Panasonic VS2 Review

Panasonic VS2Slowly and surely as technology has advanced, cell phones have looked better on the inside and out, and that is especially true with the new 16 million color QVGA display that the VS2 from Panasonic sports. The phone comes as a sleek clamshell phone in three striking colors, Silver, Dark Brown and Pink. The tri-band (900/1800/1900Mhz) VS2 also sports a 1.3 megapixel camera and GPRS connectivity. Even better than having such a great LCD, and a decent camera and feature set as well as a nice design the VS2 is considered an entry-level cell phone, and thus will carry a lower price tag than certain other models.

From Mobile Burn:

Measuring 96mm x 46mm x 18.2mm (3.77” x 1.81” x 0.71”), the VS2 slips easily into my jeans pocket, and it will not weigh any pants or handbags down coming in at a mere 98g (3.45oz). On the front of the VS2, you will find the 1.3 megapixel camera perched at the top. The design is very similar to the X800, but this time the VS2 does without changeable covers. Unfortunately, Panasonic decided to keep costs down by omitting an external display. The indicator light flashes whenever a call comes in or an SMS is received, but this only happens for a few seconds.

One of the things that I think is a bit of a set back for this camera is that it does not support any external memory and only contains 32MB, which is more than enough for normal camera features such as address books and whatnot, but for taking images with the digital camera, or using the MP3 support that the VS2 includes, it is too small.

Overall the VS2 from Panasonic is considered a well rounded phone and one of the better phones from Panasonic, it has many features, and a great UI. The screen puts it over the top and makes this phone a highly recommended product.

  1. Got my VS2 yesterday and it’s fantastic especially in the limited edition (in NZ) pink colour.

    Unfortunately Sonic the Hedgehog and 3D soccer are not available for the NZ handsets. What we got instead were two 60 mins demo games - not what I was hoping for!!! This is the only downside to the phone. Takes great photos. So glad I bought it.
