Panasonic is going aggressive in the Indian smartphone market in recent times. The company recently unveiled the Artificial Intelligence Arbo powered Eluga Ray X and Eluga Ray Max smartphones in the mid-range category. And now, they are back with another smartphone called Panasonic Eluga I3 Mega, which will be available only via the Panasonic authorised retail stores across the country.
Priced at Rs. 11,490, the Eluga I3 Mega comes with mid-range specifications, and the highlight of the phone is the 4000mAh battery under-the-hood, which also has support for fast charging technology. This smartphone was spotted on the company's website some days back and Panasonic today officially launched it along with the pricing.
The Panasonic Eluga I3 Mega comes with an unimetal body, which is another highlight of the phone. It sports a 5.5-inch HD display with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels. The display also has a 2.5D curved glass on top.

The memory of the phone is expandable up to 128GB via microSD card.
Speaking on the Panasonic Eluga I3 Mega, Pankaj Rana, Business Head, Mobility Division, Panasonic India said, "The full-metal body Eluga I3 Mega is designed to stand out in the crowd and is targeted towards the youth who like to keep it stylish.

This dual-SIM smartphone comes laden with Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Panasonic' skin on top. Also, the Eluga I3 Mega misses out on the Arbo AI engine, which may be exclusive to the Eluga Ray series of phones.
