After launching the Eluga A4 for the offline market in India just a few days back, Panasonic has launched another new smartphone in the Eluga line-up. Dubbed the Eluga I5, the new budget smartphone comes with a price tag of Rs 8,990. However, as an introductory offer, Panasonic is offering a limited-period discount of Rs 2,500, which means the phone is currently being offered at Rs 6,499.
"The Eluga series bespeaks reliability and the latest Eluga I5 is another perfect blend of innovation and elegance. It ensures top-notch performance at a value-based price," said Pankaj Rana, Business Head - Mobility Division, Panasonic India.
