Connectivity features include a dual-SIM card slot that's compatible with 4G networks, Wi-Fi b/g/n, FM Radio, GPS, and microUSB v2.0 port.
The Eluga Turbo comes pre-installed with Android 5.1 Lollipop, but the company hasn't mentioned anything about releasing Android 6.0 Marshmallow based software for the device yet. It is powered by a 64-bit octa-core processor, but the make and model number of the chipset hasn't been revealed yet. There's 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and a microSD card slot.
Panasonic's latest launch faces touch competition from devices such as the LeEco Le 1s, Coolpad Note 3, and Lenovo K4 Note. All these competing smartphones feature fingerprint sensors, something that is lacking in the Eluga Turbo. What do you think about Panasonic's brand value, and would you rate it higher than newer brands like LeEco and Coolpad?
