Panasonic releases the Eluga Icon budget smartphone

Panasonic has released a new budget smartphone called Eluga Icon. The device costs USD 172 but despite the low price it offers powerful hardware, which might make it a really sweet deal.

The Eluga Icon offers a large 5.5-inch sensor IPS display at 720p resolution (1280 x 720 pixels), protected by Gorilla Glass 3 technology, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, a 13 MP rear camera with a LED flash and 1080p video recording, a front 5 MP shooter, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, a GPS receiver, an FM radio and 3.5 mm audio jacks. The smartphone also supports two SIM cards and has a 3500 mAh battery.

The new Panasonic smartphone runs Android 4.4 KitKat along with the ICON user’s interface. As of now it seems that the smartphone will be available in India only, though.
