Is there life with a phone for <1000 rubles?

Hey.

Something has not been seen for a long time for good reviews, and I so wanted to try myself as the author of one of them) During my short life I had about a dozen phones. Dear and how you will learn from this review cheap. Meet Philips Xenium:


')
Key of those. data ( market ):

• Dual SIM support
• Screen diagonal 2 inches
• Support for memory cards up to 4 GB
• Battery capacity 1050 mAh
• Talk time 8:00 h: min
• Standby time 850 h

The first point is the support of two SIM cards, I don’t know how it was done, but I didn’t set up any redirects, but everything works fine. Both SIM cards are active in the full sense of the word. Throughout the phone, they are quite clearly divided: in the settings, in the messages, in the calls, everywhere there is a note of which SIM card is it.





The diagonal of the screen does not bother its small by modern standards area. SMS messages are read conveniently, I also do not feel discomfort when working with the address book.



There is no Java support, there are two pre-installed games: Fifteen and Robot. I have not yet used memory cards, I could not check how they work, but I think everything is standard. But there is a MiniUSB port, which also replaces the 3.5 headphone jack. These headphones are included.



It is fantastic, simple and convenient. Separate paragraph about:



What is worth talking about separately is the time of work, perhaps, those who charge their HTC Legend every day will understand me. Philips initially relied on battery life. And they coped with it. The phone worked without recharging for 9 days of my trip to Europe.

Results:

The advantages of this phone (and most likely the entire Xenium series)

1. Easy to use, built-in device "Antigik", also called "Phone Mom." The glass is half full, half empty - see point 1 of deficiencies.
2. High-quality support for two SIM cards.
3. Reliable My copy fell on the floor more than once, and nothing (Offtopic: Once I even had a chance to “wash” their headphones in the machine, nothing happened to them. Even better, they became like new).
4. Long battery life.

Disadvantages:

1. No App Store \ Android Market. No java support. And in general, this is not a geeky phone, Twitter does not put there (.
2. No wifi. Although taking into account the point of the 1st, he is not really needed there.
3. No synchronization with Google Accounts. The main reason for me to have a phone on Android is the synchronization of everything (contacts, sms, mail) with Goolge Accounts.
4. There is an MP3 player, but there is no standard 3.5 input, and only MiniUSB is present - this is an epic file, I think. Although he is charging him.

Yes, I’m finishing) I got the phone while I gave my HTC Legend to a friend, and was waiting for an iPhone, I decided to wait a little while with Apple, but I like this one very much. So the temporary phone turned into a regular one.

PS At the time of purchase - December 2011, the phone cost 990r.
PPS People, forgive me for the quality of the illustrations) I haven’t figured out how to put the light on normally, but I don’t know how to draw by hand. Just wanted to add something positive)

See you.
