18:9 Panasonic Eluga I7 launched in India with beefy battery and modest price tag

Panasonic today announced the Eluga I7 in India. The phone is highlighted by its 18:9 5.45-inch "Big View" display, large 4,000mAh battery and affordable INR 6,499 (~€80) price tag.

The Eluga I7 goes on sale on April 24, and it will be a Flipkart exclusive.

The modest price tag nets you a reasonably specced phone. There are two 8MP f/2.0 cameras - an autofocus one on the back and a fixed-focus selfie snapper and the main one churns out 1080p video.

The screen packs a resolution of 1440x720px and at 5.46-inch it's compact but not small. The chipset on board is a MediaTek MT6737H with a quad-core 1.3GHz CPU. There are 2GB of RAM and 16GB of on-board memory, which can be expanded with a microSD card.

That microSD card has its own slot and there are two separate nano SIM slots for optional dual-SIM.
