Panasonic reveals Eluga: Slim, Light and WaterProof

Panasonic announced their new Android smartphone called Eluga (Estonian for ‘Life’) yesterday.

Slated for release in April this year in Europe, Eluga houses 4th generation 1 GHz dual-core OMAP 4430 processor from Texas Instruments along with  1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory. Deriving other standard features commonly found in high-end droids, Eluga has a 4.3-inch OLED display with qHD (quarter of a full HD) 960 x 540 pixels resolution.

The most striking feature of this phone is amphibian like structure, thanks to IP57 certificate which helps it survive under water (1.5 meters max) for up to 30 minutes. The device is dust-proof as well and has a NFC antenna on-board.

Even with a 8MP snapper at the back the phone manages to be pretty slim and is just 7.8mm thick and weighs only 103grams. The integrated 1,150 mAh battery delivers a talk-time of 240 min.

The Eluga will run Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 initially and Ice Cream Sandwich will be pushed around spring as per Panasonic.
