Don’t know about you, but I like the new/upcoming Philips X800. Yes, it looks very familiar / iPhone-ish, but this time Philips may have a global winner — it’s not hard to imagine this baby selling like hot cupcakes, if priced correctly. Specs wise, the GSM/GPRS (900/1800/1900 MHz) + EDGE device sports a 2.9-inch WQVGA…
Philips introduces low-end 198, 199 models for Asia and Europe
Philips don’t give up on the mobile phone market. Aside from powerful batteries, we don’t see them adding some (if any) important innovations to their handsets. But it’s not my idea to rant about Philips now that they’ve announced two new phones. With the 198 and 199 model, the Electronics giant is targeting the lower…
Philips working on an all-touchscreen handset?
Philips is reportedly working on an iPhone-like all-touchscreen device. According to PC World China, the still unannounced Xenium X800 will sport the so called “e2e” design, which translates into full edge to edge touchscreen. The information about the device are scarce at the moment. We know it should come with a WQVGA screen and a…
Philips Xenium 9@9j can use standard AAA batteries; Available in Asia
At this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Philips has demoed one of its latest handset – Xenium 9@9j. Just like the rest of 9@9 series, this one also has an excellent battery life plus (pause for the drums), it can also use standard AAA batteries as a source of power. To be fair, single…
Philips Xenium 9@9u slides through FCC
Well, well, well… the Philips Xenium 9@9 may not be the Asia-only thing after all. Especially, now when we saw it sliding through the FCC’s approval process. Somehow, it all makes sense. While on one hand we have phones with the growing number of features, on the other – people are more frustrated with the…
Philips Xenium 9@9 with battery that lasts 2 months!
Philips may not be a big name in the mobile phones business, but they are trying really hard. No, we don’t see many ultra-powerful smartphones coming from the inventor of the CD, but they do have some niche devices that are certainly appreciated among their buyers. One such devices is the Philips Xenium 9@9, which…
LG and Philips launch 2.4 inch LCD panel with 1mm bezel
Progress in the mobile world is measured in millimeters and judged by how many millimeters you can shave off any particular component. In this case, progress in LCD panel technology is measured in bezel thickness. LG and Philips have announced another industry first in their breakthrough “narrow bezel” 2.4-inch LCD panel. Designed for mobile device…
WillCOM teams up with Sanyo on AA-powered bare-bones mobile phone
WillCOM is always good for an interesting take on mobile phone design. We love seeing what the Japanese company is going to come up with next – modular, torch-light, headphoneswhat‘s next? Well, their newest concept is the fruit of a joint project with Sanyo – the AA battery-powered mobile phone that you see to the…
Philips 9@9W thin metal candybar
We haven’t heard anything new from Philips for some time. Is that about to change? It’s hard to tell at this stage, but their latest 9@9W model looks promising. No, it won’t bring some revolutionary features, except the Xenium-like high capacity battery. There’s also the 1.9″ 220×176 screen, dual sim card slots (very cool), stereo…
Video Review: 2 sets of Bluetooth headphones by Phillips
My never ending love affair with Suzy of ShinyShiny will never end, she can make something as utterly boring as A2DP headphones absolutely wonderful. I’ve yet to see a pair of Bluetooth headphones I would want to purchase, these 2 are no exception. The Phillips SHB6102 and SBB7102 are available now. [Via: Tech Digest]
