Panasonic Eluga S

There are many cell-phone manufacturing units present in the market. Some of them are established, while many are still trying to compete and mark their presence globally. One such brand is Panasonic.
Panasonic is a world renowned Consumer-electronics manufacturer. They stepped into the Mobile phone industry, after a long break and launched the Eluga-series recently. The series consist of Eluga A, Eluga I, Eluga S and Eluga U. This review is all about the pocket-friendly, Eluga S.
  

Tech Specs:
The Eluga S, like many of its competitors comes with Dual-SIM slot. This device is 2G-3G-WiFi ready.  It has a 5 inch IPS LCD Capacitive touchscreen display with 260 ppi pixel density and 720p resolution. The phone features an 8 MP primary snapper with LED Flash and a 5 MP secondary camera from clicking selfies. The primary camera can record videos in Full HD resolution.
The smartphone has an internal storage of 8 GB, which is expandable up to 32 GB with the help of microSD card. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB.
The device runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat). It is powered by MediaTek MT6592 True Octa-core chipset clocked at 1.4 GHz, which is complimented by 1 GB RAM. Though, I couldn’t find out about the GPU, but it seems like Mali-450MP4 (I am not sure on this).
The Eluga S has a 2100 mAh Li-ion non-removable battery, which lasts for a day with limited usage.


Review:
The Eluga S is a good looking smartphone. Stitched faux leather gives it a premium look and feel, but at the same time reminds me of Samsung Galaxy Grand 2. The display of the device is impressive. The viewing angles and pixel density are good but the sunlight readability is average.
The phone packs two baronial and unique features, i.e. the UI and Blink Play. The one-handed operation is really amazing feature of the UI. A person can easily operate the phone with single hand and swipe through the menu using this feature. Whereas, the Blink Play is feature for taking Selfies. The front-camera recognizes the eye motion and activates a 3 second timer. Both the snappers are impressive in outdoor conditions.
The performance of the Eluga S is satisfactory. The phone packs a combination of MediaTek Octa-core chipset and 1 GB RAM, which is fair enough keeping in mind the price point. My gaming experience was good. Though, the battery life is not really great. The reason behind this could be the Octa-core chipset and the display.




Verdict:

 I think Panasonic is taking the competition quite seriously. The Eluga-series is impressive and the Eluga S is one of them. The features like one-handed operation and Blink Play are amazing. The performance and gaming experience is also great. The only thing which is not acceptable is the battery life.
The competition is not only from the International brands like Motorola but also from the Chinese and Indian brands. The pricing is competitive but after the arrival of Micromax Yureka, I think people might switch.
Still, I will rate it 4 out of 5 because the design, performance and features are good. The battery life is the only issue which I faced while using this smartphone.

Everything you need to know: Mass Gainers

“Dude, you are way too skinny! You need a Mass Gainer to grow”. If you are a guy who is trying to put on some muscle mass, but unable to achieve your desired goals, then you must have got this advice from your coach or some other gym dude. But, before you take their advice, just ask yourself, “Do I really need a Mass Gainer?” The answer to this may vary from person to person and there is nothing wrong in buying a Mass Gainer if you are working really hard and consuming the right amount of macros but unable to reach your goals (which is very unlikely!). What are Mass Gainers? Mass Gainers are nothing but “high-calorie protein drinks” in disguise. A typical Mass Gainer is a blend of Protein (usually Whey Protein, Casein Protein, Egg Albumen, Soy Protein, Sweet Dairy Whey and Plant Protein), Maltodextrin (starch compound), Dextrose (glucose), Creatine Monohydrate and Anabolic Substances (in some Mass Gainers). The manufacturing and marketing companies claim that their rec...
