Communication and Battery Performance
The Philips Genie is designed to connect via GSM 900, a standard network technology for that period. Messaging capabilities are straightforward, with SMS being the only featured option. This simplicity emphasized direct, concise communication. The device has an inbuilt clock and alarm but lacks advanced features such as a browser or any positioning-related functionalities.
Battery performance presents a significant area of interest. The standard removable Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 550 mAh offers a stand-by time of 80 hours and a talk time of 2 hours. However, for those requiring extended usage, the availability of an upgraded 4000 mAh Li-Ion battery significantly boosts stand-by capacities to around 525 hours and talk time to 8 hours, enhancing its practicality for extended use without frequent recharges.
