The Panasonic Eluga C flaunts a 3-side bezel-less
design similar to Sharp’s Aquos phones and Xiaomi’s Mi Mix. It is not a
flagship though, instead it aims for the lower segments with a price (in
Taiwan) of TWD 6,000 (US$ 200 / € 170).
The phone has a 5.5” screen with a screen to body
ratio of 84.6%. The resolution isn’t great – 720p – but the brightness is
pretty good – 450 nits. Below the screen is a fingerprint reader (0.3s unlock
time) and an 8MP selfie camera.
Around the back there’s a dual 13MP + 5MP camera.
Both it and the front camera use f/2.2 lenses. The MediaTek MT6750T chipset
limits the video capture to 1080p/30 (it’s a relatively old 28nm chip).
The memory situation is better – 4GB of RAM and 64GB
storage. There’s a microSD slot if you need more, though it's unclear if the
dual-SIM slot has a dedicated spot for it or you get to pick between more
storage and second SIM.
Anyway, the Panasonic Eluga C has a 3,000mAh battery
and comes with a slow-ish 7.5W charger. It is currently on pre-order in case
you are interested.
