Engadget Review
Panasonic's done some things right: the design here is slick and the screen's a good performer, but underwhelming specifications and temperamental software will leave it struggling to claim fans.

- 62AVERAGE CRITIC SCORE5 ReviewsEngadget60Panasonic Eluga reviewThe Eluga doesn't embarrass itself, with a subtle, appealing design and a capable screen. But while it can shrug off watery dangers, it can't do the same to serious software hiccups and missing elements -- like decent media storage, a camera flash and (at this price) a more competent processor.Pocket-Lint60Panasonic Eluga dL1 reviewWe also found it felt slow in use and crashes were relatively frequent ... As it is, the out-of-the-box experience isn't compelling enough for us to set Panasonic above its rivals.CNET UK70Panasonic Eluga reviewIts beauty is skin deep. Under the waterproof surfaces lurks an underwhelming engine and disappointing camera. It doesn't run the latest Android operating system and has awkward buttons. Unless you're in love with its looks, your cash is better splashed elsewhere.Phone Scoop60Panasonic ELUGA Review“Style over substance” – this is the idea around which the Panasonic ELUGA has been designed ... However, the poor audio quality, awkward buttons, and below average battery life are a bit of a letdown.phoneArena60Panasonic ELUGA ReviewIt is the slim profile and low weight combined with resistance to dust and water damage that make this smartphone stand out. However, the poor audio quality, awkward buttons, and below average battery life are a bit of a letdown.
