court from CNET and I'm gonna walk you through this phone now the discover has just about everything you're gonna want of course it's got 4G LTE also runs Android unfortunately it's only Android 4.0 at this stage but they are looking to upgrade it's got a really big HD screen 4.8 inches and that's 720p HD it also has a dual core processor on here and a twelve point six megapixel camera now I know that a large camera megapixel size doesn't always necessarily translate into good photos but in this case so far I was pretty pleased with the pictures that I got outside in the light the body of the phone is also really nice this is something pantech usually does really well there are these crazy 3d speakers on the side and they kind of remind me of ears for the phone one thing I like about them other than the fact that they seem to work pretty well with sound is also that it gives the phone sort of a unique look and feel and I can always identify the phone in my purse by reaching my hand in and feeling those speakers on the side I also think that it looks kind of cool the design of the phone is also really nice you still kind of have a slab form here and it's still black but there's this nice kind of textured soft touch finish on the back that is a little bit unique and the shape of the phone and some of the accents make it a little bit different still definitely looks like a pantech phone now on the software side it is Android 4.0 as I mentioned but pantech has added a couple of its own extra features so it's got a little bit of a different menu system it also has this thing it calls easy experience that it has on couple other phones too the easy experience as it's called also gives you a much more simplified interface for using your phone now in order to take advantage of the speaker's there are a few extra music apps on here like MOG and it also comes with 18 T's Drive app which will turn on and help keep you from texting while you drive the feature said on the pantech discover is an absolutely top-notch doesn't have the quad processor doesn't have the full 1080p HD screen however for what it does have you're only asked to pay $50 with the new two-year service agreement that makes the pantech discover one of the highest value smartphones that you can get on the market and that's something that pantech does time and again done very very well with CNET I'm Jessica's all-court you can check out this full review and all other reviews at cnet.com
