Philips 198 Review
Score: 27.3 / 100Philips 198 is a quite basic cellphone, packed with a compact 1.5-inches screen. That's everything we have to say? Not at all, it's just the introduction of this in-depth review.
Philips appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 2.29 ounces phone. This phone is a little bit thick for nowadays standards, with its 0.53 inches thickness. This cellphone is 3.92 inches long and 1.65 inches wide, it just packs a way smaller 1.5" screen.
This phone has a mediocre 1.5" screen with a 128 x 128 resolution, which makes all photos and movies look like low resolution footage.
The Philips 198 has no cameras at all.
This phone works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.
This device uses a poor 800 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that provides this phone a quite short battery durationcompared to other phones. This phone has an aproximate 5 hs talk time and a 500 hours stand by time according to Philips.
Philips is offering this cellphone for 75 dollars, which is very expensive for comparing with similar cellphones.
