Panasonic P51 breaks into the Indian phone market with a 5-inch screen and stylus

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/panasonic-p51.jpgAlthough Panasonic’s cellphones have traveled far from Japan, the company has left the hot Indian market relatively untapped – until today, that is. The company is staking its first proper claim in the country with the launch of the P51. The Android 4.2-toting smartphone reflects the local market’s taste for big-screened yet modest phones between its 5-inch, 720p LCD and quad-core 1.2GHz MediaTek processor, but comes across as a sort of Galaxy Note lite: Panasonic bundles both a capacitive stylus and a magnetic flip cover in the box. The remaining hardware is a slightly unusual mix of budget and premium components, with the so-so 1GB of RAM and 4GB of expandable storage buffered by an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front camera and support for both HSPA+ and dual SIM cards. The P51 will be comparatively expensive for India at 26,900 rupees ($517) contract-free when it’s available next week, but it should be a bargain next to its pen-packing Samsung counterpart.
