For a year Philips did not offer any low-end models placing all its efforts on the middle-price segment. The majority of the devices were youth models. Having improved its financial activities the company has attended to its market share again and the easiest way in this direction is representing a cheap model for mass audience. So, Philips 162 happened to be this device.The design is traditional for Philips and the device converges on corners and that makes an unordinary impression. There are several colour solutions available. They are red, black, and silvery. The dimensions are comfortable as well as the weight (98×44.7×15.5 mm, 85 grams, 73 cc). A charger connector is on the bottom end and a headset connector closed with a rubber shutter is near. The phone has a strap hole. Just similar to any low-end solutions the device lacks side buttons. Silvery insertions that actually are holders for the back panel are on the bottom of the side surface. Having pressed on them and pulled you’ll open it. This construction is present in little phones and is unusual for ordinary users. The panel is fixed well thanks to the catches and it has no backlash. Some extra efforts applied when closing the panel are a disadvantage. One should be attentive.
There is no GPRS in the phone and access is got via CSD. The version of the browser is 1.2.1. No any peculiarities.The screen is STN and shows 4096 colours. The resolution is 101×80 pixels (30×24 mm) and that allows showing up to 3 text lines and two service ones. Font-size is large and that’s unusual for such a device but is generally characteristic for low-end phones (intended for children and elderly people). The screen fades in the sun but information can be read thanks to the font-size. Thus the screen is a representative of the previous generation.The device rouses no cavils in the connection quality. The volume of its 16-tones polyphonic call alert is a bit higher than average and slight loudspeaker noises are heard when the volume is maximum. The vibra is a bit more powerful. All the preset melodies are midi files.The device supports EMS, templates, SMS Chat. You may use T9 dictionary while input and this is all for the phone possibilities.
