Philips Xenium X806 - User Reviews

  • Great battery life (other than that nothing good for this phone). The touch screen easily gone dead, it can last for around 6 months only. Fixing the screen cost 1/3 of the phone cost. So I gave up the phone after 13 months of usage.

  • No 3G, i felt without #G buying phone is not very useful

  • how can i remove the round dot and ring revolving on the screen? thanks

  • Hope to buy a Xenium X806 soon. Can someone tell me about its ability to open mail- g-mail, yahoo etc

  • are you sure,Grasu?

  • It is really a wonderful dual sim phone, good battery life the touchscreen is good even for a resistive one, but I've got a question, how to make the email work?? tried gmail, yahoo, mail.com and it just can't download any mail

  • able to interface with outlook to transfer all contact details into the phone? I mean all details for particular one contact such as a few phone numbers, notes, email address, etc...

  • stand by to 720 hrs means you just turn on the phone without using it to make any calls nor sms. 8 days using is normal.

  • You're wrong, I've just checked.

  • Very nice phone but it's not real "dual standby" (like Samsung). When you talk on sim1, sim2 is offline.

  • I bought it for around 2 mio rupiah or 200 USD. Best 2 mio rupiah I ever spent. Never regret every penny of it.

  • I bought this HP on January 2011, but the battery life just 8 days in normal use, less than two weeks. Is my battery normal or not? battery level 100%-50% = 7 days, 50%- 10% 1 days only.

  • bang batre nya kuat brp lama kl pemakaian standar denger2 xenium binatang abis batre nya kuat bnr ga

  • brp duit bang? thx

  • @ andre : it is available now in indonesia. Just bought one at itc kuningan.

  • regretfully not available in Indonesia

  • The 1st touch phone I got was the HTC Pure and I hated it. How would this phone compare? Also, how responsive is the touch screen? Thanks

  • The 1sr touch phone I got was the HTC Pure and I hated it. How would this phone compare? Also, how responsive is the touch screen? Thanks!

  • Day after day more happy with this phone. for sure the best dual sim mobile out and no doubt, the best Philips mobile ever made. Battery life ? You will not believe it, never seen that before, about two weeks in normal use

  • guys can anyone tell me if I can assign specific message tones to specific contavts in the phone book, rather than changing just the overall message tone

  • waaau,this is the car i have been looking for.can i know the price of this phone pls is splended.

  • absolute good mobile, no 3G but who cares. really bug free and fast software. you need a dual sim mobile....this is the one to buy.

  • I use this mobile already since 3 months, so maybe our jungle is more advanced than your fantastic town

  • Adding some more Philips Xenium X806 looks like Philips Xenium X830 and has similar specs. The difference being that Philips Xenium X806 is dual sim and X830 is single sim, They both have the same battery, and same standby time. how is it possible ??? if it is then why not make a tri sim ;)

  • Yes, there is no mention about this product on the Philips website. So seems Philips made the specs and then were contemplating if they can actually make it (DUAL SIM AND SUCH A WONDERFUL BATTERY LIFE) or they thought that it would not be able to compete the new upcoming products but seems this is not produced yet

  • picture and the specifications here for almost six months but can't see the phone on the market, I think philips forgot to produce this phone

  • buy it here

  • 90% ? lol, where do you live? jungle? btw i checked philips website and the phone isn't there yet. i kinda like it how people keep on commenting that they have such phone when they are not even in the market yet.

  • If you do not need 3G and 90% of us do not need that,in that case this phone is really worth to consider. very solid build, good bug free software,acceptable 5MP camera, good working dual sim card and almost two weeks battery life.

  • Official response from Philips customer care: "Pls "X806" can only handle 1 call at the same time"

  • switching sim card is not needed, but handling two calls one on each sim card I have no idea about that

  • Can someone tell me if this phone can handle 2 simultaneous calls, one on each SIM card? Can you call without switching SIM cards?

  • it is a nice phone.superb

  • really good phone

  • hello Woody. I checked the LG, but seems only FM radio.

  • so far I know there are phones with AM radio receiver. LG km335 and a sonyericsson, but for the last I forgot the type.

  • sms can be set to any mp3 on the phone or Mem card. But protection of one of the sim cards, I am afraid you can not do it

  • mini can you help ? does this hand set have password protection when changing from sim to sim (ie, I can let my kids use phone but give no access to my business sim). Also, can you customise sms tones as well as ring tones thanks in adnvance

  • AM - Amplitude Modulation and FM - Frequency Modulation.

  • the real lifetime on one battery charge is in the daily normal use of the mobile 8.5 days. mobile in use for daily call and sms , no internet accessed during that time.Not bad. I use 16GB card in the phone filled with 13GB MP3 and 1GB movies,all seems to work perfect. Good phone

  • AM means Aplitude modulation, FM means frequence modulation. In normal words that means that AM broadcasting can cover a much bigger area but the sound quality is much lower as FM. Hope that helps

  • this phone also support 16GB mem cards without any problem. just let you know

  • There are no cells with AM radio and also there will never be. The major reason is technically. As AM radio need a wired carbon antenna it takes to much place and consumes too much power (also too heavy ). Apart of that AM quality is far below FM but I guess this you already know.

  • official the phone had about 1 month standby time. In reality you can never check this as the given value is standby time and if you can let your mobile for so long in standby without using it you do not need a mobile I think. I just bought the phone last night, will let you know how long I can use it without charging. I heavy use the phone for business so for sure normal mobile users will reach a longer time as I do

  • just bought the mobile in China, honestly I paid 200 euro for it but it looks more as worth the money. very nice solid body in steel, good and easy GUI.

  • is it true that i heard this h/phone has a standby time about 2months?wtf dude..

  • man,thats rite dude..i also notice bout dat..but may i ask u smtg..what is the diff between these am and fm??

  • is there any cellphone out there that has a am radio station? its always fm station are only available in all brands. i like to have a am radio station. i like to hear more on news. guys all brands of cellphone pls invent this, to be unique to others. this is one thing to add your marketing strategies

  • philips can u make smart phone, we got bored with your "so=so" cell phone. Your products only excels in remote areas and the jungle, not in cities phuuiii......

  • Is Xenium X806 a 2SIM phone? Does it have a noise reduction system?

  • This Phillips Xenium phone is like a slice of cool from a cake of awesome.

  • no 3g, no OS, limited phonebook-call records-sms storage. philips, you are getting boring each and every day.

  • this phone is a dual-sim phone with 1 month standby time, official spec is out:

  • why the hell does philips make a crap phone like this when most people have never even heard of a philips phone. what philips needs is a cutting edge phone to get there name out there, not produce crap like this that every other phone company has been producing for ages.

  • What's the OS?

  • second boring

  • First! Boring
