Launch pad: Panasonic P51, LG Nexus 4

Panasonic P51

Panasonic has marked its entry into the smartphone segment with the P51. It runs the latest Android 4.2 OS and is powered by a Mediatek quad core processor, 1GB RAM with 4GB internal storage (expandable).

Weighing just 135 grams, the phone sports a matte finish with a unibody construction. It has a 5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and features dual cameras — 8MP rear and 1.3MP front. Other features include 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS/A-GPS and a 2,500mAh battery.



LG Nexus 4

LG has officially launched the Google Nexus 4 smartphone in India. This smartphone will be the first one to get the latest Android OS updates, as and when Google releases them. The phone has a 4.7-inch HD IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels.

Hardware includes a 1.5Ghz Qualcomm quad core processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB non expandable storage with 2,100mAh battery. It has an 8MP autofocus rear camera that does full HD 1080p recording and a front 1.3MP camera for video calling.

Logitech Ultimate Ears range

Aimed at music enthusiasts, the Ultimate Ears range of audio products comprises two portable speakers: Mobile Boombox and Boombox, two headphones: UE 6000 and UE 9000 and the UE 900, professional in-ear monitors.
The UE 6000 is a noise cancelling wired headphone while the UE 9000 is a wireless Bluetooth headphone. Both Boomboxes work via Bluetooth and can pair with up to 8 devices. The UE 900 earphones includes 4 drivers in a compact design — two for low end and one each for mid range and high frequencies.

CORRIGENDUM: The Galaxy Grand Quattro features a Qualcomm Snapdragon quad core processor and not a Mediatek processor as mentioned in the 15th May launch section.
