Panasonic A3/A3 Pro: The twin brother smartphones

For the upcoming festive season, Panasonic has decided to go wholesale and launch more than 10 devices in India. As a run up to this, it recently launched its A3 and A3 Pro smartphones. They are pretty much twins -- both in design and specs, with one being slightly bigger than the other.

Both the A3 and the A3 Pro are 5.2-inche full HD devices, with a 13MP + 8MP camera configuration, and powered by a 4000mAh battery, weighing 161g each. While one comes with a 1.25GHz Mediatek processor, the other sports a 1.3GHz processor. The A3 comes with a 3GB + 16GB memory configuration, while its slightly superior twin comes with a 3GB + 32GB memory. Priced at Rs 11,290 and Rs 12,790 respectively, both these devices are currently available across Panasonic brand stores and other retail outlets.

Like most new-generation Panasonic devices, the A3 and A3 Pro come with ARBO, the company's AI-based virtual assistant that understands your usage pattern, and provides suggestions at different times of the day. For instance, if you've been booking an Uber three days in a row between 8am and 8:15am in the morning, ARBO will pull up the Uber app on the fourth day automatically at 7:55am. If you order pizza every Friday around the same time, ARBO understands this pattern and makes life a wee bit easier for you.

While the A3 and the A3 Pro are not the first devices that come pre-built with ARBO, this makes them good bargain buys this festive season.
