Philips Xenium S386 Review
Score: 56.8 / 100Philips Xenium S386 is a solid cellphone, coming with a 5" screen, a high speed Quad-Core processor clocking at 1.3 gigahertz, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 5 megapixels front-facing camera. Let's take a deeper look at what this cellphone has to offer.
It appears that Philips forgot about optimizing the weight in this 6.13 oz phone. This cellphone's thickness , 0.42 inches, is a little far from nowadays standards, but it still feels fine in the hand. This cellphone just has 5.71 inches long and 2.91" wide, but it still manages to hold a 5" display.
Philips designed this phone with a very good 5-inches screen, and a resolution of 720 x 1280 (HD), making everything look very good.
This phone ships with a very powerful 1.3 gigahertz Quad-Core CPU with a huge 2 GB of RAM memory. A nice point of this device is the 16 GB quite large internal memory and while it doesn't have an external memory card slot, it should be enough to install hundreds of applications, although it might not be enough if you are fan of the largest games available nowadays or taking tons of photos and videos.
This phone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 5 megapixels front-facing camera.
The Philips Xenium S386 offers Wi-Fi connectivity (although it can't be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ 4G internet connection, that is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and 3G fast data connection, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This cellphone doesn't have a SIM card, because it's not a GSM device.
The Philips Xenium S386 also comes with a couple interesting characteristics like Bluetooth, GPS and FM Radio, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
The Philips Xenium S386 features a large 5000 mAh Li - Ion non-removable battery providing this phone an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that this phone's battery is not removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to live shorter, while with such a great capacity you will probably discard this phone before that becomes a real problem.
This phone is probably the correct option it doesn't matter whether you want a gamer device, want it mostly for internet broswing and social networks or are looking for a work phone.
