Comparisons Featuring Philips S388
Short Review
- The Philips S388 features a compact design with dimensions of 131 x 67.1 x 9.1 mm and a weight of 136.5g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU, although it lacks RAM and storage specifications, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, but it does not support optical image stabilization or high-resolution selfies.
- The battery capacity stands at 1700 mAh, providing basic usage without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack, catering to basic connectivity needs.
- The absence of water resistance and stereo speakers is notable, as is the lack of HDR support on the display.
- Overall, the Philips S388 is a straightforward device with essential features suitable for basic tasks.
