Panasonic seems to have understood as to how should it price its smartphones for the Indian market and it has started launching its smartphone with a value for money price tag off late in the country. The latest launch from the company is its octa-core device, the Panasonic P81 which has been launched at an aggressive price of Rs 18,990 and it will rival a slew of octa-core processor equipped Android smartphones which have been launched in the country recently. All of these are priced between the Rs 15,000-20,000.
