New Pantech Concept Phones show Pantech’s vision of the future
Pantech, one of Korea's mobile phone companies that also ships its phones overseas, has revealed a few concept phones that show how its future phones might look.
Interestingly, the Korean mobile phone firms recruit top students to come up with designs for future phones in dedicated design teams sponsored by the companies. Pantech, for example, provides students with office space and cash to come up with new designs, some of which may actually be put into production. The best students also get the chance to work for the company once they've graduated.
Samsung and LG provide similar schemes, with Samsung's "Anycall Dreamers" team not needing any professional design knowledge, and LG's "Cyon Prosumers" recruiting designers through the Korean Cetizen mobile phone site. As a Cyon Prosumer, though, your job prospects aren't as good as they are at Pantech - you only get "bonus points" if you subsequently apply for a job!
That's not really displaying confidence in your future designers, is it LG?!
