Panasonic smartphones

[Dhrubo]

So Panasonic is all set to re launch themselves in the mobile market. The ads are being aired during IPL for their smartphone P51.
So will this be another company selling re branded Chinese phones or will we have some durable Japanese tech? A quick google search did not return anything.

So they have launched it at INR 27K
Talk about dead on arrival.

Going by the discouraging pricing, doesn't look like it's a Chinese rebranded item.

I read somewhere its a rebadged alcatel phone. Let me try to dig up the source.

Edit : Found it on engadget.

Even if not, a mediatek processor @27k is epic fail.

According to Panasonic it will launch a series of smart phones across the price range of Rs.6,990 and Rs.35,000. If the pricing remains similar to what they have come up for P51, good luck to them.

i feel it shows Panasonic brand arrogance towards the market by releasing re branded model for a high price!!!!

I dare say they will not even sell one piece at this price. Nexus 4 at 25K is way better buy than this.

The thing is that people on forums like us and the general public (which forms majority) think differently. Many people are easily influenced by the ads and will buy without thinking.

It is a Chinese rebrand, almost same specs as Micromax Canvas HD.

Mediatek processor etc... Panasonic are dumb enough to think users will fall for this.

And we get a price cut in a week's time. Available @22390 from Infibeam. Let me try my hands at fortune telling - in 2 weeks from now we will see the price drop to below 18k
