The test Philips Xenium W3568 is equipped with a 2000 mAh battery. It works on the basis of dual-core MediaTek processor MT6572 running operating system Android 4.2 and equipped with two SIM card slots.
The smartphone looks discreet - a typical representative of the budget segment. In terms of dimensions, the Xenium W3568 is slightly larger than its competitors, which is due to a more capacious battery.
The side edges of the smartphone are slightly beveled, to a greater extent at the top and bottom ends, and to a lesser extent at the right and left. The upper and lower ends are made of matte plastic, which feels like soft-touch spraying. The front panel is covered protective glass. At its top there is front-camera 0.3 MP, light and proximity sensors, and a voice speaker, below is the manufacturer’s logo. Under the four-inch screen you can see backlit hardware touch keys and a microphone. It’s good that the manufacturer didn’t try to be tricky with the location of the connectors. Everything is in its place. On the right side is the power/lock key, and on the left is the volume key. The top end contains a Micro-USB connector and a 3.5 mm audio jack. On the back of the device there is a flash, a 3 MP camera, a multimedia speaker and the manufacturer’s logo. Under the lid is accumulator battery 2000 mAh, and under it there are two slots for SIM cards and a slot for MicroSD memory cards.
The buttons are convenient, have a clearly visible action, although there is one incomprehensible issue with the lock key. Often, after pressing the lock key, the device responds late, especially when you need to wake up the smartphone from sleep mode. This is annoying because sometimes you have to wait a long time for the device to respond. Everything is fine with the assembly of the smartphone, back cover holds securely and does not creak. The body has excellent rigidity. An unpleasant part of the assembly is that the volume and lock keys have noticeable play.
Operating system and shell
Like most state employees, Philips Xenium W3568 works on the basis of the operating system Android systems 4.2.2 Jelly Bean without any additional decorations or add-ons. Among the preinstalled programs we can note the presence of a TouchPal keyboard and Xenium Club. The last application is something like an application store. By the way, Google services presented in full.
Performance
The device runs on the familiar combination of a dual-core MediaTek MT6572 processor, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal storage. The frequency of each core is 1.3 GHz. The well-known Mali-400MP acts as a video accelerator. Once turned on, approximately 190 MB of RAM is available. Performance level is typical for an entry-level device price segment. The device works quickly. During everyday work, the interface is smooth enough, but there may be problems with launching productive games, but again, do not forget about the class of the device.

The voice quality is very good. The voice speaker did not disappoint either. The speaker volume and vibration power are sufficient to not miss a call. Like the vast majority of competitors, the device has one radio module. Therefore, when calling using one of the SIM cards, the second one will not be available. Wi-Fi performance deserves only praise, but with search GPS satellites everything is not so rosy. Satellites take a long time to find and are easily lost, but this problem occurs relatively often on budget devices.
Autonomy
In terms of autonomy, we expected more from the device. For a device running on the MediaTek MT6572 platform with a 2000 mAh battery, the results are far from impressive. The smartphone easily lasts for two days with above-average load.

Screen
The Philips Xenium W3568 smartphone is equipped with a 4-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 800x480 pixels and a light sensor. There is no oleophobic coating.
The maximum display brightness is 253 cd/m2, 50% is 178.5 cd/m2, and the minimum is 80 cd/m2. Subjectively, the display brightness is not enough for comfortable work in sunny conditions, and the minimum brightness, to put it mildly, is too high, that is, working with a smartphone in the dark is tiring for the eyes. The detailing is good, but the color rendition and viewing angles are not encouraging. The display test results can be seen below.
Camera
The smartphone is equipped with two cameras - a main one with a resolution of 3 megapixels and a front one with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels. Both cameras do not have autofocus. The main one is capable of recording HD video, the front one is VGA. The camera settings are standard. The quality of photos and videos of both the front and rear cameras is below average. Examples of photos and videos can be seen below.

Results
The smartphone turned out to be too ordinary. Of course, the logo of a famous company on the front panel should inspire confidence, but not everything is so smooth. Disadvantages in the form of better screen, cameras and relatively high cost are difficult to overcome with advantages, including autonomy. It is impossible not to mention the problems of mechanical keys and the incomprehensible thoughtfulness of the lock key. As a result, the smartphone can be recommended to people who value autonomy and support for two SIM cards, while other parameters fade into the background.
