BARCELONA, Spain — Based on its specifications, you’d expect Panasonic’s 5-inch Toughpad FZ-X1 to be a smartphone — albeit a chunky-looking one. That’s not the case, however; the company insists that the FZ-X1 is a tablet first and foremost.The Panasonic slate is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor clocked at 1.7GHz, and runs the Android operating system (4.2.2). When I tried it out, it appeared to be close to stock Android, but Panasonic has added some tweaks.
