Xenium has long been associated by everyone with a good battery and a correspondingly long operating life without recharging. The company recently introduced the budget new Philips Xenium W3568 and in this review we will see how this device turned out. The smartphone can work and has a powerful dual-core processor.

Philips Xenium W3568 has a discreet appearance, like most budget models. In terms of dimensions, the device is slightly larger than its competitors, due to more capacious battery. The upper and lower ends of the phone use matte plastic with a coating, reminiscent of the feel of a Soft-touch coating.

At the top of the front panel there is a camera for video calls, as well as proximity and lighting sensors and a speaker protected by a miniature mesh.

Below the display are touch control buttons and a microphone hole. On the right edge there is a button to turn the device on/off. On the left side there is a volume control. The buttons are quite comfortable and have a fairly large and distinct stroke.

The phone is assembled quite well, the parts fit tightly to each other and do not creak.

Phone size: 68×126.8×11.95 mm. Device weight – 137 g.

Performance and Software

IN Philips smartphone Xenium W3568 is equipped with the well-known dual-core MediaTek MT6572 chip, the bus frequency of each core is 1.2 GHz. The phone has 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory. The device is equipped with a Mali-400MP video module.

The smartphone has the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system installed. Among the programs that are initially installed on the phone, it is worth noting the convenient TouchPal keyboard and the Xenium Club app store. The phone also has Google services. For your price category, the device works quite quickly. The performance is quite sufficient for working with various applications, but games with high requirements may not run on this model. The phone transmits speech perfectly, the interlocutor can be heard loud and clear. You can install two SIM cards in your smartphone, since there is only one radio module, then when using one SIM card, the second one will be blocked. The smartphone has a high-quality Wi-Fi module, which holds the signal well. But GPS works with minor problems, searching for a satellite takes a long time, and sometimes the signal is lost.

The smartphone works in networks GSM standard 900/1800/1900, as well as on the Internet - 3G.

AnTuTu performance test.

Screen

The Philips Xenium W3568 model has a 4-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. The detail of the display image is good, but as for the brightness and viewing angles, this is frankly the weak side of the model. The image is difficult to see in the sun.

Camera

The smartphone has two cameras: front and main. The matrix resolution of the main camera is 3 MP, and the front one is 0.3 MP. The main camera can record HD video, this is a definite plus, but as for the pictures, although they are not of particular quality, they are quite acceptable considering the inexpensive price of the device.

Battery

The capacity of the battery installed in the model is 2000 mAh. The phone's hardware is designed to reduce power consumption as much as possible. This is quite enough for the device to work for about two days with average usage. When watching videos, the phone will work for about 5 hours without recharging. According to the manufacturer, the phone has thirteen hours of talk time and about 500 hours of standby time.

Conclusion

If we consider models in the price category of about five thousand rubles, then for the most part they are all inferior to the Philips Xenium W3568. By purchasing this budget model The buyer receives a phone that holds a fairly good battery charge and has excellent performance and functionality. From weaknesses The phone can be highlighted by the weak brightness of the screen, the image of which is difficult to see in bright sunlight.

The average price of a device in Russia is about 4,500 rubles.
