Affordability is the reason some smartphones are centred around and same goes for the Panasonic P85 NXT. The entry-level smartphone offers just ground-level specs and will suffice for basic day to day tasks. It is also quite portable with a small screen and sports an age-long design that brings back the dwindling capacitive buttons below the screen. If there is one thing you will get to enjoy profoundly, that will be the large battery inside the phone.

Design and Display
One thing is sure about the Panasonic P85 NXT and that is it looks like a smartphone from way back in terms of design. The smartphone has a 16:9 aspect ratio which makes it a bit broader when held and is also on a thicker side of 9.3mm. As it appears, the smartphone also brings back the trio of capacitive touch buttons at the bottom of the screen which is now mostly on screen. Available in various finishes which are the black, gold and blue colour respectively.
The smartphone community has gotten bolder featuring large screens with some going up to the region of 7-inch. This makes the 5.0-inch screen a bit of a midget and without the usual bezel shrinking which there is hardly any need for considering the size. At the end of the day, the smartphone only has a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution.
Battery and Camera
There is no denying that the battery capacity on this smartphone is the most attractive feature on it and also its edge over some of its completion. Sporting a 4, 000mAh battery with the low specs should get you through the day comfortably. The rest of the feature is very much the same with a Micro USB port for charging.
Cameras on this smartphone is not really the type to give you that crisp picture quality, it does make sense that it is so though checking out the price of the smartphone. Anyway, it does feature a 5MP camera at the front that also take part in face unlock and an 8MP camera on the rear side both equipped with LED flash.
Hardware and Software
Nothing much goes on in the hardware section and that is because the smartphone is totally budget in every way possible. It features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor which has four cores and an Adreno 210 GPU. The chipset is old and an entry level one at that which means you can expect a bit of stutter here and there as you go. In continuance, the Panasonic P85 NXT comes with a 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage space with an added advantage of further increase to 128GB. However, it doesn’t join the several other smartphones in the Oreo family, instead, it reaches back to last year featuring Android 7.1 Nougat OS.
Panasonic P85 NXT Pricing and Availability
The smartphone sells for about 36, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location.
