Philips Xenium V387 – Introduction
The company Philips (for the most demanding – Chinese company China Electronics Corporation) released a new smartphone operating system Google Android. At this time appeared Xenium series with battery unit, the capacity of 4400 mAh which is. Of course, do not record levels, but it is not bad, considering the thickness of the device – about 9.5 mm. For example, there Highscreen with battery 6000 mAh on, but this giant shell thickness of about 15 mm. So there is nothing to compare.
Still complete with V387 + you will find additional cap on the back side of a cheerful yellow.
The rest of the gadget is quite usual specifications: five-inch HD screen, 4 cores from MTK, 2 GB of RAM and 8 MP camera.
P.S. It is strange that the model name begins with «V», usually on Android smartphones from the company are present Phillips «W», «S» and «I». Last time «V» V816 saw on Windows Mobile …
Philips Xenium V387 – Design, size, controls
Appearance of the device V387 gadget resembles the same company – W6610. They have approximately the same shape of the case: the upper and lower bounds are slightly curved, sides rounded, have the same shape and angles. Gadget V387 pleasure to hold in your hand just due to mild and smooth outlines of faces.
Dimensions given the impressive size and battery capacity is relatively compact – 144x74x9.6 mm and weighs 171 grams. Even the coolest Motorola Droid Turbo thicker – 11.5 mm, although there is a battery on a 3900 mAh.
In sale two colors: white and black. And in the first and second cases in the kit you will find a removable cap for the rear. In the box with a black cap Philips was yellow, very thin, but sturdy and flexible.
Thin edge on the front panel forming a side, is made of glossy black plastic. It protects the screen from horizontal surface roughness, which put V387. Side faces – semi-gloss black. The rear cover is made of plastic, the top covered with “soft touch” layer, there is a small relief pattern in the form of a fine mesh. Soft to the touch like rubber.
Display surface is protected by glass. According to some reports, used glass Gorilla Glass. In fact – all the same, more importantly, that during the use of any scratches appeared. Oleophobic coating is. I can not say that it is good, but no problems: prints easily erased from the display and finger glides over it.
Top center is earpiece covered with a dark metallic mesh. Its volume is slightly above average, legibility is not the best: the interlocutor can hear like “boomy”, too much bass and not enough treble. The right of the speaker – the front camera, on the left – an indicator of missed events and various sensors.
The buttons at the bottom of a white semi-transparent paint applied. Illumination is, it dull.
At the bottom end – micro-USB and the main microphone on the top – only 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones.
Left – the volume rocker (flat, thin with a vague progress “down”), on the right – the power button (hear a soft click when pressed, move the minimum), and is located just above the lever to put the device into power-saving mode.
On the reverse side of the machine: the camera, recessed, LED flash Simplex cold light, a speaker at the bottom.
To remove the socket, it is necessary to pry the recess on the left side. Under the cover on the left is a connector for microSD-card, on the right (one above the other) – slots for installations miniSIM.
The case is assembled perfectly: in the hands of creaks and crunches under compression, the rear socket does not bend to the battery.
Philips Xenium V387 – Display
The smartphone Philips Xenium V387 has a screen diagonal is 5 inches. Top frame – 15 mm, bottom – 18 mm, and right left – 5.5 mm.
Matrix is IPS technology, resolution – 720h1280 points, density – 293 pixels per inch. Viewing angles are wide, tilted screen picture becomes slightly whitish, purple and yellow hues not.
Capacitive sensor layer 7 fulfills simultaneous touches. Sensitivity “stitch” high.
The maximum brightness of white color – 421 cd / m2, the minimum brightness white – 33 cd / m2 maximum brightness in black – 0.62 cd / m2, the minimum brightness black – 0.05 cd / m2. Contrast ratio of 680: 1, the average temperature – 8000 K. According to the chart, is dominated by blue and green colors, red is much less.
In general, the display is quite good, a little lacking color saturation.
