Editorial note

The Philips CTS358BK is a smartphone that stands out with its 5-inch screen featuring a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing a pleasant visual experience thanks to its IPS technology. Its versatile connectivity, including Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 4.0, ensures fast and reliable communications, while assisted GPS and satellite GPS facilitate navigation. However, this model has some limitations. The internal storage capacity of only 8 GB may prove insufficient for those looking to install many applications or store large multimedia files. Additionally, the 1 GB RAM may limit performance when using heavy applications, leading to slowdowns. The lack of support for FM radio might disappoint some users, as well as the Android 5.1 operating system, which is relatively old and may not support some recent applications. In terms of performance, the 2300 mAh battery offers satisfactory autonomy, with up to 30 hours of talk time on 3G. However, for intensive use, it may not be enough. The phone's design is modern and sleek, but the screen, while functional, may appear less sharp compared to other contemporary smartphones. Overall, the Philips CTS358BK offers good value for money, with interesting features and effective connectivity.
