The Panasonic Eluga X1 and the pro version have their rear camera placed at the upper left corner. The camera setup has a 16MP sensor and a 5MP secondary one with scene recognition and offers some background blur. The front-facing 16MP camera is tucked in the notch. At the back, you will also find a fingerprint sensor and an IR Face Unlock support that uses 236 recognition points in the dark.
The Panasonic Eluga X1 and Eluga X1 Pro, both came with Android Oreo out-of-the-box, and offers dual SIM support. The pro version came with 3000mAh battery with wireless charging support. The phone with a weight of 195 grams has a USB-C port but lacks a 3.5 mm audio jack. Panasonic salvages the situation with a dongle that arrives in the retail box.
