Panasonic introduced the Eluga series of smartphones in 2012 by launching the Eluga DL1 and the Eluga Power for European markets. Considering that India is now the global headquarters for Panasonic's global smartphone business, it is no surprise that the company is trying to revive the Eluga brand here with its latest flagship - the Eluga U.
Panasonic's latest flagship - Eluga U - has many niggles that prevent it from provide a cohesive smartphone experience despite a few redeeming features. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 400 chip inside the P81 is competent but definitely not flagship-material.
