Often, in order to reduce the cost of a smartphone, manufacturers save on functionality and autonomy. The result is good phones, but buyers constantly have to choose what is more important for them - a long operating time or support for modern games. This review is devoted to a device that will allow you to forget about the existence of an outlet for a long time. We are talking about the Philips Xenium V377 model. The reviews and characteristics of this gadget are impressive, but you should understand in detail in the review what are the advantages and disadvantages of the device.

Appearance and ergonomics

The phone is pretty sturdy. The quality of the materials used is good, the plastic is soft, but not slippery. Considering the weight of the device, there are several negative comments. They say that the phone can seem heavy. However, this is due to the large battery. The manufacturer says that it is better not to drop the phone, as the battery may become unusable. Users note that the back cover is removable, the latches hold it well. Also the device has good quality assembly. At first glance, the Philips Xenium V377 Black gadget does not give the impression of being cheap. If we take into account the color scheme, it becomes noticeable that the manufacturer did not deal with the issue of diversity in any way. There is only one option for sale - with a black body. It is framed by a red frame. All controls are located as standard, as for a state employee. The volume and power buttons are on the right side. Reviews of the Philips Xenium V377 make it clear that this is a great solution. The soft buttons located at the bottom of the display did not receive backlighting. If for some users this is considered a disadvantage, for others it does not matter. In general, the phone is convenient to use at night. On the phone screen, you can see another button that deserves special attention. We'll talk about it a little later.

The appearance of the device attracts buyers. It is minimal, but has some flavor.

Software

The firmware of this phone is not much different from the usual stock version of Android 5.1. Unless the icons have a corporate identity. If you want, you can change the appearance of the working screen and menu a little. This can be done using a third-party launcher, which is allowed to be downloaded from the "Market". But it should be remembered that, as a rule, such programs are too resource-intensive, so the phone may slow down. In addition, these applications can drain your battery quickly. Reviews of the Philips Xenium V377 confirm this. The firmware is well optimized so that the impact on the battery is minimal. The performance of the gadget is at a good level. It is sufficient to carry out common day-to-day tasks. Even though the hardware is not top-end, positive reviews it receives from buyers.

Gadget characteristics

Questions about the technical characteristics of the gadget are relevant. The device is a typical representative of the budget class. Most parameters have many modern gadgets inexpensive type. As central processing unit uses MT6580 chip. It has 4 working cores, each of which is 1.3 GHz.

A graphics accelerator works on the same crystal. It works great with simple games. Even though the performance is low, it is in use this processor and lies the reason for the long autonomy. Reviews of the Philips Xenium V377 fully confirm this fact.

Even with the fact that inner memory is 8 GB, in fact, only 3.8 GB is available to the user. This difference is due to the fact that almost all of the memory is occupied by the preinstalled software. We are talking about the operating system and the basic set of programs. The forums often discuss the characteristics and reviews of this device, so many recommend installing immediately external storage... It is advisable to buy it of a high class, not lower than 10. In this case, there will be no problems associated with long reading or writing data.

The RAM is also not impressive - just 1 GB. Such characteristics of the Philips Xenium V377 are really terrible. To work with conventional mail clients, social media and also with a browser with two or three open tabs such an indicator will be quite enough. The phone does not show good results in games, but it can easily cope with puzzles, casual and other similar applications.

Wireless capabilities of the gadget

Considering that the Philips V377 smartphone is primarily an ordinary phone, it should be noted that it works with the 3G module. Reception is confident, switching between signals of different generations is fast, the user does not really notice this. However, it should be noted that there is no 4G support. In addition to the basic functions, it is necessary to note the support of the Wi-Fi network. The module allows you to work with the Internet at speeds up to 150 megabits per second. Of course, if such a standard is supported by the router. With GPS navigation, everything is fine, the feedback on signal reception is excellent. Although it does not work as fast as customers write, it is quite suitable for use on the road.

