Editorial note

The Philips CTV800GD is a smartphone that stands out with its 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen, offering a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, ensuring a pleasant visual experience for most multimedia content. Its modern and sleek design, with quality finishes, adds to the overall appeal of the device. The 13 MP rear camera with autofocus and flash allows for sharp image capture even in low-light conditions, thus enhancing the multimedia capabilities of the device. However, the Philips CTV800GD has some limitations. The internal storage capacity of 1.77 GB is particularly limited, which could pose a problem for those looking to install many applications or store multimedia files. Additionally, while the 1.3 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM provide satisfactory performance for everyday tasks, they may not be sufficient for smooth multitasking with more demanding applications. The nickel-metal hybrid (NiMH) battery technology may also not offer the same battery life as modern lithium-ion batteries. In terms of user experience, the intuitive interface of Android 5.1 contributes to smooth navigation, although the lack of support for the WAP protocol may limit access to certain online services. Overall, the value for money is acceptable, but users should be aware of the limitations in memory and performance before making their choice.
