Philips X809 Design and Display

Design and Display

The Philips X809 is a compact device, measuring 104.5 x 53.8 x 16.3 mm and weighing 128 grams, which makes it relatively easy to carry around and fit into pockets. The device's design reflects the functional aesthetics of early 2010s feature phones with a sturdy plastic body. It features a 3.0-inch TFT resistive touchscreen displaying up to 256,000 colors—quite standard for its time. The screen resolution is 240 x 400 pixels, which offers basic clarity and vibrancy but falls short by current display standards. However, the resistive touchscreen, as opposed to the capacitive screens common today, means users may need to apply slightly more pressure and may find navigation less smooth.
