Philips W6610 Expert Review Summary
Verdict
One thing’s for sure, the Philips W6610 is definitely a niche product. At a time when most manufacturers are aiming to better their displays, cameras and processing power, the W6610 looks like quite the outcast. It’s definitely not a smartphone you’d want to flaunt, and the large size and bulky weight don’t add to its portability. There’s a lot to fault Philips for here – the poor storage, average display resolution, mid-range processor and outdated operating
- Unbeatable battery lifeResponsive displaySolid build qualityGood primary cameraAlmost stock Android with no bloatware
Pros
- Bulky dimensionsJust 4GB of storageOutdated operating systemAverage screen resolutionOverpriced
Cons
The W6610 is unabashedly bulky, both in weight and girth. The reason for this is obviously its 5,300mAh battery, which is squashed into a smartphone-sized frame. With dimensions of 145.4mm x 74.1mm x 11.4mm, and a weight of 200g, the Philips W6610 is one of the heaviest handsets we’ve come across, although we should mention that it feels reassuringly solid in the hand.
Read MoreThe W6610 features a 5-inch IPS qHD display, which is not to be confused with QHD, a la 2K. The screen offers a resolution of only 960 x 540 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 220ppi. When devices even half its price are offering HD resolution, and the Xiaomi Mi 3 (review) has a 1080p screen, we felt Philips could have done better.
Read MoreThe W6610 offers an 8-megapixel primary camera with flash, and a 2MP camera in the front. The primary camera can take a decent daylight shot, but zooming in reveals a fair bit of oversharpening. Colours appear washed out in landscape shots, and the HDR mode isn’t much help either. In low light, images are grainy as expected. The camera can take a usable photo at night, but has some difficulty focussing. The 2-megapixel front camera is fixed focus, which means very often you'll end up with a slightly blurry result. It suffices for video calling though.
Read MoreThe Philips W6610 runs a very dated Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, with no word on a KitKat update as yet. Philips has stuck to a mostly stock UI though, with minimal changes and pre-loaded apps.
Read MoreThe W6610 is equipped with a quad-core MediaTek MT6582 chipset clocked at 1.3GHz. This is supplemented by 1GB of RAM and a Mali 400 MP2 GPU. This is a tried-and-tested combination on several mid-range Android smartphones, and performance was smooth and glitch-free overall. The device didn’t show any sign of heating up during our testing process, was responsive and handled multitasking well too.
