Comparisons Featuring Philips W737
Short Review
- The Philips W737 features a compact design with dimensions of 128 x 65 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 172 grams, making it portable.
- Its 4.3-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 256 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4 Play chipset, with a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The Adreno 203 GPU handles graphics, but the overall performance may feel limited by modern standards.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, but it lacks optical image stabilization and only records video at 480p at 15fps, while there is no front-facing camera.
- The 2400 mAh battery provides decent longevity, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device features a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack, catering to basic connectivity needs.
- Overall, the Philips W737 is a straightforward device suitable for users with minimal requirements.
