Editorial note

The Philips CTX600BLK is a smartphone that offers impressive battery life thanks to its 1100 mAh battery, allowing for up to 8.5 hours of talk time and 720 hours on standby. Its lightweight and compact design (110 g, 96.8 x 52 x 16.5 mm) makes it easy to carry daily. Additionally, it offers enriching audio features, such as a voice recorder and a wide selection of MP3 ringtones, as well as support for a memory card of up to 2 GB, which allows for increased storage capacity. However, this model has some limitations. The battery capacity may seem insufficient for heavy users, leading to frequent recharges. Moreover, the 2.2-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels may appear too small and poorly defined compared to modern standards, which limits the visual experience. The lack of a touchscreen and Wi-Fi connectivity may hinder ease of use and internet browsing. Finally, the absence of a front camera can be a drawback for those who wish to take selfies or make video calls. In terms of score, the user experience is fair (70), although ergonomics are limited by the lack of a touchscreen. Performance is adequate for basic tasks (65), but the 10 MB memory can quickly become a constraint. Battery life is one of the strong points (80), while the design is considered practical (75). Audio features are appreciated (70), but the lack of Wi-Fi and a touchscreen limits its appeal. Finally, the value for money is acceptable (70), but this model may seem outdated compared to more modern options.
