Panasonic VS7 review

Successor to the VS6, it is characterized, unlike the latter, by the presence of a small external screen. Multimedia technology and GPRS. Tri-band frequency and colorful interchangeable covers. Practical clamshell opening.

Design and features

The look is sober yet sophisticated at the same time, thanks also to the small external screen of the CSTN type (lower image reproduction quality compared to a passive matrix screen but with lower power consumption). 4096 colors for this secondary display and 96x64p resolution, while the main display reaches a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels for 16 million colors. Cleverly integrated antenna that keeps the phone's external bulk down to dimensions of 102 x 51 x 18.8 mm and a weight of 113 grams. The external camera stands out, catching the eye but pleasantly so, without disturbing the aesthetics, 2MP resolution (1600x1200p) with QCIF display. It features a lithium battery of 830 mAh that guarantees 430 hours of stand-by. It is a tri-band phone that operates on GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 frequencies. It has 30MB of shared memory and 2MB for MMS.

Integrated Bluetooth v1.2, infrared port and USB port included.
