Philips 290 Battery Life and Usability

Battery Life and Usability

The phone was powered by a removable Li-Ion 620 mAh battery, offering a standby time of up to 200 hours and a talk time of up to 3 hours. While these figures are quite low compared to contemporary phones with their energy-intensive applications, they were typical for basic phones at the time. The removable aspect of the battery meant users could replace it easily, potentially extending the device's lifespan.