If it was not possible to download your favorite music to your phone, then you can use the FM radio. Unfortunately, it only works with a headset or headphones. This characteristic of the Philips Xenium V377 does not please many. If you have music, but you don't want to use the wires, then you can take wireless bluetooth headset... This gadget works with a special module. This moment pleases many buyers, as written in the reviews. The basic package includes instructions, so any owner can easily figure out how to connect such a headset.

Performance in live and synthetic tests

Although the specs are low, the phone's interface works smoothly without any twitching or freezing. But buyers point out that it's best not to forget to unload background applications from random access memory... This will reduce the load on the processor and battery. Thus, you will have to connect this device to the outlet much less often. We will look at the characteristics and power saving function a little later.

If we look at the test in the Antutu application, then the Philips phone gets about 23-25 ​​thousand points in it. For a state employee, such a result is quite high, so I want to test it in games. Let's take the popular Real Racing 3 as an example. Of course, maximum graphics settings are not supported here. But on the minimum it is quite convenient to play, even comfortable. You can also connect a wireless joystick or keyboard to the Philips Xenium V377 phone (the red version does not exist - it is a fake). Customers often mention that other games play well too, so picking an app from the genres you like won't be difficult.

Battery and autonomy

As mentioned above, autonomy is key. It is because of her that many buyers choose this phone... Considering the impressive size of the battery, the capacity of which is 5000 mAh, the phone will last for two to three days at maximum use. Do not be afraid that it will be discharged at a critical moment. You can actively use the Internet, navigation, games and music. During the day, as a rule, from 30 to 50% of the battery capacity is used. If this is not enough, but there is a need to use only the telephone network and messages, then you should use the mysterious button on the left side. It was discussed above. It is needed to activate the energy saving mode. When enabled, the display brightness is set to the minimum level, all background applications in the Philips Xenium V377 firmware are disabled. The processor uses reduced frequencies for its operation, as well as all functions except mobile network are disconnected. In this mode, according to customer reviews, the smartphone can last up to a week. Of course, the term depends on the number of hours of conversation. If the phone just lies, then, according to the manufacturer, in activated mode it can last up to a month without recharging. This is what makes this gadget the leader in terms of autonomy in its segment.

Sound quality

The manufacturer paid special attention to the sound quality. This can be seen when listening to music both through the speaker and through headphones. The first produces loud and clear sound. The only drawback is the lack of depth of sound, as well as weak low frequencies... However, this is all a consequence of the low cost of the phone. The headphones sound good. The entire sound range in them is revealed as much as possible, so this phone is bought by many and singled out as a leader in the price category. It is advisable to choose a headset or headphones for yourself by ear. Considering the variety of musical genres, then, in principle, the phone shows itself well in any of the existing ones. But unfortunately, the earpiece speaker of the Philips phone has a small drawback. At the time of purchase, you should immediately check what volume level it has. There is a marriage in the party. As noted by the manufacturer, many models come with good volume. However, there are phones where the sound level is too low. All this must be checked in the store before buying.

Display and sensor quality

Even though this phone is an inexpensive device, no savings have been made on the Philips Xenium V377 screen. It is created using IPS technology. The viewing angles are excellent, and the brightness margin is also pleasing. The phone does not fade in the sun even in the brightest weather. Customers find that they enjoy using the device on sunny days. The resolution is 1280 by 720 pixels. For a 5-inch diagonal, this will be enough for comfortable work. The image does not look ragged or fuzzy. Pixels will only be noticeable if you look closely at the picture.

The color reproduction of the Philips Xenium V377 smartphone is good, although the display has a slight deviation to the cold side. Buyers, in principle, have no complaints about the display. The sensor is responsive. Multi-touch works with five simultaneous touches. The phone has a tempered glass that can withstand minor shocks and scratches. Need to use protective film no.

