Short Review

  • The Panasonic Eluga Ray 500 features a compact design with dimensions of 144.3 x 71.3 x 9.2 mm and a weight of 163g, available in Champagne gold, Mocha gold, and Marine Blue.
  • Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6737 chipset with a quad-core 1.25 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 3GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking and app usage.
  • The camera setup includes a 13 MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and an 8 MP secondary lens, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera serves for selfies.
  • A robust 4000mAh battery ensures extended usage, although it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
  • The device runs on Android 7 (Nougat), providing a straightforward user experience without the latest features found in newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers is notable, yet it retains a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the Eluga Ray 500 is a functional device with essential features for everyday use.
