Philips Xenium X523 Review

Score: 34.7 / 100

Philips Xenium X523 is a low-end phone, coming with a 2.4-inches screen and a 3.2 MP back-facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's advantages when we get into more details.

This phone has a small 79,87 MB internal storage memory, which might be adequate for basic users knowing that it also has a slot for an external memory card to store photos and videos.

Philips appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 4.12 ounces cellphone. The Philips Xenium X523 isn't a compact phone, taking into account that it is 4.63 inches long and 2.01 inches wide,but it just contains a 2.4 inches display. This cellphone is a little thick for nowadays standards, with its 0.59" thickness.

Philips packed this cellphone with a good level 2.4 inches screen, and a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, giving this cellphone a mid level image quality.

This cellphone provides 3G internet connection, supported by EDGE technologies. The Philips Xenium X523 supports dual sim so it's able to use two different phone lines.

The Philips Xenium X523 only has a 3.2 mega-pixels back facing camera. The Philips Xenium X523 can also shoot 220x176 videos.

This phone uses a 2000 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion removable battery, which is quite poor for a cellphone like this. Philips reports a stand by time of 1200 hs and a talk time of 16 hs for this device.
