Moto E4 Plus has emerged as a popular budget smartphone in India, with 1 lakh units sold within 24 hours of the device being listed on Flipkart. The biggest highlight of Moto E4 Plus is, of course, its 5000mAh battery, and now Panasonic launched the P55 Max smartphone targeting the same user base. The new Panasonic P55 Max has a 5000mAh battery too, and costs Rs. 8,499, slightly lower than the Rs. 9,999 price tag of the Moto E4 Plus. The former is available exclusively via Flipkart in Matte Black and Champagne Gold colours.

The Moto E4 Plus has near identical specifications, except it comes with 32GB of internal storage.
As far as connectivity is concerned, the Panasonic P55 Max offers options like 4G VoLTE connectivity, OTG, Bluetooth 4.0, Micro USB 2.0, and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n.

Commenting on the launch, Pankaj Rana, Business Head of Mobility Division at Panasonic India, was quoted as saying, "In today's connected world, smartphones have become the lifeline drawing parallels amongst work-life balance. The long lasting 5000mAh battery further ensures the seamless functioning without interruptions.
