Comparisons Featuring Philips V816
Short Review
- The Philips V816 features a compact design with dimensions of 111 x 55 x 13.9 mm and weighs 141g, making it portable.
- Its 3.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and a pixel density of approximately 292 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is limited with 180MB of internal storage and 180GB of RAM, which may restrict multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p@30fps, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1530mAh, and it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, the software experience may feel outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a miniUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Philips V816 is a basic phone with essential features but limited performance and modern capabilities.
- Its design and build quality are adequate for everyday use.
