As expected, Verizon officially announced the Pantech Perception – a new mid-range smartphone powered by the Android mobile platform. It comes with decent hardware specs, reasonable price tag, and a perk that will surely impress your buddies at the office.
This fancy feature we're talking about is called Motion Sense – a way of controlling the Pantech Perception without touching its display. A wave of the user's hand above the screen answers calls, but contact-less gestures can also be used for scrolling through the contacts list, changing the song that's currently playing, or browsing through the gallery. Yeah, we know that it sounds like a gimmick few people would ever need, but when you think about it, this Motion Sense thing might be of use in case your hands are occupied.
