Mobile phone Philips Xenium V387: reviews of the owners

This article will review the mobile phone Philips Xenium V387. He will please his owners with a sufficiently powerful battery. The battery capacity in it is 4 400 mAh.

In principle, such a capacity is not a record indicator. However, for an apparatus of similar thickness (and it is 9.5 millimeters) this is very, very good. Here the company Highscreen, for example, has proved to be smartphones with a larger battery capacity, which, respectively, work on autonomous power for a longer time. One of her brainchild has a battery capacity of 6,000 mAh. However, it is worth noting that this same model has a thickness of one and a half centimeters.

Design

If someone had experience working with the model W6610, then he immediately noticed the external similarities between it and V387. Both devices have almost the same body shape. Two faces - both upper and lower - are somewhat arched. In this case, the lateral faces have a rounded shape. It should be noted that the corners of the smartphone are also arranged. It is due to the fact that the outlines of the device are smooth, and the edges are not sharp, the device is comfortable in the hand, without digging into the palm of your hand.

Even though the battery capacity is relatively large, respectively, and its dimensions are impressive, the dimensions of the smartphone itself make up a pleasant picture in all three planes: 144 mm in length, 74 mm in width, and 9.6 mm in thickness. In this case, the mobile phone Philips Xenium V387 has a weight of 171 grams.

In the smartphone market, the device is available in black and white colors. In any case, no matter what color you buy the device, the replacement rear covers will be waiting for you. For example, in some cases, a black Philips Xenium V387 smartphone comes with a yellow replacement cover. It is worth noting one thing: these covers can be quite elastic, but even so they have not lost their strength.

View from the front and from the side

The front panel has a small edging. It is made of plastic (glossy) and is decorated in a black color scheme. Kant protects the display from damage if the Philips Xenium V387 smartphone is left on a rough surface.

The lateral faces are also made of plastic, but from a semi-glossy one. Plastic was also used in the manufacture of the back cover. From above they are covered with a small relief pattern.

Strength

In the address of reliability of the screen users of the device leave in most cases neutral responses. Philips Xenium V387 black has an oleophobic coating. Problems with the operation of the screen should not arise, as the finger on the coating slides smoothly, and fingerprints can be erased from the protective glass without any effort.

In the center of the device, at the top, is a speaker. It covers a metal grid of dark color. The volume of the speaker is impressive, but the quality of the signal transmitted over it leaves much to be desired. The fact is that there is a lack of high frequencies, while low frequencies, on the contrary, lack what is said, behind the eyes. Well, or for ears, as in our situation. Due to this, the interlocutor's speech will be a bit difficult to sort out.

On the left of the speaker are sensors, and on the right is the front camera. In the lower part of the front face there are buttons that are painted. Although the backlight of the buttons is, it is still not enough.

The bottom end holds the input type MicroUSB. There is also a primary microphone. The input for a 3.5 mm wired headset is integrated into the upper end. On the left side there are volume buttons, and on the opposite side there is a power button. Still slightly higher than it is a lever, due to the use of which the device can be put into energy saving mode.

The reverse side accommodates in its design the main camera recessed inside the case, as well as a flash for illuminating the subject in the dark. You can remove the panel without any problems, just by picking it up behind the notch on the left side of the face. After removing the cover, on the left you can see a slot intended for use of microSD-type flash cards. On the right are the SIM card slots.

It is worth noting the excellent build quality Philips Xenium V387. Reviews say that the phone does not crunch even when compressed, and does not emit any other sounds, and its back cover up to the battery does not bend under any circumstances.

Display

The diagonal of the display in this device is 5 inches, while it has frames. Its size in the upper part is one and a half centimeters, while from the bottom it reaches 18 mm, and on the sides - 5.5 mm.

In terms of quality display, nothing special users will not be happy with the Philips Xenium V387 Black. The reviews clearly demonstrate that even with a high resolution, which is 720 by 1280 pixels, with the slightest slope of the screen, the picture loses contrast. The phone simply can not reproduce yellow and purple hues. More specifically, the matrix, it has an IPS-type.

