Panasonic P31 priced at Rs 11990 for India, a look at its most important features

The Panasonic P31 is landing in India this week for a price of Rs 11990. It’s a 5-inch handset with a quad core processor and a few other specifications that position it at the start of the mid-range segment. So it’s basically one of those gadgets you would be buying if you were upgrading from a low-end smartphone or a plain old feature phone.

Bearing in mind the market the P31 is playing for, here’s what we think of the device and whether it’s worth your money. First off, the Karbonn Titanium S5+, Xolo Q1010 and Micromax Canvas Doodle A111 are the closest competitors to the smartphone in terms of specs and price.

Low points:

In spite of having an expansive 5-inch screen, visuals can only be displayed in 854 x 480p resolution, as compared to the Q1010’s HD one. Since Google is insistent on KitKat for all devices cheap or expensive, we wish manufacturers would just launch their products with Android 4.4 onboard instead of Jelly Bean.

High points:

A 1.3GHz quad core processor (probably from the champion chip-maker of budget phones, Mediatek) sits at the heart of the device. This should lend decent smoothness to the way tasks are handled by the phone. The P31 has 4GB of internal storage which may be insufficient for entertainment buffs, hence the 32GB memory expandability.

Since the order of the day is dual SIM handsets, Panasonic obviously inserted this option. A reasonable 8MP camera is fixed onto the back panel. The integrated 2000mAh battery delivers up to 9 hours of 3G talk time. All of the aforementioned features make the gadget in question worth its Rs 11990 cost. But only just.
