So we heard Panasonic is preparing to enter European smartphone market, but up until this point we didn’t have a single device to show you. Enter Eluga, the Japanese company’s first Android device “made for export.” It’s a thin (7.8mm) phone with a 4.3-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) touchscreen, that’s also pretty durable — IP57-certified against…
ZTE will use Mobile World Congress to announce two solid smartphones, PF200 and N910, both of which offer LTE connectivity while running the latest version of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich).

Initially available in South Korea only, the new phone is pretty much on par with Samsung Galaxy S II’s feature set, though LG’s device has a 5-megapixel camera (whereas the SGS2’s camera counts 8 megapixels). Heck, since it comes in white, we can’t say it…
