Editorial note

The Philips CTX800BLK is a smartphone that stands out for its lightness and battery capacity. Weighing only 99 g, it is pleasant to carry on a daily basis. Its 1250 mAh battery offers up to 10 hours of talk time and 720 hours on standby, which is satisfactory for regular use. However, several drawbacks may hinder users. Its 2.8-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels may seem outdated compared to current standards, thus limiting the visual experience for those seeking more modern display performance. Additionally, the internal memory of 47 MB is insufficient to store many applications, even with the option to expand via a memory card. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity and a front camera are also notable weaknesses, reducing the device's appeal for users concerned about these features. In terms of user experience, the CTX800BLK offers adequate performance for basic tasks, but it will not satisfy demanding users in terms of technology. Call management features, such as call forwarding and call waiting, are appreciated and add some value to the device. Overall, the Philips CTX800BLK represents good value for money for those looking for a simple and functional phone, but it may disappoint users in search of modern features and a richer experience.
