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.
Panasonic P81 Specifications
- 5.5 inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels
- 1.7 GHz MediaTek MT6592 processor, 1GB RAM
- 8GB internal storage, expandable by 32GB with the help of a microSD card
- 13MP rear camera with LED flash and 2MP front-facing camera
- Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (upgradable to Android 4.4 KitKat)
- 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP and GPS for connectivity
- 2,500 mAh battery
- Pre-loaded apps worth Rs 9,900
- Freebies like a flip cover and screen-guard worth Rs 2,000
The Pansonic P81 looks like a well packaged device but still falls short of the Canvas Knight A350 which features better specifications at the same price.
