Panasonic Lumix CM1: A Camera-Smartphone Hybrid

The Panasonic Lumix CM1 is a 4.7-inch Android smartphone that sports the functionality of a premium camera within.

Under the hood, the Lumix CM1 features a quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB of on-board memory with a microSD card slot allowing expansion by up to an extra 128GB – handy since this camera can also shoot 4K video.

Availability will be limited to France and Germany, with an official launch slated for the holiday season.
