Since last so many years, Japanese Hardware Vendor, Panasonic was dealing in its home market only; but now with the launch of Eluga Anderoid smartphone in Europe, it is very soon expected to step into the European market as well. The Eluga Smartphone refers to a phone that is especially designed for 'elegant user-oriented gateway'. And it is expected that this phone will be "back with a splash" in the European market.

As told by Toshiya Matsumura, who is the GM and head of Mobile Communications for Panasonic Europe, "Despite the unprecedented increase in the number of smartphone devices appearing over the last few years, we don't believe anyone has yet managed to truly bridge the gap between style and substance. With the launch of the Eluga, we're aiming to prove it is possible to deliver style, function, form, and the very best underlying technology, all in a competitively-priced package".

For some, Eluga might not be the suitable name for such a high technology smartphone but then it comes with such mouth-watering technology and features that no one will be able to resist this phone. For starters, it will have a
4.3in organic LED (OLED) qHD touchscreen.

With 1 GB RAM, this phone will be powered by a Texas Instruments OMAP4430 1GHz dual-core processor. It will pose 8GB of internal storage and an 8MP rear facing camera.

Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, which is an up gradation to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich phone and Eluga are expected to step into the market at the same time.

According to Panasonic, this phone will feature a slim 7.8mm profile and will flaunt the near field communications (NFC) and digital living network alliance (DLNA) technology. Being water and dust proof, this phone will be a rough and tough usable phone.

Though its pricing has not yet been decided, but according to the manufacturers, it is expected to land somewhere in April.
