Philips has a new dual-SIM capable phone in its offering – Xenium X116. We’re talking about a low-end candybar, which (as it’s usually the case with Philips phones) won’t be available outside of Eastern Europe and parts of Asia.

Philips Xenium X806 Block Mobile Phone

Tanya — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 10:34:40 +0000

Philips has just announced the availability of a new Xenium handset, the X806 model, pictured below and available in Russia right now, for about $232. The handset is a dual SIM unit, that draws a clear line between work contacts and personal ones. Of course, since this is a Xenium model, its battery will also last very long.

Speaking of battery, the power source of the handset should provide energy for 8 hours of talk time and up to 1 month of standby time. Also, Philip Xenium X806 comes with a 3 inch TFT touchscreen display, that supports both finger and stylus input. There’s also a 5 megapixel camera on board, complete with autofocus and flash, a multimedia player and stereo sound.

Philips Xenium X510 is a new dual SIM phone

Tanya — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 09:50:54 +0000

Philips is out with a new dual SIM phone, part of its Xenium family – X510. The all-touchscreen device is made for markets of Russia, China and other parts of Asia where this functionality (having two SIM cards working at the same time) is well appreciated.

Feature wise, we’re talking about a low-to-mid range handset, sporting such things as a 3.1-inch QVGA display, 2-megapixel camera, dual-band (900/1800 MHz) radio and a microSD memory card slot. In addition, there are few games pre-installed on the device, along with a media player, email client and I guess some web browser.

I still don’t understand why Philips doesn’t bring its phones to the Western hemisphere (ok they do, but very few models), especially those with dual SIM capabilities. I know few people who would really dig the idea of having such a device. Likewise, I also know people who would want to charge their device only few times a month, and Philips also has those kinds of phones.

Philips Xenium X312 Packs One Month Standby Battery Life

Tanya — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 11:11:02 +0000

What, you didn’t know Philips made phones? We imagine that you’re probably not the only one (there’s a few here in the office, too), and we don’t blame you. They don’t offer much in the form of “cool features,” and they’re only available in two markets: Asia and Russia. Sure, both of those markets are relatively huge, but that doesn’t help much if the phones being launched there are not all that noteworthy. Take the Philips X312 for example. There’s not much known about the device at the moment, and with the exception of the aesthetics, we’re not sure if there’s anything to know.

There’s another variation of this same device, too. The Philips X320 has a QVGA display, Bluetooth connectivity, an FM radio, music player, MicroSD card support, and it has a 2MP camera on the back. Now, if we were of the betting kind, we’d be willing to bet that this new version might be missing some of those features by the time it hits retail availability. After all, the X320 has them, and the X312 is a lesser model number. That shows us that it won’t have as many features as the other device. However, it does have a battery that will give you a one month stand-by period, so that’s pretty cool. Longer batteries are always a good thing.

The other device also doesn’t have 3G connectivity, so we aren’t expecting to see that on this handset, either. Again, it will probably only be made available in the mass markets of Russia and Asia, but there’s always a possibility that it gets leaked somewhere else, too. Is anyone out there interested in a phone that has a battery that can last up a month in stand-by? What do you think of its looks? Does it appeal to you?

Philips V808 Android Phone

Miko — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:33:53 +0000

What do you know; I have one more Android phone to show you today. This time it’s the V808 which happens to be the second Android phone coming from Philips. Hear that Sony Ericsson? Other manufacturers are launching more than one Android phone this year!

The V808 has been made official and it’s probably going to be available really soon in China from China Mobile. The V808 will feature a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen display, 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, microSD support, widget support and music and video players support. As you can see the V808 doesn’t come with any special features which means that it shouldn’t cost that much once it becomes available. Pricing details and arrival dates haven’t been specified yet and we have no idea if other markets will get this Philips Android phone anytime soon.

With all the Android talk today, what Android phone are you planning on buying?

Philips X806 and C702 touchscreen phones show up

Miko — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:53:08 +0000

More interesting Philips phones have appeared lately, two of them being the Philips X806 and Philips C702.

Both of them are touchscreen phones that will probably be released in China pretty soon.

The Philips X806 is a 14mm thick phone that comes with features like: 3.5 inch TFT display with 240 x 400 pixels, 5MP camera, Bluetooth, FM radio, 47MB of internal memory and MicroSD card support.

Unfortunately, the phone only has quad-band GSM/GPRS connectivity. Well, at least it looks good:

Next, the Philips C702 is a CDMA 1X phone that seems to be heading to China Telecom (it has its logo on it).

The features of C702 include: 3.4 inch QVGA display, GPS, 1.3MP camera, Bluetooth, 70MB of internal memory and MicroSD card support.
