The Panasonic T40 has joined the ranks of phones attempting to make it big in the low-end segment in India and comes with a price of Rs 5990 only. As is the usual case with handsets pegged below the Rs 7000 line unless you’re talking about the Redmi 1S, there’s little to endear us to the new T series device.
The specifications it offers are so standard for a smartphone of its ilk, we could guess most of the highlights without even looking at them once. You get Android 4.4.2 with the Panasonic T40 because the company has no excuse to sell it without KitKat seeing as cheaper options arrive with this version of Google’s mobile OS.
Plastered across the Panasonic T40’s front is a 4-inch touchscreen spewing out visuals in 800 x 480p. There’s a 1.3GHz quad core chip which most definitely originates from the savior of low-end to mid-range phones, MediaTek. Continuing to color us unimpressed is 1GB of RAM that can be found under the hood along with 8GB ROM and 32GB memory expandability.

Since there’s little else to talk about with regards to the features of the Panasonic T40, you’d be better off running quickly through the list we’ve jotted down. Why do companies bother selling such inexpensive devices that are hardly distinguishable from rivals? People are obviously buying them seeing as most of India’s mobile users have yet to migrate to smartphones.
