Recently, a Chinese web site revealed a few images, which should show Philips’ new Xenium phone, modeled X800. It is a curvy candybar with a large touchscreen on its front, so it may be yet another attempt to take a part of the iPhone’s market share. There is no information on its specifications, but the phones of the Xenium line are known for their long battery life, so we can expect that from the X800. Obviously, it features a camera, WiFi, Internet browser and “a contemporary user interface”, as it can be seen in the photos. The Vodafone HK logo hints on a possible release with this carrier.
Philips Xenium X800 is not officially announced yet.
