Panasonic P51 launched in India

Panasonic has re-entered India's smartphone market with its dual sim P51, and is eyeing an 8 percent share of the smartphone market within India, in the first year alone.

According to a press release, the Panasonic P51 is priced at 26,990 rupees (US$492.70) and has a 1.2 GHz quad core processor and a 5-inch screen, with an In-Plane Switching (IPS) display of 1280 x 720 pixel resolution and 295 pixels per inch (PPI) pixel density. The touchscreen itself is a Asahi DragonTrail scratchproof and damage-proof glass for added durability.

The dual SIM Panasonic P51 runs on the Google Android 4.2 Jellybean OS with 1 GB of RAM and 4 GB onboard storage, with microSD support up to 32 GB. As expected, it has both Wi-Fi and BlueTooth connectivity, along with microUSB. I am a little surprised that there is no support for 4G, for now at least.

The rear camera is a 8 MP autofocus camera with LED flash, and front camera is a 1.3 MP HD camera. The Panasonic P51 also comes with a free magnetic flip cover and supports input via astylus pen. This phone measures just 8.5mm in width, weighs 135 grams and will be available in both black and white.
