Panasonic confirms it will launch Android smartphones in Europe in 2012



Panasonic has confirmed that it will launch a range of Android-based smartphones in Europe next year, according to a company announcement.
The company is also planning to introduce devices in the US, China and other Asia markets, although at this stage no timeline for these launches has been given.
The new devices will be launched in March 2012, with the firm initially aiming to sell 1.5 million units in Europe by the end of the year. With plans afoot to launch in other global markets, Panasonic is expecting to sell 15 million smartphone worldwide in 2016; including 9 million across Europe, Asia, China and the US and six million (smart- and feature phone) sales in Japan.
While the company hasn’t revealed any confirmed details of its devices, it has revealed that it will be an ultra-slim D-shaped device, with a slim bezel to enable Quarter HD (QHD) viewing on a 4.3-inch large OLED screen.
The announcements comes after widespread rumours of the plans began circulating last month.
The company exited the European mobile market some time ago, although it continues to sell products in its native Japan.
