Comparisons Featuring Philips W736
Short Review
- The Philips W736 features a compact design with dimensions of 126.6 x 65.4 x 12.1 mm and a weight of 167.5g, 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.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 processor and 4GB of RAM, which allows for moderate multitasking and app usage.
- The 5 MP rear camera captures decent images but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 2400 mAh battery provides sufficient power for daily use, though it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, and it includes a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Philips W736 is a straightforward device with essential features for users seeking a simple smartphone experience.
- Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on core functionalities.
