Panasonic P11 Hands on Review: A Well Designed Mid Range Smartphone

Processor, Benchmark, UI and Battery

The Panasonic P11 is a mid-range phone, its better not to expect mid cracking experience. Under the hood, the P11 features a 1.2GHz quad-core processor powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 SoC, backed by 1GB of RAM, Adreno 203 GPU and 4GB of internal memory (expandable up to 32GB via a micro SD card card). Out of 4GB ROM, you only to use 1.40GB for apps and another 1.41GB is user-accessible.

The Panasonic P11 suffers from performance issue. It seems that the internal hardware and software didn't gel with each other. The Panasonic P11 is not alone, GizBot found the same mediocre performance while testing the HTC Desire 600. The Desire 600 also comes with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 SoC.

The Panasonic P11 can handle heavy racing games, but while playing a game like "Alphalt 8: Airborne"-the phone's performance seriously comes under the scanner.

Disclaimer: The benchmark scores executed by GizBot should not be looked as the final verdict.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean comes out of the box. The User interface (UI) is neat and clean. Users can download latest firmware update via FOTA. Panasonic hasn't fabricated Android OS by adding its own custom designed UI on the top.

The biggest positive point to own Panasonic P11 is the long battery life. The phone comes with a removable 2000mAh battery fitted inside. On an average use, the P11 comfortably runs 29 hours, which is not bad at all.
