As we’ve told you before, this is one big device with a massive 5.5-inch screen, which is unfortunately limited to 720p HD (1280 x 720 pixels) resolution. Panasonic’s phablet also sports MediaTek’s octa-core chip clocked at 1.7GHz, HSPA+ connectivity, 13-megapixel rear and 2-megapixel front…
Panasonic isn’t giving up on its smartphone business yet. However, instead of going for users in the Western hemisphere, they are turning to emerging economies like India. And that’s where they’re bringing the Panasonic P81, which should hit select retail stores across the country later this month. The device has been teased in a video…
Panasonic has seemingly lost interest for the mainstream smartphone market. Instead, at Mobile World Congress they’ve unveiled a pair of rugged devices made for special use cases.

And when you think about it, it’s not like the Japanese company is competing with a number…
It was back in January 2012 when we saw Archos’ 35 Smart Home Phone, a DECT-based Android device that wanted to replace your plain-vanilla cordless phone. Now Panasonic unveiled a similar product that also runs Google’s mobile platform, while boasting slightly better specs (than Archos’ product). However, it’s still not a high-end phone by any…
Looks like Panasonic will yet again try to bring its phones to the international audience. One of the reasons to make this bold step (again) is that they’re not satisfied with the existing deal they have with NTT DoCoMo, which is focusing its marketing efforts on a smaller number of handsets. As part of this…
Panasonic launched a new Android smartphone in India. The new Panasonic P51 seems designed for the emerging markets, packing MediaTek’s 1.2GHz quad-core processor which is usually used in more affordable devices launching across Asia.
