Next one on the list is - Philips W3500, again a Dual SIM (WCDMA+GSM) device that is powered by a 1.3 GHz Quad Core Processor and the Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system.

Coming to the last smartphone from Philips and the costliest in the range, the Philips Xenium. This smartphone has the most impressive tech specs of all. Featuring a 5 inch touchscreen with 540X960 pixel resolution qHD IPS display, the Philips Xenium phone is powered by a 1.3 GHz Quad Core Processor and runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS. The built-in superlative 5300 mAh battery gives enough power to run the phone throughout the day as the company claims that it offers 33 hours of talktime. This one is again a Dual SIM device (WCDMA+GSM) and comes with a 8 megapixel autofocus camera with flash support.
That said, we now all have all the basic features and tech specs of all the new smartphones from Philips. We believe that Philips Mobiles will have to give a tough fight to homegrown brands such as Xolo and Micromax to even stand a chance against its competitor Android smartphones in terms of tech specs. The company has a long way to go to reach a certain level where it can be called a strong contender.

Rajni Jain#-Link-Snipped-# - The strange thing I noticed is Philips S308 which is least costly out of the three has the super strong 1.7 GHz Octa core processor and other two costlier devices has 1.3 GHz Quad core, I am assuming this is typo and the costlier Xenium will have the higher processor.
Xenium is giving a super strong battery marking 5300 mAh, that has capability to last for 33 talking hours. I am sure this lone feature will force many folks (with heavy pocket) to look for Philips Xenium.
