Panasonic launches the Eluga “User-Oriented Elegant GAteway”, a smartphone that comes with a screen that occupies about 66% of the phone, with a very thin frame around it. With a profile of only 7.8 mm over the entire length of the phone and a very thin “D” shape, the phone will not change the clothes’ line and can be easily carried in any pocket. Moreover, the 8MP embedded camera, is also flat and naturally integrated in the phone case.

“Despite unprecedented growth in the number of smartphones launched in recent years, we do not believe that someone managed to build a perfect bridge between style and substance. With the launch of Eluga, our goal is to demonstrate that it is possible to offer consumers style and functionality, and form but also the best technology, all in a very competitive package and price”, said Toshiya Matsumura, General Manager, Head of Mobile Communications, Panasonic Communications System Europe.
