Short Review
- The Philips W9588 features a compact design with dimensions of 116.5 x 61.5 x 20.5 mm and a weight of 246.8g, making it relatively portable but slightly bulky.
- Its 3.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing decent multitasking capabilities for its time.
- The rear camera boasts an 8 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front camera is limited to 1 MP.
- The 2400 mAh battery supports standard usage but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, along with a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Philips W9588 offers essential features suitable for basic smartphone users without advanced capabilities.
- Its design and performance reflect its 2013 release, catering to users who prioritize simplicity over cutting-edge technology.
