Det var en form for afledningsmanøvre da Panasonic afslørede deres nye smartphone ELUGA i sidste uge.
Da Panasonic løftede sløret for deres vandtætte ELUGA smartphone i sidste uge, var der flere som fandt at specifikationerne skuffede lidt – som topmodel betragtet. Hvor var eksempelvis den hurtige processor og Android 4.
Men det viste sig at det hele var en form for afledningsmanøvne, og Mobile World Congress ville være stedet for præsentationen af den “rigtige” topmodel.
Panasonic ELUGA Power er en Android 4 smartphone, der ligesom lillebror ELUGA også er vandtæt og støvafvisende. Den kommer med en dual-core CPU på 1,5 GHz, og har et 8 Mpixel kamera.
Den ventes på gaden inden sommeren 2012. Pris ukendt.

Toshiya Matsumura, General Manager, Head of Mobile Communications, Panasonic System Communications Europe, said:
