Design and Display

The Philips Xenium X530 showcases a compact and pocket-friendly design with dimensions of 99.1 x 47.1 x 18.7 mm and a weight of only 95 grams. This makes it a lightweight and portable option for users seeking mobility without the bulk of modern devices. The phone features a classic clamshell design, complete with a 2.2-inch TFT display capable of rendering 256K colors, providing a bright and clear visual experience for its time. Despite its modest screen-to-body ratio of about 32.1%, the display’s resolution of 240 x 320 pixels ensures a decent viewing experience.

Unconventionally, the device includes an external 1-inch monochrome OLED display, allowing users to quickly check the time, notifications, and other essential alerts without flipping open the phone. This feature reinforces the phone's practicality, ensuring users can stay informed at a glance.
