Philips is taking its chances with the impressive number of Xenium cell phones that were launched in the past couple of months, because it might drive customers to madness and boredom. It’s a very well known fact that novelty is a great advantage for every cell phone manufacturer, if there’s a slight desire shown by the company concerning to the increasing of sales.

However, there’s another Philips phone prepared for its customers, and, as usual, it is targeted at the Russian market. It is called Philips Xenium X650, a slider phone that is similar to any other Xenium device that you might have run into as far as the battery life is concerned. The X650 is able to provide up to 8 hours of talk time and a month of stand-by time.

As for the list of features, it’s not too impressive, as it comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, a 2.4 inches 262K color TFT LCD display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, GSM (900/1800/1900 MHz), GPRS, Bluetooth and USB, an integrated FM radio, an internal memory of 30MB and a microSD card support. The phone measures 104.5 x 52 x 16.75 millimeters and weighs 133.9 grams.

It seems, of course, that the Philips X650 is aimed at the low-end market, so it will surely come with a very advantageous price.

The Philips Xenium X830 has shown its face for the first time sometime at the beginning of last month (June, to be more precise) and it then managed to make a very good impression on those who are into cool cell phones. As far as the design is concerned, the X830 won’t disappoint anyone, but the list of features isn’t quite impressive, because there are some features, considered to be must haves, that aren’t available within this phone. Such an example is the lack of 3G.

We have the official list of features at our disposal, but what’s even better is that we also have a couple of official pictures of this Xenium phone.

The features include quad band GSM connectivity with GPRS and EDGE, a 3 inch TFT touch sensitive display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, a 5 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, music player, video player, FM radio with RDS, an internal memory of 47MB and a microSDHC card slot to help you expand the memory with no more than 8GB. The phone measures 105 x53 x 15.5 millimeters and weighs 120 grams.



Being part of the Xenium series, the X830 comes with a battery that is able to provide up to 10 hours of talk time and 1.5 months of stand-by time. If you wonder about the available of this handset, we don’t know right now when it is expected to start selling.

As I said it many times before, each time I had the occasion, the Philips phones are very well known all over the globe for a very important aspect: their long lasting batteries. I’m talking about the Xenium family, of course. And the last Xenium device that I told you about is the X320.

Now, there’s another one in the spotlight, the Philips Xenium X630, a quite good-looking canybar that is expected to become available sometime during this near, in the next couple of months. Chances are high for this phone to start selling in the Chinese market at first.

Being a low-end phone, at the most a mid-end one, the X630’s main disadvantage is the lack of the 3G connectivity, which is a must these days when it comes to the most popular cell phones to be bought by customers.



The list of features includes a 2.4 inches QVGA display with 262k colors, a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth with A2DP, music player and FM radio, and a microSDHC card slot for expandable memory of no more than 8GB.

The most important feature consists of the 1530 mAh battery which is able to provide up to 12 hours of talk time and no more than 50 days of stand-by time. The new Philips phone measures 111.8 x 48.9 x 15.1 millimeters and weighs 118 grams.

Unfortunately, this is right about everything we know about the X630 for the moment. The details about the release date and the price are not available.

It seems that companies have many cell phones to present to the public in this time of year and they come with an offer we can’t refuse: they don’t give us one handset, but two or even more. So relax, guys, get your umbrella and a glass of Martini, laze under the summer sun and hear what they have prepared for you.

Philips, for example, is ready to “give birth” to two new cell phones, which were baptized before their release with the following names: C600 and W186.

Let’s talk about the first one, the Philips C600. The handset is a dual-mode one, which means it is able to work on two networks: both on tri band GSM networks (900/1800/1900 MHz) and on CDMA 800 MHz. A very interesting aspect consists of the fact that there are two different call keys which are dedicated to each of the two networks.



As for the features, it’s possible that you won’t be impressed, but here we go: a 2.4 inch QVGA touch sensitive display, a 1.3 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, MP3 player, an internal memory of only 2.5 megapixel (oh my God!, this is worse than my ex-phone, a Nokia 6170 with no more than 4MB of memory and no card support) and a microSD card support, for expandable memory of up to 2GB.



The second cell phone, the Philips W186, was designed for the Wo brand, of China Unicom. It comes with tri band GSM and dual band UMTS, HSDPA 3.6 Mbps, a 2 inch TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, Bluetooth with A2DP connectivity, FM radio, an internal memory of 150MB (decent, compared to the other one) and a microSD card slot for external memory of no more than 8GB.



We don’t know when the Philips phones will come out, nor the prices.

Maybe the Philips cell phones are not appreciated just like they would deserve to be, due to the fact that the consumers don’t have the chance to know very much about these devices. In the Western hemisphere, for example, the cell phone users are not very familiar with the Philips phones, but what you should know is that they come with a very important feature: the long lasting battery life. And, if you ask me, this is a fundamental aspect when it comes to a phone.

The Xenium family is well known for the fact that they provide a month (or more) of standby time and approximately 8 hours of talk time. And it seems there’s another durable device to be prepared to hit the market in the near future: the Philips Xenium X320.

As usual, the phone comes with an impressive battery life, but, in addition, it is equipped with FM radio, an integrated FM telescopic antenna, tri band GSM 900/1800/1900, GPRS/EDGE connectivity, a 2.2 inch QVGA TFT display, a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, MP3 player and an external memory provided by a microSD card support. The battery is an 1050 mAh one.

As you can see, the Philips cell phone isn’t ground-breaking as far as the features are concerned, which means it will be an affordable device.
