Even Panasonic is doing a selfie phone and it has decided to release the device has the Eluga S which is currently selling for Rs 10990 online. The OEM is yet to give the phone an official release and that shouldn’t be far away, but you can still go ahead and purchase it via Snapdeal.
The Panasonic Eluga S is the third addition in the revived Eluga series in India. The handset falls between the Eluga U and A smartphones, offering a mid-range experience through a decently designed form factor. The most attractive features of the handset are its textured rear panel which has a stitch design on the sides, and the slim bezels surrounding the screen on the front.
Speaking of which, the display here is 5-inch IPS panel with 1280 x 720p visuals. Accompanying the screen is a 5MP snapper for taking selfies and on the rear, there’s an 8MP camera with LED flash. Android 4.4 KitKat comes preloaded with the smartphone and it’s powered by an octa core processor based on the Cortex A7.

The chip is however, clocked at just 1.4GHz and not 1.7GHz as you’d have expected. The Eluga S is 7.9mm thin and it packs 1GB RAM and 8GB storage on the inside. And while a 2100mAh battery sounds decent enough, the biggest downside of the Panasonic phone is that it’s estimated to provide a mere 2.5 hours of 3G talk time.
