Philips will soon launch a new Android smartphone that not only has a big screen, but also dual-SIM capability. In that sense, the forthcoming Philips W8355 will compete head to head with Samsung’s Galaxy Grand i9082, which is a slightly better device.
Specs wise, aside from two SIM card slots – Philips’ baby packs a 5.3-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) screen, 1GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, while Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich is running the show. As for the size, it measures 147.679×10.9 mm.
Sammy’s phone on the other hand has a faster CPU clocked at 1.2Ghz (also dual-core), 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel camera, with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean providing the latest bells and whistles the platform has to offer. Then again, it has a smaller 5-inch screen with WVGA (480×800 pixels) resolution.
When it comes to availability, the Philips W8355 will most likely be limited to users in China and some other parts of Asia…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
