Even though Panasonic's mobile division has shrunk in the last couple of years to the point that it only launched products in a couple of countries, the company is mildly popular in India. In fact, India is one of the few smartphone markets where Panasonic is still releasing devices.

The latest addition to its portfolio of Android smartphones is Panasonic Eluga L 4G, which is a decent mid-range handset that might have been slightly overpriced.

First of all, fonearena reports the Eluga L 4G is now available for purchase in India for Rs 12,990 off contract, which is about $205 or €185.

Panasonic Eluga L 4G is only available in Radian Blue color, but the smartphone comes bundled with a free screen guard and a protective case. It's also worth mentioning that this is Panasonic's first 4G smartphone launched in India.

Now let's see what you get for the price you pay. First of all, the Eluga L 4G ships with Android 4.4 KitKat operating system right out of the box, which is a bit disappointing. It's unclear whether or not the company will offer a Lollipop upgrade in the future.

On the inside, the handset is equipped with a 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, an Adreno 306 graphics processing unit, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory.

In addition, the Eluga L 4G comes with a 8-megapixel main camera with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, along with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

It also sports a 5-inch HD IPS OGS capacitive touchscreen display that features Corning Gorilla Glass coating. Panasonic also included a microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB) and dual-SIM (4G + 3G) support.

The smartphone is powered by a 2,000 mAh battery and offers a wide range of connectivity options, including 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with AGPS, microUSB 2.0 and 3.5mm audio jack.
