Panasonic Eluga Icon -6

Time and time again, Panasonic has struggled to make itself feel relevant in the mobile space. Previous efforts have more or less failed to leave a mark on the Indian smartphone space and just as we thought that the company might be about to call it quits in the mobility space, we see yet another handset from the Japanese marque.

Decidedly still in the extremely crowded mid-range segment, we spent some time with the handset to gauge its worth. Here’s the FoneArena review of the Panasonic Eluga Icon .
