Design and Build
The Philips S396 presents a straightforward design with dimensions of 141.9 x 73 x 9.7 mm, weighing in at 151 grams. Its compact and lightweight nature makes it easy to handle and operate with one hand. The phone's form factor accommodates a 5.0-inch screen, promoting a comfortable grip, though the plastic build quality is basic and reflective of its budget-oriented nature. Available in black, it maintains a rather generic appearance without distinctive design features.
