Pantech User Manual for Flex (P8010)
The Pantech P8010 came to market in September 2012. With a Super AMOLED Advanced capacitive touchscreen with 16Million colors it was a very popular phone in South East Asia. It runs on the Android 
OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) which is upgradable to v4.1.2 (Jelly Bean). It is also powered by the well known Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon chipset and a Dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor.
Like most mobile phones at the time it came with a Adreno 225 GPU which is still common in many mobile phone today. With 8GB of internal memory and dual cameras’ 8Megapixel rear and 2Megapixel front it was what made it a good sell. 3 years ago these type of phones were not as common. Video on the phone was also very good running at 1080p@30fps.
The Pantech 8010 also came with EDGE as well as coverage for 2G, 3G and 4G bands. There is also GPS on the phone but for some odd reason no radio was built into the mobile phone. The phone does however come with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n dual-band. Still a good phone today with a good battery life of more than 400 hours of standby time and 10 hours of talk time.
