Panasonic P81 Expert Review Summary
Verdict
Summing it up, Panasonic has taken a step in the right direction with the P81 and priced it well considering its specifications. The device has a sticker price of Rs 18,990 and thanks to the price war between online retail websites, it can be purchased for as low as Rs 17,000.However, the smartphone is in a highly-competitive arena pitted against devices such as the XOLO Q3000, Gionee Gpad G4, Karbonn Titanium Hexa in terms of the screen size. It also faces competition from octa-core chipset-lad
5.5-inch display, 1,280 x 720 pixels (267 ppi)
Read MoreThe Panasonic P81 is built around a 5.5-inch display and with such a large display, there’s no denying the fact that it’s big. It has large dimensions and it takes a while to get used to the size if you’re migrating from a smaller-sized handset. However, what the brand has done well is to keep the overall weight of the device on the lower side and therefore, it feels good in the hands.
Read MoreAs mentioned before, the Panasonic P81 flaunts a large 5.5-inch display featuring a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. Although the pixel density seems low at 267 pixel-per-inches, the display is absolutely gorgeous. Needless to say that the enormous display adds to the enjoyment while watching movies or even doing serious work like reading documents or browsing through webpages. Even under sunlight, the screen is easily viewable and automatic brightness takes care of required luminance.
Read MoreThe smartphone is supplied with a 13-megapixel shooter at the back, accompanied by an LED flash for capturing details in poor lighting conditions. Panasonic has customised the camera app interface providing options like flash and camera switcher at the bottom right and settings options at the top left. The settings menu offers the ability to modify scene modes, white balance, shooting delay, ISO, saturation, contrast and exposure among others. It also gives you the option to capture burst pictures, select default storage for saving pictures and videos. Swiping from the left provides your option to click images in Standard, Negative, Sepia and more modes. It also offers HDR, Panorama and GIF mode for capturing images.
Read MoreWhile the device is based on Android 4.4.2 Jelly Bean, it’s been overlaid with the Japanese brand’s custom interface dubbed Play More. The change is not just in few areas, it starts right from the lockscreen and home screen to even basic apps like dialler and messages.
Read MorePerformance is the real area where the Panasonic P81 shines, thanks to the use of MediaTek's octa-core MT6592 chipset, clocked at 1.7GHz. The SoC is a rage amongst most Indian manufacturers who want to provide top-notch performance at a mid-range pricing. MediaTek’s marketing the chip as true octa-core for the simple reason being that any app or game can take advantage of all the eight cores at the full clock speed to deliver blazingly-fast performance. A gigabyte of RAM supplements the processor and the result is a smooth functioning of the smartphone. The device never slowed down even once, no matter what we threw at it. Playing graphics-loaded games like Asphalt 8: Airborne and Riptide GP2 also turned out to be very smooth experience without any lags.
