Features and Functionality
The Xenium 9@9 was equipped with very basic features focused on voice communication and essential utilities. Notably absent were modern smartphone features such as cameras and loudspeakers; instead, it relied on a simple vibration function and monophonic ringtones to alert users to calls and messages. While it lacked a 3.5mm audio jack, users could still engage with the phone's composer feature to personalize their ringtone experience.
The phone's messaging capabilities were limited to SMS, with no predictive text input, making typing a bit cumbersome compared to modern standards. However, it did feature a WAP browser, a rare inclusion for early 2000s phones, providing rudimentary internet access suited to the simpler online content of that era.