But in terms of sensitivity manufacturers tried to glory: a smartphone can react immediately to seven touches at various points of the surface. The touch screen has a particularly high sensitivity.

Food

In the introduction, we have already said that with this thickness, the smartphone battery has a fairly good capacity. To the Xenium line, which has excellent devices in terms of energy efficiency, is the Philips Xenium V387. Feedback about the autonomous power supply distinguish the model among other smartphones.

If you believe the data provided by the manufacturer, then in standby mode, the phone can lie down to 1442 hours. At the same time, you can talk all day without stopping it. And this is not said in a figurative sense: 25 hours of continuous work are allocated to telephone conversations. Well, it excelled in its self-powered power Philips Xenium V387. Reviews of his work, this fact is fully confirmed.

If we talk in more detail about this factor, then about 65 hours are spent on the continuous listening of audio files. But with maximum brightness of the screen and high resolution, high volume, you can watch movies for 13 hours. In terms of using energy while playing the smartphone can please 6 hours of work. This is very, very good.

Charging is possible either with AC power or by recharging from devices with a USB input. For example, from a personal computer or laptop. In case of using the electric network, the phone can be charged for 3 hours, while for full charge from the PC it will take three times as long.

Communications

Speaking of cellular networks, the model works in the 2G and 3G bands. The version of Bluetooth is 4.0. As mentioned before, the phone connects to devices that have a USB 2.0 interface. Wi-Fi supports the standards b, g and n. The Philips Xenium V387 does not have a special communication capability, the reviews say that sometimes the work of Wi-Fi in the standard a is not enough.

Memory

RAM has a capacity of 2 GB at once. Small "lags", "glitches" and other inaccuracies of the operating system are somewhat mitigated by using this size of RAM. In addition, the operating system is installed without any unnecessary shells, which allows the user to provide almost 1.5 GB for personal use.

In terms of long-term memory, the model will also please potential and real users. Its volume is 16 GB. 4 of them are assigned to the system, but even 12 GB for personal use is enough. If it is "cramped", you can buy a memory card separately. The maximum supported size is 32 GB.

Well, here, as in energy efficiency, the success of the Philips Xenium V387 Black is evident. Reviews in terms of memory do not contain almost no minus.

Camera

As you know, the device has two cameras. The main one has a resolution of 8 megapixels. Additional is also not bad, its resolution is 2 megapixels. On the back there is a flash of cold glow. The resolution of the photo can be about 3264 by 2448 pixels. Depending on the quality of lighting, the frame rate when shooting video falls in the range from 16 to 30. At the same time, the shooting resolution is 1920 by 1080 pixels.

However, despite such technical characteristics, the quality of the taken pictures is not very high. In most cases, the problem lies in the details of the photos, if the level of illumination falls. In this case, you can see the noise. We can say that the solution to the problem will only be the upgrade of the module.

The front camera should like those who use the phone Philips Xenium V387. Reviews about it are neutral, as it removes though and decently, but does not belong to a wide-angle view.

Performance

At the heart of the device is a Taiwan-made MediaTek chip. The processor has 4 cores, which work with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. The clock speed of the graphics accelerator is 400 MHz.

Ideal gaming device can not be called a smartphone Philips Xenium V387. Performance reviews show that in games with the highest graphics for mobile devices (and these are games like Dead Trigger 2), there can be "friezes", "lags" and so on. However, they do not happen so often, and in ordinary games you can play with interest.

Philips Xenium V387: reviews of the owners. Conclusion

Currently, this model of the smartphone is quite acceptable in terms of technical supply. Ordinary users can find smartphones for themselves and are more optimal in terms of price-quality ratio, but active users can purchase this device.

Due to the high capacity battery, they will be able to spend more time on the Internet, actively "surf" the web page, listen to music and watch video. The side should not be bypassed and a large screen diagonal. Due to this, reading the text will not be so difficult, and your eyes will strain less.

Most users note a good and comfortable design of the model, and in the minuses they record only not very high-quality color rendering and not very high quality of the taken pictures, because the "stuffing" of the camera assumes better photos.

The price of a smartphone is 10 500 rubles, which, in principle, is acceptable by today's standards.