Philips Xenium V387 – Battery
As smartphone refers to a series of Xenium, complete expectedly find the battery with high capacity. At this time, the manufacturer is not stingy – 4400 mAh. According to official figures, the unit “lives” in standby mode 1442 hours of talk time and can work up to 25 hours. As always – impressive.
If you use the phone approximately 40 hours, the battery is fully discharged, provided: 30-40 minutes a day, 8 hours on Wi-Fi-internet (Twitter, e-mail, downloading applications and installing them), about 7 o’clock mobile internet and a couple of hours listening to music.
Listen to music only possible within 65 hours, only to watch the video (maximum brightness, high volume, resolution film – FHD, format MKV) a little less than 13 hours. If you want to play with toys (such as Dead Trigger 2), the energy also do not have to save – the battery becomes exhausted after only 6:00!
Summary: count for the week, if you only talk and write SMS, for 2-3 days at a not very active “Uzes” and one day, if you put the brightness to its maximum value.
From the USB battery is being charged for 9 hours, from the power adapter – 3 – 3.5 hours.
Philips Xenium V387 – Communication capabilities
Like most modern low-cost devices, Philips V387 only works in 2G and 3G, in addition, the gadget is equipped with two slots for SIM-card. There is Bluetooth version 4.0, Wi-Fi b / g / n and USB 2.0.
With a GPS so good: in a week to use the machine no problems, excellent sensitivity.
Philips Xenium V387 – Memory and memory card
In this model, all grown-up: inside is 2 GB! Apparently, due to so many opportunities for small volume smoothed braking system.
2 GB free about 1.4 GB – again thanks to the “naked” version of Android without shells, load on the system.
Another good news for you will be the amount of internal memory – 16 GB. True, you will get around 12 GB. Have memory card slot microSD, the maximum amount – 32 GB.
Philips Xenium V387 – Camera
The device is supplied with two camera modules: basic 8 MP, 2 MP front. Present Simplex LED flash. Maximum resolution photos – 3264h2448 pixels, video – 1920×1080 pixels (16-30 frames per second, depending on the level of illumination). Aperture main camera – F2, the focal length – 35 mm, the front – F2.8 (35 mm).
Despite a decent aperture value, the average quality of the photos. The main claims to detail, especially when the light level is reduced: crawl artifacts, muddy color noise and so on. The dynamic range is also not the best. In general, cool optics and the module is extremely weak.
Video is recorded in the resolution of FHD. Frame rate “jumps”: night – 16 frames per second, in the evening – 20-25, in the afternoon – 30. The picture quality is weak. Mono sound.
The front camera is not wide-angle, but takes a more or less well.

Resolution: 1920 x 1080, 30 f / s

Philips Xenium V387 – Performance and software platform
In most of these devices should Taiwanese chip MediaTek. Smartphone Philips Xenium V387 is no exception. It recently used the most common among the “public sector” chip MT6582: CPU Cortex-A7, 28 nm, 4 cores at 1.3 GHz, graphics accelerator Mali-400MP2 with clock frequency of 400 MHz.
For comfortable operation of the processor is more than enough. With games there is a small problem (mostly small lags and freezes), but only with powerful type Dead Trigger 2 graphics at full “reel”. The device is not buggy, does not slow down, running relatively smoothly.
Philips Xenium V387 – Multimedia
Music Player usual, third-party applications in this device is not. Polyphonic speaker volume is low, mostly mid-range frequencies are heard, the sound is clear.
The headphone volume is high, there is no congestion. Quality I did not like: despite the clear treble and more or less well-developed medium, low frequencies not at all, even after installation, for example, PowerAMP became better not.
Standard video player. Below – screenshots of the program to test the smartphone able to play video and audio in different formats.
Philips Xenium V387 – Conclusion
The device turned out quite balanced, cheerful processor, plenty of RAM, a good screen, nice appearance, removable panels in the set. A little disappointed camera and sound through the headphones. However, I believe that V387 will not buy for the musical and photographic opportunities, but for the fact that it is equipped with a powerful battery of 4400 mAh on.
