We all know that Panasonic Lumix cameras are pretty top notch when it comes to digital photography, but will phones ever reach that level? Apparently, in the case of a Panasonic Lumix Phone they do… with the 101P model being the perfect example.
Available in Japan and marketed as the best cameraphone ever, this handset comes with a 13.2 megapixel camera, Mobile Venus Engine technology and a Xenon flash. There’s also a 4 inch qHD display on board (540 x 960 pixels). a dual core TI 1GHz CPU (OMAP4430) and support for HSPA+ connectivity, reaching up to 21Mbps in download speed.
There’s also WiFi on board, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth and Android, plus the usual features for a Japanese phone: waterproof body, digital TV tuner and e-wallet feature. We’re anxiously waiting for an export of the handset to outside of Japan, but that may never happen…
