Panasonic has given their major emphasis to entry and mid range level smartphones. The Company’s previous offerings were good enough to cater the potential and saturate the Indian market, but still, they cannot find the level of success considering the time they spend in a market and the brand name. Panasonic has to come up with interesting hardware configuration for price sensitive market to grab the attention of good volume of Indian consumers
