Philips S800 Design and Display

Design and Display

The Philips S800 stands out for its compact form factor, measuring 87 x 43 x 21 mm and weighing only 80 grams, making it remarkably lightweight and portable. It uses a mini-SIM and features a CSTN display with 65,000 colors, providing users with a modest visual experience at a size of 1.7 inches. The resolution stands at 128 x 160 pixels, which, while fairly standard for its time, offers decent readability for basic tasks. An additional external CSTN display also provides a supplementary platform for essential information, albeit with a lower color capacity of 4096 colors, which is suitable for viewing notifications at a glance.
