The Android-powered Panasonic Eluga Power price and availability details have been revealed by Clove. While the Eluga operated on the Gingerbread OS at the time of launch, this handset now rakes in the goodness of the Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
A Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor clocking in at 1.5GHz is exploited for all the operations of the device. Sporting a 5-inch HD LCD screen with 1280 × 720p resolution, the phone arrives with support for NFC technology too. This offering boasts of a 9.6mm chassis and comes across as a sleek device that can be ported around with ease. Moreover, the smartphone enables fast charging of the battery. In a span of 30 minutes, the 1800mAh battery is expected to be juiced up to 50% of its capacity.
Toshiya Matsumura, General Manager, Head of Mobile Communications, Panasonic System Communications Europe, commented at the time of launch, “The Eluga power is a real landmark for us as it redefines everything a modern smartphone should be. For too long, smartphones have either compromised on looks to embrace new features or dropped functionality in the pursuit of the perfect form.”
“The Eluga Power marks a true turning point – delivering both high performance and high-end style. In developing the Eluga Power, we refused to compromise and remained ambitious. That’s how we’ve managed to deliver the convenience of a 5-inch HD screen and superfast charging, make it water and dustproof, as well as add impressive features like NFC and a 1.5GHz processor. All in a slim, pocket-friendly and stylish smartphone,” added Matsumura.
Photography enthusiasts can look forward to the 8MP main camera with autofocus and 1080p full HD video recording sported by the Panasonic Eluga Power. It also supports a snapper on the front panel for video conferencing. The 8GB internal memory offered by the gadget is expandable up to 32GB via a microSD slot provided for the same. As an added advantage, this slim entrant is touted to be both and dust- and water-proof.
As mentioned above, the Panasonic Eluga Power price and availability details have been disclosed by Clove. The handset is up for pre-order on the official Clove website. It is expected to carry a price tag of £478.80 inclusive of VAT and it will hit stores by the end of April.
