Panasonic unveils Eluga A2 with 4G VoLTE and 4,000mAh battery at Rs 9,490
Panasonic has added another budget smartphone to its portfolio with the launch of 4G-enabled Eluga A2 smartphone. The handset packs in a large 4,000mAh battery and will retail at Rs 9,490 through offline stores in the country. 

The 4G VoLTE enabled smartphone sports a 5-inch HD IPS display and is equipped with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory with an option to expand it by a further 128GB via microSD card.

ELUGA A2 is powered by a 1GHz Quad-core processor and runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop with Panasonic FitHome UI. There is no mention of the processor that powers up the device, but we believe Panasonic is using a MediaTek processor.

We played around with the UI for a while and found it to be a bit clumsy, however Panasonic has tried to give the user interface a new look, which we have not seen earlier on any other devices.

As far as imaging goes, the smartphone sports an 8MP rear camera with LED flash and 5MP front shooter for capturing selfies.

Considering its price point, the smartphone will compete with Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Asus Zenfone Max and other sub Rs 10,000 smartphones. However, looking at the above specifications, we can say that Panasonic is going to face a tough competition from Chinese smartphone makers who are offering better value for money deal. 

Panasonic is also offering a protective screen guard as a free accessory, which the company claims is priced at Rs,399 with the device.