Main and front cameras

Cameras are what the manufacturer has saved a lot on. All cameras are of poor quality, so the pictures are unimpressive. Although autofocus is available, it is rather slow and does not help if the lighting is too dark. The resolution of the main camera is only 5 megapixels, the front camera is 2. good lighting, then the front one is needed only for video communication. A high-quality selfie cannot be taken with a Philips Xenium V377 smartphone. Also another positive thing about this camera is the presence of a powerful LED flash. Unfortunately, it does little to help when taking pictures in the dark, but it does a great job as a flashlight. However, it should be noted that the cost of the device is too high for conventional backlighting.

Positive and negative aspects according to user reviews

Most of the information in the article is typical manufacturer specifications. In order to understand whether this phone is really worth your attention, you need to consider the reviews that buyers leave. Let's divide them into positive and negative ones. The owners subtly notice all the pros and cons of the device, which allows us to conclude about the work this device... What are the positives?

1. Philips Xenium V377 display. It has a nice picture, good safety glass that can withstand drops and scratches with ease.
2. Radio module. It is powerful, capable of providing high-quality reception even in the most remote place.
3. Battery and autonomy. Every customer notes this plus. No one can dispute it, since the device works for a really long time. There is one drawback. It lies in the fact that sometimes the software incorrectly displays the percentage of the charge, but the smartphone will not work less or more from this. Therefore, for the energy-saving function and autonomy, you can put a solid five.
4. High quality case. The device has no backlash, the mount back cover at a good level, the plastic is pleasant to the touch, the device is non-slip. It should also be noted that the panel does not collect fingerprints. There is no need to purchase a case for Philips Xenium V377.
5. Interface. It does not have any finesse, unnecessary additions, the kit is minimal, so many buyers like it.

What are the cons?

1. Battery and autonomy, as already mentioned, is an advantage. However, when working with a 3G network, you may notice a quick charge consumption. Against the background of good autonomy, this is a small drawback, however, as a rule, this is found in all phone models. Philips Review Xenium V377 will help you to recognize all the disadvantages of the device.
2. Poor picture quality. Cameras are a global disadvantage, so many buyers note that it is simply impossible to use a phone as a camera even in good lighting conditions.
3. Touchscreen. Buyers write that there are often false positives in the lower corners. Also, sometimes in some phones, a reduced sensor sensitivity is noticed, but this is not a common problem. Considering that many people like to use films and additional glasses, the touchscreen becomes too slow, and it is uncomfortable to use the phone.

Output

As it became clear, the smartphone has excellent characteristics for a budget device. The Philips Xenium V377 (8 GB) phone is positioned as a device that is used primarily as a regular dialer with good battery... This phone is perfect for those people who often travel on business trips, as well as business people who need to be constantly in touch. The device quickly picks up the signal from satellites when using navigation mode. The performance will also be sufficient for this function. It should be noted that many simple games from Play Market work fine, but if you do not play at maximum resolutions.

Let's briefly talk again about the advantages and disadvantages. Philips firmware Xenium V377 is well optimized, it shows itself from the excellent side. You need to note that the software is not cluttered with unnecessary applications, so any buyer can freely use only those that he likes. If you root the device, you can remove all the factory utilities. It seems that there are not many of them, but still the phone has only 3 GB of free internal memory out of the available 8 GB. This is a significant disadvantage for many game and music lovers. The case is non-slip, matte, does not collect fingerprints, but it can be scratched quickly. Therefore, you should purchase a cover. If it is not in a specialized store, then it can be found on sites selling accessories for electronic gadgets. The phone is sold only in one color scheme, we are talking about black. The manufacturer did not bother about a wider range of shades. The display of the device is generally good for budget phone... It is covered with a protective glass. The price of Philips Xenium V377 is about 5 thousand rubles. In general, this review should show the buyer whether to buy this phone, many in the reviews advise this device.

