Pantech Vega Iron brings a 5-inch 'zero bezel' display, where zero equals 2.4mm

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Pantech Vega Iron brings 1080p on a 5inch display with indisputably thin bezels" data-src-height="337" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/pantech-lead2.jpg" /></div>We've got to admit that we saw some rumors about a "zero bezel" Pantech a few days ago, but ignored them because we had no idea what that meant. Now we do, however, as Pantech has made the 5-inch <strike>1080p</strike> 720p phone official, under the solid-sounding name of the Vega Iron.  The bezels aren't quite zero, but they are small: just 2.4mm across on  each side, which -- for reference -- is roughly half the width on an iPhone 5.  This results in a viewable-to-total area ratio of 75.5 percent, which  Pantech claims is a world beater. Other specs include a quad-core 1.7GHz  Snapdragon 600 processor, in-cell LCD display and Gigabit WiFi. We have  no idea if Pantech has penciled the United States into the Vega Iron's  release schedule, but the company is certainly trying to make an impression in this hemisphere and a phone like this couldn't hurt.<br /> <strong>Update:</strong> The rumors were right about everything except the resolution, which now  looks to be 720p rather than the big ten-eighty.
