Panasonic appears set to increase its Eluga range of mobile phones in India, by launching the Eluga I5 mobile phone shortly. Ahead of an official launch, the new smartphone has been listed on Flipkart with a price tag of Rs. 8,990. The smartphone is likely to be exclusively available in the online marketplace.
The Flipkart listing confirms the key requirements as well as the design of the Panasonic Eluga I5. However, the online marketplace has not yet started selling the handset, and the listing carries a “coming soon” tag — without revealing any details about its availability in the country. We reached out to Panasonic India for more information and were informed the handset has yet to be officially launched in the country.