The device should be purchased in specialized stores, and not on suspicious sites. So in 100% of cases you can get a high-quality device and free service during the warranty period. Before buying, be sure to check the integrity of the package, the performance of the screen, the sound of the speaker. The headset must be purchased separately. Playback should be checked before purchasing. Let us remind you that there may be problems with loudness defects. Therefore, you should carefully check the device.

Please note that the RED model is not for sale. If it is found in stores, then it should be understood that it is a fake. Don't be tempted.

The smartphone looks monolithic as a whole. The assembly really pleased us, although the back cover of this model is removable, but at the same time it "sits" so tightly that there is no hint that the case will creak. In use, the "tube" is comfortable, it fits perfectly in the hand, and the soft plastic is not slippery at all. This is important, because the weight of the smartphone is rather big, so it would be quite easy to drop it if it were not for the case materials.

The color scheme is unusual, the smartphone is black, the frames are red. It looks attractive and unusual. A bold design solution that attracts.

The navigation buttons are on the front and are not backlit. From the unusual, we note the button located on the left of the case. We'll talk about its functionality later, let's keep the intrigue!

The weight

Shell

There is nothing to say. The shell is very similar to stock Android 5.1. Nothing new. You can put your own launcher, but you probably don't need to do this, because the smartphone is not that powerful, so it can "lag" when using beautiful third-party launchers.

Specifications

• CPU

  MediaTek MT6580, Quad Core 1.3GHz

• Video processor

The processor is weak. Although in terms of GHz and the number of cores, such a conclusion does not suggest itself. However, all this stuff, paired with the Mali-400MP, works slowly. In some ways there is a plus, because thanks to this feature, autonomy wins.

Memory

Memory is not great. It is available here 3.8 GB out of 8 GB. The indicator is low, to be honest. If absolutely necessary, you can abandon one of the sim cards in favor of microSD up to 32 GB, since the manufacturer provided us with such an opportunity. RAM is also small, only 1 GB. With such a volume, something incredible from a smartphone is not to be expected.

Connection

Some may be disappointed by the lack of LTE networks. There is such a "sin" here. But often 3G internet speeds may be enough. GPS navigation works well, though not fast, but it works. Plus the presence of FM-radio adds to the device's karma. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 are also available here.

Manufacturers in the struggle for a buyer modern smartphones trying to reduce the price, they often save either on performance or on autonomy. The result is pretty good state employees, but you still have to choose what will be more important - a long run time or support for all games available today. This review is devoted to a model that makes it possible to forget about the outlet for a long time, namely the "Philips V377". Characteristics, reviews and much more are not difficult to find on the Internet, but figuring out which of these is true and which is not is quite difficult. We will try to clarify this situation a little.

Appearance and ergonomics

Smartphone "Phillips Xenium V377" turned out to be quite strong, the quality of the materials from which the body is made pleased. The plastic is soft, but not slippery at all. Considering the large weight of the device, due to the capacious and, accordingly, heavy battery, this moment is important, because falls are extremely undesirable. The back cover is removable, snaps well and does not dangle. In general, the build quality is excellent, and the gadget does not give the impression of a simple "cheap".

The manufacturer did not think about the variety of colors, so there is only one variation with a black case, which is framed by a red frame. The location of the controls is largely standard for state employees, the volume and power buttons are located on the right side. The soft buttons located at the bottom of the sensor are not backlit. And if for some it may seem like a minus, others thank the manufacturer for the fact that the bright key illumination does not interfere with using the gadget at night. On the left side of the smartphone "Phillips V377" has another button that deserves special attention. We'll talk about it a little later.

Software

The shell of the firmware differs little from the stock version of Android 5.1, except that the icons of some applications have been replaced in accordance with the corporate style. If desired appearance The desktop and application menu can be changed by installing a third-party launcher from the "Market", but it is worth remembering that such programs are often quite resource-intensive, and this can lead to a faster discharge of the battery, as well as a decrease in the performance of the Philips Xenium V377 smartphone. whose characteristics are already low.

