Philips W6610 - User Reviews

  • Don't forget that you can format as card as internal and this will enable you to install lots more apps

  • I bought it from Estonia. Menu languages are English, Romanian, Russian and Ukranian. But somehow BIOS is in Chinese. It opens on random moments. I can even move on its menus.

  • It might be somewhat silly to review a phone, which is now practically impossible to get, because of its release date and place (Asia only), but I have to, because it was one of the best smart phones I've ever used. Until now. Three things on this phone were absolutely stunning. Battery, GSM and wireless module. Where others were without signal, my W6610 was still roaming around able to pick up the calls. And where other were looking for a charger, I was still running around deploying portals in Ingress. :) I mean those are the most important features when it comes down to phone devices. At least for me. No matter what the phone can do, it always relies on the battery power and the signal reception. I'm not so keen to charge my phone every damn day, or to run around hoping to "catch" the signal. I've bought it in October 2014 and recently (summer 2016) some flaws are coming up. First flaw was present since its beginning. For some reason my W6610 has only 1GB of internal memory, not 3GB, as noted here. For some time it was no issue, but as the new apps kept coming, the 1GB limit has been hit and that was it. You can move some apps to the external card, but not all. A flaw, but you can still live with it. The second one is more severe. For some unknown reason the phone started lagging. Apps are no longer responding the way they did in the past and even the power button sometimes fails to bring it up or to put it to sleep. This change of the response time came all of a sudden. I didn't do anything specific. It just got slower. All in all, for almost 2 years it served flawlessly. Once I have a new phone, I'll do a backup of my W6610, do the master reset and see if the performance will be resolved. If not, then the HW is probably dying.

  • I want to remove camera, is it possible or not.

  • Hi guys, I have really problem picking between philips w6618 and philips v387, please help me to choose

  • 1M RAM !!! disappointed :(

  • Philips repair records show the W6610 has an inherent error. Occasionally the phone will die when a picture is taken & needs components replaced. I'm on my fourth repair & my warranty expires at Christmas. So it lasts until it first fails out of warrant (about 2.5 months between fails for me, with 2 weeks to a month to repair), & is useless if you are not where a warranty can be used. The phone also has its 4GB storage split so 2GB can only be used for media. So in reality it has 2GB storage for apps.

  • Arnold;thanks for you information concerning this phone.Language is in English/Chinese only?

  • Get a laptop?What do you mean?To take the laptop outside and consider it as a Philips smartphone...?

  • This mobile is very fine.good camara and great battery life.one time charging its coming 3 days.I like it.....

  • Good mobile phone. It would be an excellent if the RAM is 3GB, 2.5GHz Quad core with same or more battery powered.

  • Muddymunk!Yes indeed it is a sad story what happened with Philips.The whole consumer electronics division of Philips is sold.

  • Exilant smart phone battery life is very good

  • Yeah... bring its to indonesia, please

  • Anyone tried the phone? 2GB RAM is better for heavy app right now!

  • In 1990s, when mobile phones were gadgets of the rich, Philips was a key player. Philips twist, Philips diga, Philips Savvy and the cute Philips genie. Gone are those days, Philips. Having such great lineage in the field of electronics, you failed to market your products well. Now, it is too late. Sad to see the plight of once upon a time great European electronics giant that invented cassette,CD and DVD.

  • Found this on ebay. anybody what do you think about this posting? Is it worth? i would prefer it, than one from russia. Thank you!

  • In the Republic of Moldova, its price is 265 $ USD

  • Nothing is impressive except battery, it's worth 12k max.

  • Nothing is impressive expect battery, it's worth 12k max.

  • Very expensive old configuration, except battery nothing is impressive.

  • Why all u noobs want a gorilla glass ? Man gorilla glass sucks!

  • OMG... battery?

  • I've bought my W8510 on Emag.ro in Romania (you need an adress of a friend eventually); I've also noticed that a russian seller appeared on Ebay, it should be ok in what concernes the presence of Google Market. You only have English though (me, for instance, I would prefer French, but in the end it's all right like that also)

  • which site??

  • Too good i am waiting such type of phone but it should be with 4g and 16 gb intrnal memory and gorrilla glas 3

  • Too good i am waiting such type of phone but it should be with 4g and 16 gb intrnal memory and gorrilla glas 3

  • I have the W8510, same specs, 3300 mAh battery, once a week charge. It works fine, fluidly, I do not feel the need to have the best specified phone of the moment. Pay atention if yoy buy on Ebay. I did it once, I received a phone with chinese software only and a chinese market (Baidu, I think) instead of Google Play, worthless if you do not speak Chinese. I sent it back and ordered then on a romanian site. This time it was adapted for Europe. No complain until now, I have it since february.

  • Where is this phone available for 9000 inr. Which site. I found it on eBay.com for USD 399

  • except 5300 mah battery nothing that makes it worth 399 usd. mediatek quad, qhd screen, no gorilla glass, only 1 gig of ram,only 4gb rom. nothing worth more than 199 usd. flop product. Why is philips behaving like an ostrich. Don't they observe and see the world around them

  • That Moto UI that you are talking about is the Stock Android UI.

  • This phone is avaialble for 9K....£90 or $150..touch is very responsive and looks are very similar to s2...awesome phone for yougsters or anyone who dosent want to spend lot...wants use heavy gaming and interntet...battery after 4 hours of gaming, 2 hours of music streaming on soundcloud and all day whats app ....still have 70% left..charging takes 180 mins ...but its ok...hope it helps

  • WOW This phone is not bad. but that 5300mah battery is amazing almost beats my laptop

  • There is an 2 mp front camera...

  • BATTERY Li-Ion 5300 mAh battery ...

  • Very low resolution for a very massive battery! And its a huge phone. I wonder when will it be available in my country.

  • Specs aren't high end. It seems it's mediatek MT6582 processor, there is already MT6592. qHd screen, not HD. 1 GB of RAM, not 2 or 3. It's too thick and too wide for flagship product. Anyway, I like the brand, and the battery seems excellent. Avialability is questionable, unfortunatelly :(.

  • Why no Skype video call, why?

  • Big sack of juice, love it, but...

  • Looks like HTC Desire Z.

  • 5300 mAh of battery?? :O

  • only the battery is good

  • buy one to my mather

  • Not only in Europe...

  • it's moto UI?

  • they are, but for the moment only in Russia, Romania and, I think, Hungary. Me I ordered a w8510 in Romania, more than satisfied about the phone

  • Why Philips mobile phones are no longer available in Europe ?

  • GREAT PHONE!! Very large battery but something is missing. 1.Front Facing Camera- The front facing camera should be at least 1.3MP or 2MP. 2.Android OS- It should be kitkat because of its high end specs. 3.Screen Resolution- It should be 720-1200 Resolution THATS ALL

  • Gud Mobile By Philips ..Specs Are Gud and Battery is Extemely Giant .. Ummmm I Can Play Games Whole Day ^-^ Hurrey

  • Bring it to Indonesia!!!

  • Great. If USA 1700/1900/2100 3G?
