Here is another budget offering from Panasonic, the Eluga Ray 530, that will join already cramped sub-Rs.10,000 smartphone segment in India. This new device comes with a fairly large display and also features a powerful camera along with 3GB of RAM.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Panasonic Eluga Ray 530 is punching above its weight in the segment. An 18:9 ‘Big View’ display, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 3,000mAh battery are surprising features for a phone that costs roughly Rs. 9,000. Moreover, Panasonic has provided its Arbo Hub backed by artificial intelligence (AI), which houses various apps under one roof.

The Eluga Ray 530 comes in Black and Blue colour options and is already available for purchase through various online marketplaces, including Amazon India, NDTV Gadgets reported, citing an official press statement. In terms of competition, the phone will take on devices such as the Redmi 6A, Asus ZenFone Max M1 and many others.
