The Vega No.6 is powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU.
As expected, Pantech has announced the world's largest full HD smartphone: the 5.9-inch Vega No. 6.
The Vega's screen boasts a Natural IPS Pro LCD panel with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. At 5.9-inches, the device is the world's largest full HD smartphone. At 6.1-inches, Huawei's Ascend Mate holds the title of the device with the world's largest phone screen, but it's limited to 720p, as echoed in our hands-on CES impressions of the device.
As for the Vega No. 6, it's powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU accompanied by an Adreno 320 GPU, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of on-board storage and MicroSDXC support for expanding the memory up to 2 TB. It'll run on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean with Flux UX.
A 13-megapixel rear-facing camera is also on board, as is a front-facing 2-megapixel lens, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, GPS, T-DMB (a mobile television service for South Korean consumers), USB 2.0 and a 3,140 mAh battery. Elsewhere, the Vega No. 6 houses an accelerometer, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, gyroscope and electronic compass.
The Vega No. 6 will launch in Korea next month for 849,000 won, which is around $795. Expect a global variant unveiling during the Mobile World Congress in late February.
Eventually you won't even be able to hold them with one hand....

All is good but I think:
-too big
-too expensive
Also, how's battery life?
Biggest full HD.
As stated in the article, Huawei Ascend Mate is 6.1 but only 720p, that's just HD not full HD.
Eventually they we will have a 5 inch phone, that will fold open to the internal 9 inch tablet screen.
Would a car manufacturer advertise on "the heavyest family car of the wold" or "this car has the biggest Dashboard buttons ever" ?
gah! i included myself in that one
If they made a car and advertised it as "Gas Guzzler of the Millenium! An amazing 0.8 mpg, 300 gal gas tank with optional 200 gal reserve tank."
I'm glad the industry is still pushing the envelope on size.
much more likely to have a 5" phone that can wirelessly dock to a larger display and be used as a desktop.
If the days of the flip phone and slide out keyboards taught us anything it is that movable and fold-able parts do not belong on fragile portable equipment.
@article
6" is a bit big for me personally, but if you can get an OS on there that can do real multi-tasking then I would much rather have an oversized phone that (barely) fits in my pocket than any kind of tablet or laptop. Even my Lumia 920 has replaced my laptop for almost everything. The only time I need it anymore is if I am going to be out of town and do not want to haul my desktop along for the ride.
For a phone I don't think they'll ever really get too big. At least not for me see I like it wonder microphone I'm talking into his right by my mouth and if I want the speaker in my ear that would make the phone need to be about 6 to 7 inches long. This 5.9 is a diagonal dimension, it doesn't translate how long I want the phone to be an ace still think it's too short. What I want is a phone that's maybe a 4 inch clamshell but comes out to 8 inches money taken out. It has a top and bottom screen them both whom are big enough to equal any one cell phone from four years ago. And I want them to be sicker I don't like cell phones as they stand now because if your complete a credit card up to my head. I wanted to be some bulk that I can grab onto, to feel in my palm I don't want to just have two or three fingers holding it.
Granted bigger can be better but it depends on what you are gonna use it for. If you rarely use it as a cell phone then yes bigger screen is better. Just expect to use bluetooth if you find it awkward holding 6" or bigger phone up against your face.
