Philips Xenium E182

Advantages: Battery life, a large clock on the screen, a good earpiece, you can clearly and accurately hear the interlocutor without any boo boo. A rough back cover will not scratch noticeably. No Internet. Loud speaker for a call, you can put your own melody from a memory card, large numbers when dialing a number. The phone doesn't look big.

Disadvantages: The font is average, it is impossible to exaggerate, when a call comes in, the caller's name is in small letters, but the number itself is in huge numbers. You cannot put a photo on a contact.

Comment: How did that call.

Advantages: long battery life. pleasant to the touch.

Disadvantages: menu ... to change the melody had to dig! ) camera. with an incoming call, I see the number, not the name from the phone book, it appears when I receive a call (maybe I didn't set something up), it's inconvenient.

Comment: Bought for hiking in nature. Lives up to expectations. The camera could only have been better shoved. and the compass is not enough! )

Advantages: Battery 3100mAh Flashlight call recording can be used as a Power-bank loud blacklist there is a notification indicator (on the right side of the earpiece mesh, blinking white)

Disadvantages: SMS memory for 50 pieces, you cannot put your melody on the SMS signal, one speaker per conversation and multimedia. not "notes" functions

Comment: I will write a short commentary review. In general, a phone is like a phone, Chinese filling and software with minimal functionality. This is not the Philips, Nokia, Motorola or Sony Erricson that were 15 years ago, on the menu of which programmers worked. In other respects, as the second phone is very good, although now I go with it as the main one while Xiaomi is under repair. For a month and a half, I charged it twice, and that was due to the fact that I once charged the smartphone from it. The call is loud, the earpiece is good and also loud, there is no effect as if you were talking in a barrel. The only thing that I didn’t really like was that the speaker is one for calling and talking, as a result, when playing songs and melodies, some low frequencies are cut off and sounds a little wild. There is also no separate volume for the alarm clock, in the morning you can become a stutterer. The volume is "loud" or "very loud". For a call ring and SMS, 5 melodies are available, the rest is a flash drive. You cannot put a melody on SMS from a flash drive.I liked that there is a function to record a conversation, though somehow it does not always turn on and does not record all calls, I do not know what this is connected with. There is a black list for 20 numbers. When dialing a number, the numbers are large and with an incoming call, only numbers are displayed in large on the screen, and the name in small letters, it would be better to do it on the contrary, it will not work for the visually impaired. I noticed that the lower part of the keyboard heats up when charging. The organizer does not have a "notes" function, if there is nowhere to write something. But there is an option to create an SMS, write a text and save it in a draft, it will remain there. The flashlight is turned on by long pressing the central key, the power-bank is turned on by long pressing the number 5. The diode in the flashlight is rather weak, but you can use any USB flashlight with the power-bank on and you will be happy. In order to display your music in the player, you need to upload it to the "My music" folder on the USB flash drive. The camera in the phone is nothing to say about it.

Advantages: This is of course its autonomy. Large buttons (although I don't know if it's worth it or not. It's more convenient for me) The screen is large (you won't have to break your eyes) and the font is quite normal. I really liked the phone to the touch, it's very pleasant to hold it in my hands. The ability to use the phone as a power bank, another +. Confident signal reception. Conversational speaker like + as well as -. You can hear the interlocutor perfectly and loudly, and you can be heard perfectly. Small + is that there is a blacklist, but it seems to be only 20 phone numbers. A trifle but not bad.

Disadvantages: Soooo. Firstly, this is a bluetooth connection (and a connection, too, in part), or rather, the sound quality in bluetooth headphones and a car radio tape recorder, sound like a bucket. With wired headphones, it is quite acceptable and pleasant to listen to. Regarding the bluetooth connection of the phone to the radio tape recorder (car) and the LG 2460 music center, there was a bobble, the phone sees them in the list of devices (it seems that it is trying or will still pair, as I understand it), but when connected, it says that there is no way to connect and does not connect. And to the bluetooth headphones - please) heh, although there was a philips xenium e168 phone, its sound quality in bluetooth headphones and these problems were not. Secondly, the small, well, not seriously small internal memory of the phone. I don’t understand if it’s possible that at least 64 megabytes can be made so that you don’t buy a USB flash drive for a couple of songs per call). Third, the speaker. It is both loud and clear, as I wrote in its merits, and when making music, it gets blurry and it is not very comfortable to listen to. I don't understand why the manufacturer combined the speakers into one. When contacting the official (or how to understand it) phillips community on the problem that it does not connect via bluetooth, I was told that it was not their problem that their devices were not connecting. It is a pity that the answer was not preserved, a little not so - but the meaning is the same. Overcharge. Why make a camera in the phone that does not shoot very well, from the word at all. Better, instead of a tick from the camera, they made a rocker on the side to decrease-increase the music. Here's another minus, although it's more for the sake of convenience. But in the player you turn down the volume with the middle (I don’t know how to call it correctly) joystick, and in the radio it’s already with the * and # keys it’s not quite clear how they came to this decision. And the back cover slams so hard that you break your hands or you can't open it without a foreign object (for me personally). Transferring files from a computer to a USB flash drive via a usb wire is not at all serious - the speed is on average 350 -450 kilobits per second, a couple of gigabytes of music can transfer 40 minutes to an hour

Comment: In general, I am quite satisfied with the phone. Nice solid phone. Now, if the quality of music on bluetooth was the same as in simple headphones, it would be great. And so this is the only thing that is depressing. The phone charges the phone by 10% in 20 minutes with a capacity of 3000 amp.h. 60% will definitely charge the phone to a full, not quite full discharge, with the same capacity.In the future, I can add more. But who needs a phone player (like me) but just a phone dialer - I think it's a decent device. If the manufacturer also removes the bug (with a new firmware, for example, but maybe I'm wrong) with the musical sound quality on bluetooth and the fact that it does not fit with some bluetooth devices, it will be cool.

