Pantech Breakout Reviews
CNET "If you don't give a whit about the camera or video, the Pantech Breakout is a fast and straightforward Android handset for Verizon."
Engadget "The Pantech Breakout is the fifth phone in Verizon's LTE lineup, and the first clear departure from the piggy bank-busting prices that its predecessors command."
Phone Dog "Who says Verizon's 4G LTE has to be expensive? There are plenty of users out there that don't need dual-core processing power, giant displays, or high-end cameras. For those people, the Pantech Breakout is here."
Geek "Now that Verizon’s LTE network is starting to cover the US map a little more, it’s time to attract an audience other than the early adopter. With that in mind, Verizon and Pantech have teemed up to release the first budget oriented LTE device, the Breakout."
Android Central "Pantech has brought a nice entry level LTE device to Verizon's network, and while it isn't for everyone it does appeal to those who want the LTE power, but not to have the price tag of the high end devices."
Android And Me "Other than incredible data speeds, the one thing that has been common to all 4G LTE devices released on Verizon thus far has been an inflated price tag. The recently released Pantech Breakout finally bucks that trend by delivering a 4G LTE handset for just $99 on contract."
Android Community "Welcome to the most affordably priced 4G LTE device to be released on Verizon yet, a device made by Pantech to not only give customers a choice of a cheaply priced bit of access to the highest speed network in the USA, but a reinforcement of their still tiny Android-based representation here in the United States."
Gotta Be Mobile "The Pantech Breakout is Verizon’s answer to the critics who complain that 4G LTE devices are too expensive."
PCMag "If you're looking to tap into Verizon's blazing fast 4G LTE network on a budget, the Pantech Breakout is your best option, although it's strictly a midrange smartphone."
Slash Gear "Are you ready to breakout from the norm and try a new smartphone by Pantech offering 4G LTE for a low price? If so you’ll want to check out the Pantech Breakout."
Tech Radar "The Pantech Breakout is a budget device through and through. The first time you hold one, you'll notice its grippy plastic and matte finish."
Phone Arena "For those of you keeping count, the Pantech Breakout is now the fifth Android smartphone to be released by Verizon Wireless that runs on the carrier’s 4G LTE data network."
