Tech world has been expecting the release of the latest smart phone from Panasonic for quite some time now. Speculations of this device have been making its rounds in the net world for the past few months. Finally Panasonic has lifted the veil and has announced some specifications and features of the new smart phone.

The phone is termed as Panasonic Eluga. It was initially announced in December and a proto type of the phone was show cased then. Not much info was revealed by the company after that. Then it is only now that the company has given out some more official statements regarding the hardware and software of the device.Features and specifications of Panasonic Eluga:

Android operating system

4.3 inch screen

OLED type display

960 x 540 pixels screen resolution

Dust proof

Water proof

These are all the details that are out as for now. The pictures of the device posted in net shows a very thin and solid mobile phone made in a block type form factor. The front portion is dominated by the big display and there are no physical buttons in the front. Touch sensitive buttons are provided just below the screen. On the rear side a big camera can be seen.

There is no word on the resolution of the same but can be expected to be of very good quality. The back sides of the phone are a bit tapered and this would ensure good ergonomics. The rear panel has a matte colour finish so no finger prints would get in the way.

The screen has a size of 4.3 inches. It packs in a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. This is a sufficiently high quality display. It would be a pleasure to watch pictures and short video clips in this high resolution and big screen. Also the phone is dust and water proof.

So you won’t have to worry about taking the phone outside and using it even when it is raining cats and dogs. The phone will run on android operating system. There is no information about the processor used or the memory capacity of the phone. More information can be expected in the near feature itself.

There is no word on the price tag of the Panasonic Eluga but it can be expected to be surely competitive. The device will come out probably during the month of March.
