The
smartphone is built like most other super-smartphones currently available. The
P 51 comes with a 5-inch display. The body looks neat, devoid of the usual
physical buttons. The Power button and the volume rocker are the only
exception. The phone feels a bit wider than most other smarpthones that size. I
wonder if I can use all apps and type with just one hand. Predictably, I need
to use both if only to hold it and play games, but definitely both to type
with. The virtual keyboard on the Panasonic P 51 is surprisingly intuitive.
There are a handful of crazy-looking emoticons to go with your SMSes, thanks to
Panasonic’s proprietary user interface. Although the overlay isn’t as extensive
as on Samsung or LG handsets, the effect is still quite evident.
The
Panasonic P 51 has a pixel density of about 294 pixels per inch which make for
pretty good resolution and reproduction of images. At its brightest, the
display is blindingly vivid. I almost always used it at minimum brightness
unless I stepped outdoors and had to pump it up a bit. Even under harsh light,
I didn’t have it turn up the brightness to the maximum for the display to be
fairly visible.
Now,
the phone, just like the Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos, comes with dual SIM
capability. You can use two micro SIM cards at the same time, but the phone
lets you use 3G on only one of the SIM cards and only GPRS on the other. The
phone is available for Rs. 19,999 with all these features.
An Overview of Panasonic P 51
The
phone has an IPS display which ensures the viewing angles are not compromised.
One of the downers in the multimedia section was the audio levels. While the
quality of audio wasn’t bad by itself, the levels were really low with some of
the media I tried out.
Another
aspect of the P 51 that a lot of people might have a problem with is that it
only comes with 4 GB of internal memory. While you can use an external memory
card for your storage needs, almost every handset now offers at least 8GB of
storage space.
The
Panasonic P51 is powered by a quad-core processor clocking at 1.2GHz and is
paired with 1GB of RAM. The overall performance is pretty satisfactory but on
benchmarking tests it doesn’t stand up to the super-smartphones. The Panasonic
P51 scored about 3,820 points almost around the same as the Samsung Galaxy
Grand Duos.
Another
little niggle about the Panasonic P 51 is that charging cord is an AC adapter
only. You can’t plug it in to a USB slot, something you can now do with every
smartphone in the market. Panasonic packs in a separate cable for that. Also,
it earns itself some brownie points for thoughtfully packing in a magnetic
cover to protect the unit from scratches.
The
smartphone comes with a 8-meg camera which takes pretty decent pictures in
well-lit conditions. The capture time is minimal but the camera struggles a bit
to focus correctly a lot of the time. It doesn’t handle low-light pics very
well either. There are a couple of modes which you can swipe through and select
on the top of the app, but most of these such as HDR give pretty mediocre
results.
The
call quality on the handset was pretty good and we had no complaints whatsoever
regarding voice calls. The handset didn’t have any heating issue either.
One of
the most impressive aspects of the phone is the battery life. Even with the
usual amount of internet usage (via Wi-Fi) it easily gave us company for a full
working day, which is something most smartphones fail to do.
Apart
from a few small niggles here and there, the Panasonic P 51 manages to impress
especially because it’s a first for the company. And if the morning shows the
day, we can’t wait to see what Panasonic does with its next smartphone in
India!
