The new Panasonic P51 smartphone has its great moments, but it has much to prove
Yes, the Panasonic P51 is a large-ish phone to hold, and that is evident from the moment you fish it out of the box. The blame cannot squarely be put at the door of the 5-inch display, but its thick bezel — the Samsung Galaxy S4, for e.g., has a same display size as the P51 but due to its significantly thin bezel, the S4 feels smaller and more compact in comparison. Despite the thick bezels, the Panasonic P51 still is very much pocketable and partly manageable with single hand use, and its slimness is its saving grace. Built well, the non-slippery finish on the battery cover helps with the grip of the phone. It comes with two colour options — the white one has an enamel finish while the dark option gets the soft feel finish back. The battery itself is sealed away, and all slots are on the spines — two SIM slots and the memory card slot. This is also the first dual-SIM phone with micro SIM slots.
