It can record 4K video, though only at 15fps. 1080p videos are recorded at 30fps. The Lumix Smart Camera runs on Android. It even comes with some very decent hardware innards, but undoubtedly its main attraction will be the camera.

However, if you are desperate to know the specs of the handset, it sports a 4.7-inch 1080p touchscreen. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset, with a 2.3 GHz quad-core CPU. It runs Android 4.4 KitKat. Other specs include: 16GB of built-in storage, a microSD card slot (up to 128GB storage), 2GB of RAM, LTE (Cat.4, up to 150Mbps theoretical peak download speed), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, and a 2,600 mAh battery. The CM1 is 21.1mm thick, and it weighs 204g.
