Panasonic has managed to sneak some neat software tricks and functionalities with the Eluga U; Kwick Lock (double tap to wake up the device), Gesture controls, Pop I player and Music CafeIt. Also, Panasonic says that its custom UI makes it easier for a user to operate the device with a single hand. But it would have been great if Panasonic had launched it in Rs 10,000-12,000 price bracket. But the device is already available on various online stores for about Rs 17,000-17,500.
