Panasonic Eluga Ray 500 - User Reviews

  • Too much problem this model phone.

  • Worst mobile, high heating problem, worst performance

  • Hi everyone. Does anyone know where I can buy panasonic eluga ray 500 lcd in the Philippines? Thanks for response.

  • Panasonic is Japanese model with majority of its manufacturing in india

  • Just noticed that 4G can be accessed only through primary sim slot. Second sim slot is by default set to 2G only. So only primary sim slot can be accessed for 4G interne

  • Ok.panasonic made from where india or englad

  • This phone is for someone who is upgrading from micromax, celkon, lava or xolo. Infact lava and xolo are coming up with some robust models as well. Purely for those who are against china phones and wants to promote other brands. I read an article...though this is a Japanese phone, 95% of Panasonic phones are manufactured in India. So promoting a 95% brand from India. I am sure, people who have used high end Samsung phones, iphones, LG wont be satisfied with this phones performance. I do not understand about these phones marketing strategies. Infact Panasonic is coming up with beautiful Eluga models and they are miserably failing to market their product.. Whereas brands like MI and Samsung are boasting about their flagships with rigorous marketing. Now about the features of this phone... The first impression is with the size of the phone. its sleek enough to operate with one hand. Unless you would want to spoil its look by adding some additional heavy back covers for protection. Those who have 4.5 inch phones will need to be ready to get used to its 5 inch size. Next the screen resolution. I have used Samsung galaxy s5 mini and moto g4 moto g turbo before this phone. This phones screen resolution is not as crisp as those phones. Somehow i felt the display was little dull when compared to them. The internal storage is heavy for those who do not install any and every app. Gamers will be disappointed. no inbuilt theme interface. would need a third party theme interface. the home button menu button are not too touch sensitive. Use little finger power,,, for them to operate properly. while placing the phone on any surface make sure the camera lens is not being scratched. the camera lens slightly popup outside and its exposed. Finger sensor is decent enough. Earphones provided are better than Samsung earphones. Ringtones are not the loudest. but moderate enough to know about an incoming call. Camera not satisfactory. Lacks that 13mp clarity. But if not crazy for selfies and pictures, can live with it. The best part about this is 4000 mah battery in 5 inch phone. but charging time is not satisfactory. to charge 10% of batter it took nearly an hour. so little concerned as to the time it will take to charge a full dry battery. I read in another review that it will need atleast 2 hours to charge full battery but am sure, it will go longer than that. The left side of the phone is almost empty with only slot for simcards. I do not understand what problem would they have had if they put a separate slot for memory card. the problem with the hybrid slot, if you want to use a memory card you wont be able to use second sim and if you want to use 2 sims you cant use memory card. that's negative. Comes with Stock android. so you can get rid of that annoying search bar on home screen. The best part i liked in this phone is the 3gb ram and 4000mah battery. and i am not a heavy user of phone, so i can live with it. but if companies like panasonic, micromax, celkon wants to earn the interest of the consumer, they have to provide competitive features in the phones. except for camera and crisp display i have loved this phone. and for my usage this is the best phone. My samsung galaxy s5 mini had a useless 2100 mah battery and this phone has double of it . so its obvious i am fully satisfied with battery.
