Editorial note

The Philips CTX598BK is a smartphone that offers a satisfying user experience thanks to its 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. The vibrant colors and intuitive interface contribute to a pleasant usage. However, the lack of video calling functionality may restrict some communication options, which could displease certain users. In terms of performance, the 1.5 GHz processor paired with 4 GB of RAM ensures decent fluidity for daily tasks. However, the Android 7.0 operating system, while functional, is starting to become outdated, which could limit access to the latest updates and app features. The 4000 mAh battery capacity is a major asset, providing sufficient autonomy for active users. Additionally, the expandable storage support up to 256 GB is appreciated, although the limited internal storage capacity may pose a problem for those who need more space for their apps and multimedia files. Regarding the camera, the model features a 13 MP rear camera with flash, allowing for quality image capture, even in low-light conditions. However, the 5 MP front camera may not satisfy users concerned about selfie quality. Connectivity is a strong point of the CTX598BK, with support for 2G, 3G, and 4G standards, as well as fast Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring smooth communication. The value for money is reasonable, but the absence of certain features like FM radio and video calling may diminish its appeal for some users.
