Camera and Multimedia
For capturing moments, the Philips 399 was equipped with a single 1.3 MP camera capable of recording videos at 120p, which is quite limited by modern standards but acceptable for quick snapshots during its era. The absence of a selfie camera aligns with the less image-focused culture of phones at the time. Multimedia support was offered through an MP3/MP4 player, complemented with the ability to download polyphonic and MP3 ringtones, reflecting a budding demand for personalized devices without the presence of a 3.5mm audio jack, meaning users relied on Bluetooth or miniUSB for audio output.
