Panasonic today launched two new smartphones in their flagship lineup. The Eluga X1 and X1 Pro come with a glass back design and a host of AI features. Along with this, there is an IR based Face Unlock and wireless charging which is a first in this price bracket.

Panasonic Eluga X1 and X1 Pro feature a 6.18-inch full-HD+ (1080×2246 pixels) display with notch and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Both the modes come with the proprietary function called ‘AI Sense’ that is said to unlock the smartphone using their face in less than half a second even in low-light conditions. This is being achieved using an IR emitter and IR camera.

Both the smartphones pack dual-rear cameras with 16+5MP setup along with LED flash and a 16MP front camera with Bokeh mode, Face Emoji, and Face Beauty modes. The phone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. The 3.5mm headphone is omitted and Panasonic is supplying a dongle as well as good quality earphones in the box.