The firmware is quite well optimized, which reduces the load on the battery, and the performance remains at a level high enough for everyday tasks, despite the hardware, which can not be called top-end.

"Iron" characteristics of the gadget

V this issue the Phillips V377 phone, the characteristics of which we will now consider, is a classic budget solution. Most modern inexpensive gadgets have these parameters. The MT6580 chip is provided as a central manufacturer. It contains 4 identical cores of 1.3 GHz each. The same crystal houses the Mali-400MP graphics accelerator, which ensures the operation of the interface and simple games. Despite the rather low indicators, it is in the use of this chip that part of the explanation of the good autonomy of the device lies.

For storage system files, as well as user documents, a built-in flash memory of 8 GB is installed. However, in reality, the buyer will see only about 3.8 GB out of the box. Such a big difference is due to the fact that the rest of the volume is occupied by the preset software, which includes itself operating system and a basic set of programs that allows you to use the phone "Philips V377" out of the box. The characteristics, reviews of this gadget are often found on the forums, and many recommend not to wait for the need, which is likely to arise, but to immediately supplement the memory standard card microSD memory. It is advisable to take them with a high class, not lower than 10, so that unnecessary system hangs do not appear associated with long reading or writing of data. There is not much RAM by modern standards - only 1 GB. But for working with several mail applications, as well as a browser with two or three tabs, it will be quite enough. In games, the smartphone does not show stunning results, but it copes with most puzzles, casual applications and other options from the "Market" without problems.

Wireless capabilities of the gadget

Since the "Philips V377" smartphone is primarily a phone, it is worth noting the support for working in 3G networks. Reception is quite confident, switching between networks of the second and third generations is quite fast, and the user is not particularly noticeable. Unfortunately, this state employee does not have 4G support, but this is logical, because it is absent at the microprocessor level.

In addition to the basic functions, "Philips Xenium V377" has support Wi-Fi networks in the b / g / n bands, which allows you to use the Internet at speeds up to 150 Mbps, if these standards are supported by your router. There are no questions with GPS navigation either. It may not work as fast as we would like, but it is enough for comfortable use on the road.

If you have not had time to download your favorite music to the device memory or to a memory card, then at your service is the usual FM radio, which, however, works only with a connected wired headset or headphones. If you have music and don't want to get tangled up in wires, you can use a wireless Bluetooth headset, since the gadget supports the A2DP connection profile for high-quality stereo sound transmission. This moment will certainly delight all buyers of "Philips V377". The phone's user manual, where you can find all this information, is included in the basic package of the model.

Performance in live and synthetic tests

It is interesting to note that, despite the low characteristics, the smartphone interface is closed applications works quite smoothly, without friezes and twitching. However, as already noted, it is better not to forget to unload not required applications from RAM to reduce battery consumption and processor load - this way you will less often plug your Philips V377 Black into an outlet. The characteristic, an overview of the energy saving function and performance with it is discussed below.

In the Antutu test, the gadget gains about 23-25 ​​thousand points, depending on the testing conditions. Quite a high result as for a state employee, urging them to test it with the help of games. As an example, the fairly common Real Racing 3 was chosen. Of course, no maximum settings graphics of speech can not be. But at the minimum salaries everything looks quite tolerable, and you can play even comfortably, if you wish, even connecting a wireless joystick or keyboard to the Philips V377. Reviews often mention that other games on it are quite passable, so it will not be difficult to choose the right genre among the many applications from the store.

Battery and autonomy

Perhaps the autonomy of this device is a key indicator that speaks in favor of buying it. Indeed, an impressive battery with the same impressive capacity of 5000 mAh is enough for 2-3 days of using the phone in active mode. You can, without fear that you will be left with a discharged device at a critical moment, use the mobile Internet, navigation, correspond in instant messengers, play games and listen to music. On average, 30-50 percent of the battery capacity is consumed per day.

