Comparisons Featuring Philips W536
Short Review
- The Philips W536 features a compact design with dimensions of 127.5 x 65 x 11.5 mm and a weight of 141g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Powered by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 processor and 4GB of RAM, the performance is adequate for everyday applications, though it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The 5 MP rear camera captures decent photos but lacks advanced features like optical image stabilization and has limited video recording capabilities at 480p.
- Battery capacity stands at 1630 mAh, which may require frequent charging under heavy use.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Philips W536 is a basic smartphone with essential features suited for users with minimal requirements.
- Special features are limited, reflecting its release period in 2012.
