Philips X550, another phone with impressive battery lifetime
The Philips Xenium family of phones has a new member, a candybar that will be launched pretty soon under the name of Philips X550.
Obviously, one of the new handset’s strongest points is its battery, which should last up to one month in stand-by.
Unfortunately, like most of the other Xenium phones, Philips X550 doesn’t have 3G [...]
Philips Xenium X810 comes with touchscreen, long-lasting battery
We’re not sure what’s up with all these Philips phones that appeared lately (X700, X530), but we’re not complaining. Especially since the latest handset, Philips Xenium X810, is quite different from what we’re used to see coming out under this brand.
The X810 features a 240 x 400 pixels TFT touchscreen display with 262K colors, and [...]
Philips Xenium X700 shows up
Only few days after we saw the Philips Xenium X530, we now have info about another new Philips clamshell: the Xenium X700.
Like most (if not all) Philips handsets, the X700 does not have 3G connectivity, so your data transfers will have to rely only on GPRS and EDGE.
However, there’s one big advantage that the phone [...]
Philips Xenium X530 specs unveiled, powerful battery on-board

Philips Xenium X500 is simple and useful
Philips mobile phones are known for coming with really powerful batteries, and the new Philips Xenium X500 is no exception.
This baby has a 1720 mAh battery that’s supposed to provide a talk-time of up to 16 hours or a stand-by time of no less than two months. Also, the battery should last up to [...]
Philips X800 Xenium 9@9 reviewed. Comes with 35 days of stand-by!
We probably won’t be seeing Philips X800 full touchscreen handset here in Europe or U.S. anytime soon.
Philips left the European mobile market eons ago and sold off it’s mobile unit to Asian investors. And they concentrated on selling Philips mobiles over there.
Well, it’s a shame. But noting prevents us checking out the latest phones under [...]
Philips 198 and 199 coming to Europe and Asia
A far cry from its incredibly sexy “edge to edge” touchscreen phone, the Xenium X800 e2e, Philips introduces a new low-end handset that’s as basic as it gets. Not only does this phone do nothing else but facilitate calls and text messages, it also lacks a camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and obviously, a touchscreen.
The Philips 198 [...]

Philips X800 e2e touchscreen phone now official
Philips has now officially launched its Xenium X800 e2e touchscreen phone, and successfully killed all the excitement riding behind it, as it is apparently lacking a lot of features that are in-demand nowadays. Toting only GPRS network support (Yes, 3G is a no-no and not even EDGE), 2 megapixel camera and ho-hum 2.9-inch screen, it [...]
