Expanding its Eluga range of smartphones in India, Panasonic today announced the Eluga Ray 530. Priced at Rs 8,999, the phone takes on the popular Realme 2 and the Xiaomi Redmi 6, but it doesn't have a single feature that makes it stand out from the crowd. And Panasonic says it will be selling the smartphone across the online portal, which makes it even a tougher option to recommend over the other phones. The Eluga Ray 530 sports a 5.7-inch HD+ display on the front and it runs Android Oreo out of the box. Panasonic has used a quad-core processor to power this handset, but it did not mention which chipset it's.
