Philips S396 Review

Score: 55.2 / 100

Philips S396 is a mid-level Android phone, coming with a pretty large 5" screen, a fast 1 GHz Quad-Core processing unit, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and an 8 mega-pixels front-facing camera. That's all? Not at all, it's only the introduction of a much deeper review.

This phone ships with a MediaTek MT6735P system chip, backed up by a powerful Quad-Core processing unit clocking at 1000 MHz and 1 GB RAM. A nice point of this cellphone is the 8 GB quite big internal memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, enough to install hundreds of apps without worrying about space.

Philips onlymade this phone in color 16 777 216. Philips did an excellent optimization job making this device weight just 5.33 oz. Though the Philips S396 only has 5.59 inches long and 2.87 inches wide, it still manages to contain a 5 inches screen. Being just 0.38" thick,the Philips S396 is thin and good-looking.

This cellphone has a good level 5" screen with a 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution, providing this phone with a very nice graphic quality.

This cellphone provides wi-fi capability (but it can't be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high performance data connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, that is a bit slower 4G network and the fastest 3G internet connection, using HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone doesn't have a sim card, because it's not a GSM enabled cellphone.

This cellphone features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and an 8 mega-pixels front side camera.

This phone also comes with a few useful features as Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone packs a 2300 mAh long lasting Li - Ion removable battery that provides this cellphone an average battery duration.

It doesn't matter whether you want a cellphone to play lots of games or are looking for a phone majorly for internet broswing and social networks, this device is a great option .
