Philips X630 review
Network and connections
A design phone that knows how to get noticed in any situation, without however proving lacking in functionality. The network receiver is a GSM Triband on frequencies of 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. UMTS support is missing, but it is nevertheless possible to browse the Web thanks to the internal modem with GPRS and EDGE traffic management. This way the HTML browser can open Internet pages without problems. To exchange files with other devices, Bluetooth is very useful, as is the USB data cable.
Design and features
Candybar with visual impact thanks to the aluminum design with decisive lines, which soften at the edges to offer greater comfort in grip. On the front, the glossy display stands out against a black background. It has a size of 2.4 inches and displays up to 256,000 colors. Images always turn out bright and vivid. Just below is the standard alphanumeric keyboard, with keys joined horizontally but practical to use. The feel to the touch is really good, thanks to the satin surface.
Main functionality
The proprietary platform is complete already in standard configuration. There are all the classic organizer features, such as phonebook, calendar, calculator, alarm clock and stopwatch. Java support also allows you to install additional software as desired, so as to best customize your device. Predictive text input helps a lot in quickly composing texts for SMS, MMS and E-mail. The purely telephone-related aspect is good, with speakerphone, voice recorder and multiconference support.
Entertainment and multimedia
The applications dedicated to leisure are also complete. In fact, you can listen to your favorite music at any time, thanks to the dedicated media player. You can also receive AM/FM radio frequencies. The digital camera, on the other hand, delivers good quality images, thanks to its 3.2 megapixel resolution. It is also capable of recording videos, to be saved on the 80 MB memory in standard configuration. If necessary, it can always be expanded via microSD cards up to 8 GB. The declared battery life is absolutely amazing: in Stand-by operation, autonomy is 50 days.
