Camera
The photographic capabilities of the Philips 298 are minimal, equipped with a single VGA camera. As expected from an entry-level phone from 2008, the camera may suffice for very basic snapshots but lacks any sophisticated features or clarity one might expect from modern devices. The inclusion of video capability, albeit rudimentary, adds a slight edge to this otherwise basic camera setup. The absence of a selfie camera highlights the era in which this phone was released when front-facing cameras were not a standard yet.
