Panasonic Eluga Waterproof & Dustproof Android Phone

Panasonic unveiled the specifications of their Android smartphone dubbed the Eluga, expected to debut on the European market this March.

 

The poorly named Eluga is powered by a dual-core 1GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor and 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, which we have come to expect from high-end droids these days. At the front we find a 4.3-inch OLED display with qHD 960 x 540 pixels resolution.It’s also water- and dust-proof with NFC on-board. Remarkably, this hasn’t made the device as thick as one might expect. The Eluga is just 7.8mm thick and weighs only 103grams,

Now that’s not all, the Eluga has NFC and DLNA capabilities. The smartphone is dust-proof and also water-proof with the IP57 certification which goes to mean the device can work when immersed in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes with damaging it. 

 

THE ELUGA IS WATERPROOF AND DUSTPROOF

Outdoor ability with urban style

Smartphones are cutting-edge technology – but once a phone is dunked underwater, it’s destroyed. Wouldn’t it be nice not to worry about your mobile device, should it take a tumble into the sink? With Panasonic’s ELUGA, you no longer need to fear water or dust. Its waterproof technology makes it ready for outdoor activities but it also retains a metropolitan design.

Approved with an IP57 certificate

The IP Code is an international standard to mark protection categories. IP57 means that the ELUGA is waterproof and dustproof. It was tested by being immersed into water at a depth of up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes – without taking any damage. More than enough to protect you against accidental splashes.
