Panasonic P51: Mediatek powered disappointment at 26900INR!!

When Panasonic released the P51 we were really excited, for after a huge trail of Chinese Phone makers trying to cash in the Indian Phone market it was refreshing to see a Japanese Phone maker finally crash the party.

Why? well given the quality of products and the finesse they provide in their phones we were expecting to see more such innovations from their fellow mate. Unfortunately the only thing Panasonic follows their more famous mate is the pricing- At 26,900INR. So what do you get at this pricing?

Panasonic P51 won't be their Knight in Shining Armour for sure.

Key features of the Panasonic P51
