Panasonic P-02E smartphone appears in the FCC flesh, looks Japan-bound

Earlier this month, a supposed Panasonic P02-E smartphone popped up on an NTT DoCoMo Japanese server log, but such scant evidence required more than a few grains of salt to swallow it. Now, the ever-reliable FCC has revealed the device to be an actual _thing_, and putting the two sources together would make it a 5-inch, 1,920 x 1080, Android 4.1.2 smartphone with a quad-core, 1.5GHz APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, along with LTE and NFC capability. Don't get too excited if those specs float your boat, however -- judging by the retractable TV antenna, [NTT DoCoMo](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/11/ntt-docomo-winter-lineup/) origins and general Panasonic [elusiveness](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/26/murmurs-have-panasonic-quitting-european-cellphones/) in the west, it looks to be aimed squarely at the Japanese market only.