However, if this seems not enough, and you plan to use only telephone network and SMS messages, the same mysterious button on the left side, which was mentioned at the beginning of the article, can come into play. She is responsible for enabling the energy saving mode. When switching, the display brightness decreases to the minimum, all applications are turned off and stopped, the processor goes into a low frequency mode, and all networks and functions, except mobile communications are disconnected.

In this mode, as the manufacturer assures, the smartphone can survive up to 5-7 days, depending on the number of hours of talk. If the phone just lies, according to the manufacturer, it will be able to spend 29 days without recharging when it is turned on. All this exposes the gadget in a favorable light for those who, due to their work duties, must always stay in touch or plan long trips and do not want to be bored with them.

Sound quality

The manufacturer paid close attention to this issue, it is felt both when listening to music through a polyphonic speaker and through headphones. The speaker gives a loud, clear sound, in which the only drawback, so to speak, given the low cost of the device, is the lack of depth of sound and weak disclosure of low frequencies.

The headphones also sound good, here there is a high-quality disclosure of the entire sound range, and this favorably distinguishes the "Philips V377" among other state employees, the reviews, the characteristics of which we are now considering. It is recommended that you choose your headset or headphones by ear. Depending on your favorite musical style, because this is the only way to achieve the most acceptable result.

But with spoken speaker there was a slight misfire. At the time of purchase, it is best to check if it has a satisfactory volume level. It seems that this problem is floating, and on two identical devices from the same batch, the speakers may sound at different volumes.

Display and sensor quality

Despite the fact that this smartphone is positioned by the manufacturer as an inexpensive device for communication, the display here is not stingy. The five-inch display is made using IPS technology, which provides the maximum possible viewing angles and a good margin of brightness. It does not fade in the sun, even in very bright weather, and is pleasant to use. In addition, the resolution is 1280x720 pixels, which is quite enough with such a diagonal so that the image does not look torn or blurry, and the pixels are noticeable only if you look closely at the picture quality with skepticism. The color reproduction is also pleasing, although the display has a slight deviation in the colder color gamut. Therefore, there are no significant complaints about the Philips V377 display, the characteristics of which we are now reviewing.

The sensor is responsive. There is a multitouch for five touches. It is protected by tempered glass, which is able to withstand minor impacts, and is also protected from scratches. Although this is not a "gorilla", but the quality is quite high, so the need for protective film pretty dubious.

Main and front cameras

At this stage, a nuance is revealed on which the manufacturer was able to save money. Both cameras are of rather low quality, and the pictures are appropriate. Although autofocus is present, it is slow and doesn't really help if the lighting gets a little darker than a bright sunny day. The resolution of the matrix of the main camera is 5 megapixels, while the front camera boasts only 2 megapixels. And if the main camera can still take a more or less acceptable photo in good lighting, then the front one is intended only for communication via video communication, and there can be no question of any attempts to make a high-quality selfie.

Perhaps the only positive thing about the cameras is the presence of a rather powerful LED flash. It is unlikely to be able to improve the quality of a photograph taken at dusk, but it does an excellent job with the flashlight function. This is good, but as for a flashlight, the cost is expensive, and for the item of cameras "Philips V377", the review for which you are now reading, gets one of the lowest points.

Positive and negative aspects according to user reviews

Most of the information provided in the article is still dry statistics or subjective opinion. More specific conclusions can be drawn based on feedback from users who purchased this smartphone some time ago. They subtly notice all the pros and cons of the device, giving us the opportunity to draw a conclusion based on their opinion.

Most of the positive aspects of this smartphone include:

• Battery and autonomy. This point has not been challenged by any user this smartphone... Yes, sometimes the battery indicator does not always correctly display the remaining charge, but this does not make the smartphone work less. A solid top five for a well-developed energy-saving function and a long battery life "Philips V377". Characteristics, reviews on which sometimes differ, are given below.
• High quality case. The good news is the absence of backlash, tight fastening of the back cover, pleasant-to-touch plastic, non-slip surface that does not collect fingerprints.
• A powerful radio module that provides high-quality reception anywhere, even at a distance from the base station.
• Nice interface, not burdened with unnecessary "niceties" and additions, a minimal set of preinstalled programs.
• Nice picture of the display, high-quality protective glass that can withstand drops and is not scratched during household use.

