Comparisons Featuring Philips W3500
Short Review
- The Philips W3500 features a simple design with dimensions of 142 x 73.6 x 9.7 mm and a weight of 170g, making it relatively lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU paired with 1GB of RAM, allowing for basic multitasking but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of recording video at 480p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 2200mAh battery provides moderate usage time, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated and may not support newer apps.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack, catering to basic audio needs.
- Overall, the W3500 is a straightforward device aimed at users with minimal smartphone requirements.
- Special features are limited, focusing primarily on essential functionalities.
