Panasonic P-04D Phone with Gingerbread and 1 GHz Dual-Core CPU Lands in Japan on March 31

Panasonic has just announced its entrance on the European smartphone market with the Eluga Android-based phone. Today, the company launched a new device, which is limited to the Japanese market, the P-04D.

As expected, the smartphone is waterproof and dustproof and comes with Google’s Android platform. However, Panasonic P-04D runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, which might not be a good idea for the device to be released so late in Q1.

In addition, the smartphone is equipped with a 1 GHz dual-core processor, a brilliant 4.3-inch qHD capacitive touchscreen display (540 x 960 pixels resolution), as well as an impressive 8-megapixel rear camera.

Panasonic P-04D is only 7.8mm thin and weighs 103g (battery included). The phone will be delivered with a free 2GB memory card in the sales package.
