Philips Xenium X2566 Phone Designed For Senior Citizens Arrives At Rs. 3,800 In India
Philips India has brought a special treat for senior citizens in India by launching an all new smartphone designed specially for the elderly. Called the Philips Xenium X2566, the new phone's most striking features include large buttons and big fonts that make reading messages on the phone and dialing phone numbers super easy. We believe this is a great feature for senior citizens as we have witnessed our grannies and grandpas fiddling with the complicated functionality of smartphones when using it for the first time. The candy bar phone comes in blue color with a 2.4 inch 320 x 240 pixel resolution TFT display. Let's take a look at the complete specifications list for the all new Philips Xenium X2566 phone and find out how it fairs for the price it is offered at.
The smartphone makes room for two SIM cards and a 16 GB microSD card. A 1630 mAh battery powers up the Xenium X2566 phone and offers up to 1128 hours of standby time and up to 24 hours of talk time. Another interesting feature of the phone is that of a magnifying glass. If the big fonts are not enough and your old man has a habit of using the magnifying glass for reading the daily newspaper, the Xenium X2566 smartphone lets you blow up the text of any reading material by hovering the display screen of your phone over it.
A high volume speaker amplifies the sounds to louder than normal so that those with an hearing impairment don't miss out on a voice message. Users can also turn their Philips phone into a handy compact flashlight even when the phone is turned off, just by hitting the dedicated switch. Another simple button lets you eliminate the usual multiple steps required to lock and unlock this handset. Moreover, as you can see from the image above, the keypad on the phone comes in English/Hindi input modes - a great advantage for the non-English speaking thousands in India. Apart from these specs, the connectivity features of the phone include Bluetooth 2.1 and a mini USB connector.
That said, we find the phone's price in India at Rs. 3,288 justified and find that the phone's launch this Diwali season could attract a lot of prospective buyers. What are your thoughts? Share with us in comments below.