Advantages: Good screen, you can remove the inscription insert the 2nd SIM, loud and clear sound, normal microphone, high-quality battery, event indicator, normal fonts, customizable menus, not very large for such a battery, comfortable keyboard and even a normal joystick. Good build, no creaks, everything is tight. Confident welcome. The cable is detachable from charging, it can be used to charge other devices.

Disadvantages: The camera is a complete failure even for the stated 0.3 megapixel, the pictures are always dark, the 50 Hz flicker is not saved in the settings, even a box or a couple of lines to remove the problem. Very easily soiled front part, collects all prints. No USB plug, will collect dust. There is no vibration response when connecting, not convenient when dialing. A very miserable notebook.

Comment: When I opened the box, I found a bold print under the glass on the matrix. At the same time, it is clearly visible that the box itself was not opened and the phone is completely new, that is, it was tried at the factory. It was too lazy to change, I had to open and wipe everything, there was still dust there. I have already lost my warranty (By the way, in the past, my friend had a similar problem with the E560. It seems that the place of production was changed unsuccessfully. So look carefully when buying. In general, for 3 thousand rubles, a normal phone for calls.

Advantages: - working time - fits comfortably in the hand - pleasant appearance - ringer and speaker volume

Disadvantages: - to write something with a capital letter in SMS, you have to scroll through several languages. As a way out, put a full stop in front of a word with a capital letter - after two weeks of use, the lamp of a missed call or message stopped extinguishing, you have to restart the phone - you cannot adjust the volume of the alarm clock, hits the head with a sledgehammer in the morning

Comment: In general, I am satisfied with the purchase. At a price too. I charge the phone every 8-10 days. There is a tablet for the Internet. With my poor eyesight, my eyes don't hurt.

Advantages: For five days, one division per battery charge. No Internet. No games.

Disadvantages: Too short instructions, insufficiently informative menu, they could sign icons. The camera does not work without a flash drive.

Comment: So I bought a phone for my 7-year-old daughter to go to school for 2850 rubles, there was a discount of 500 rubles. In general, not bad, there are no games there, the Internet, the charge is long, you can hear it in the phone and she hears well, two SIM cards. In general, what I wanted. I'll tell you how I coped with the missed call indicator, although there are no missed calls in the memory, but the indicator is blinking. I took another (any) phone, called and dropped it, then opened it on the Phillips, I look there are missed ones, well, I press OK and all the indicator stops flashing. For a long time I dealt with the pictogram in the form of a human silhouette with a minus. It turned out that this included a black list, there it is, by the way, for 20 numbers.

Advantages: Powerful battery, long battery life! The rest, I assume, all phones have: Two SIM cards, Radio, Player, Installing a 32 GB memory card.

Disadvantages: Phillips, an amateur technique.

Comment: Only for those who only call and do not want to often charge the battery. Powerful battery.

Advantages: microphone, speaker, keyboard, autonomy, good network reception

Disadvantages: bluetooth radius 5 meters, audio player sound 24 kbps, no built-in antenna for radio, microSD support up to 16 GB (according to the user manual).

Comment: on the bluetooth A2DP profile, the audio player started working on the third day after pairing the headphones

Advantages: - Indicator! (you can understand by the signal (mini-light) you received an SMS or a missed call, not including the screen) - Black list! - Keypad lock by pressing the "Red tube" again! - On / off by time. - Book search works perfectly (I haven't searched before, if you write in Cyrillic). - Fixed sms. (Previously, 2 or 3 sms were received if the text was too large) - Improved calendar with notes and explanations. - Lantern

Disadvantages: - The alarm volume cannot be adjusted. (The phone is for working people, the alarm clock needs to be modified!) - The cover is very difficult to remove. - Does not include USB dongle (dirt will build up). - 22 languages ​​/ formats of SMS input method ... What is it for? (You need to make a list of input methods so that the user ticks off which ones he needs). - When calling, the caller's number is written in capital letters and the name in small letters. (well, guys, who is now interested in the caller's phone number? If the number is not written in the phone book, then it's okay. You just need to swap the text variables, regarding whether a person is calling from contacts or an unfamiliar number: Unfamiliar number-large numbers, familiar-large letters of the name)

Comment: As a lover of dialers, I constantly communicate with a similar phone firmware. At the moment, the firmware of this model is the best among all that I have. But there is work to do. - It would be great if a menu appeared in the display settings - display the amount of charge as a percentage on the screen. So that in large print you can see how much is left, and not stare at the mini-battery in the corner. - It is advisable to give the opportunity to reduce the highlighting even less than it is. I have it at a minimum, but it's still light. - Probably better to remove the camera and make the price lower. - Increase the amount of built-in memory. To fit more SMS!
