Design and Build
The Philips X712 was relatively compact with dimensions of 105.8 x 51.5 x 16.7 mm and a weight of 138 grams. This made it portable and easy to handle, fitting snugly into the user’s hand or pocket. The phone had a sleek design which was complemented by a sturdy build quality, typical of the era's mobile devices. It was available in three colors: Black, White, and Brown, allowing users some choice according to their taste. A notable feature was its dual SIM capability (Mini-SIM, dual stand-by), which was particularly appealing to users who traveled often or wanted to manage two separate contact lists.
