Features, Performance, and Reviews for the Philips V377
Philips V377's size
The Philips V377 is 2.9 inches (74 mm) wide, 5.7 inches (145 mm) tall, and 0.4 inches (10.9 mm) thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the Philips V377, it weighs about 190 oz (190 g). It feels a little heavy when held with one hand. It may tire your hand out if you operate it for too long a time.
In giving an overall rating to the Philips V377, while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.
The CPU performance of Philips V377
The processing power of the Philips V377 is comparatively low at 1.3GHz×4(Quad core). You'll most likely notice its lack of power when running games or playing videos. However, you shouldn't have any problems making calls, browsing the internet or using apps like Twitter or Instagram.
The Philips V377 only has 1GB of RAM, which is fairly low. The RAM is regularly insufficient, so operation gets unstable and jerky even when using apps that are not resource intensive.
In rating the Philips V377's overall operational speed, it ranks at the low end of smartphones. It will lag and feel sluggish even during normal use. In most cases, users will feel the performance to be lacking.
Philips V377's storage capacity
The Philips V377 has 8GB of data storage. This is fine if you mainly use email or social media sites, but if you plan to take photos and videos or play games, you should buy an upgrade.
Since the Philips V377 is compatible with SD cards, you'll be able to easily expand your storage capacity; you won't need to worry about how much internal space it has.
Philips V377's screen
The Philips V377 has a 5 inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.
The resolution of the Philips V377's screen is pretty much standard. It shouldn't be a problem for normal use, but it might prove to be a bit dissatisfying for those who wish to better enjoy their photos, videos, or games.
The camera function of Philips V377
The performance of the Philips V377's main camera is rather low with only 5 MP pixels. If you take a lot of pictures, then you'll likely be dissatisfied with what this camera has to offer.
The battery performance of Philips V377
The Philips V377 has a battery with a quite large capacity of 5000 mAh. Compared to other smartphones, the battery life of the Philips V377 is very good and will no doubt satisfy all your needs. You won't have to worry about the battery even when you use the phone to watch videos or play games for hours on end.
Overall assessment of Philips V377
The Philips V377's performance level is that of a budget smartphone. It's a bit too weak to use as a main smartphone, so if possible you should consider something slightly more powerful. However, it should be sufficient for people that only want to use the most basic functions, like making calls and browsing the internet, and for people that don't really use smartphones much.