Among the disadvantages are the following points:

• Poor quality of images with main and front cameras... Using the phone as a camera is inconvenient even in good lighting conditions.
• Many users complain about false positives of the touchscreen in one of the bottom corners. Also in some devices from lineup reduced sensitivity of the sensor is observed. Any films or additional glasses also lead to a decrease in sensitivity, as a result of which the comfort of typing on the on-screen keyboard is reduced.
• High battery consumption when you turn on the 3G network, although a similar problem is observed on almost all devices.

Output

As you can see, the smartphone "Philips V377", the characteristics, the reviews for which we have just reviewed, can be positioned as a device designed primarily for communication through telephone connection or instant messengers, which has an impressive battery that allows you to forget about Charger and an outlet. Perfect for those who often travel on business trips, as well as business people for whom it is critical to always be in touch.

It can act as a navigator, picking up a signal from satellites rather quickly. The performance is quite sufficient to perform this function. In addition, even many modern games from the "Market" work without problems if you play not at the maximum graphics settings.

When it comes to mobile solutions from Philips, there is no doubt about the acceptable quality. And if we are talking about models from the well-known series, then we don't have to worry about their timing. autonomous work... Traditionally, the manufacturer approached the release of the Xenium V377 quietly. Everything here is purely to the point.

And why make noise? New smartphone Philips Xenium V377 belongs to the basic segment, in which we will not see advanced technologies and interesting features. At the same time, it is quite possible to get a device with a capacious battery, well balanced for everyday tasks. It is this option that will undergo our detailed testing.

Philips is officially represented in our area, so there will be no problems with support in Russia. The smartphone received one hardware modification: 8 GB of memory for data storage with 1 GB of RAM. As for the possible body colors, one option is offered - black and red. Well, the approximate price of new items is at around 9,000 rubles. It is already on sale in Russian stores.

Let's start the study of Philips Xenium V377 with brief description its specifications.

Specifications Philips Xenium V377

Judging by the characteristics of the device, everything is budgetary here, and nothing more can be said. The only joy in this case serves as a battery of impressive capacity. We can state that the minimum program to call the Xenium V377 a smartphone has been completed. All the elements necessary for this are in place. Only here the amount of memory for storing data could be slightly expanded. I wonder how the novelty will show itself in business.

Packaging and arrangement of Philips Xenium V377

The smartphone arrived for the test in a small blue cardboard box. The cardboard is thin, budget. But outwardly everything is neat.

On the surface of the package, there is a logo, an image of the device and basic technical information.

The box under the smartphone contains the following delivery set:

• USB cable - Micro USB;
• Charger (5.0 V, 2.0 A);
• Protective film on the screen;
• Documentation.

The quality of all components of the delivery is not satisfactory. Headphones, a case and other joys were not included in the kit. At the same time, according to the manufacturer, the headset should be included. However, in this price segment, you should not expect anything outstanding from the headphones.

Let's start an external examination of the guest of the laboratory.

Appearance and design Philips Xenium V377

Philips Xenium V377 is made in a collapsible plastic case. The entire front panel is occupied by glass, under which the screen is located. Initially, no protective films were attached to this glass.

The back is completely covered by a black plastic soft-touch panel. This material is matte and tenacious. The surface of the rear panel hardly collects fingerprints. The edging of the ends is plastic semi-matt, painted in a contrasting red color and stylized like metal.

If not for this bright edging, the device would have looked faceless. He just needs it. However, there is no need to talk about the obvious similarity of the forms with other specific well-known models. But if you wish, you can find the features of certain devices in it.
