Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist
of the Philips Battery
Philips has unveiled several new wireless audio devices this week including the SHB5900 wireless in-ear headphones, TX2BT in-ear headphones, ActionFit Sports SHQ8300, and the Philips BT6600 Bluetooth speakers along with a few other devices. The first of the audio products is the wireless in-ear headphones SHB5900.
These headphones feature MusicChain technology that offers wireless audio via Bluetooth that allows you to pair two sets of headphones to one device at the same time. The headphones have 8mm drivers and the battery with like Philips 989803135861 Battery, Philips M4605A Battery, Philips IntelliVue MP20 Battery, Philips IntelliVue MP30 Battery, Philips IntelliVue MP40 Battery, Philips IntelliVue MP50 Battery, Philips IntelliVue MP60 Battery, Philips IntelliVue MP70 Battery, Philips IntelliVue MP90 Battery, Philips IntelliVue M8001A Battery, Philips IntelliVue M8002A Battery, Philips IntelliVue M8100 Batteryis integrated into the cord.

They have 13.5mm drivers and earpieces with superior noise isolation technology built-in. They also support MusicChain and have NFC for easy pairing. These headphones will launch in Europe for €119.99 this month. Philips' new ActionFit sports headphones are designed for active users to wear during workouts.

The battery is good for 5.5 hours of use per charge and the ActionFit headphones will launch this month for €119.99. The last new product is a new range of Bluetooth speakers including the BT6600, which is IPX4 certified for water and splash resistance and a battery good for 12 hours per charge. The BT3600 and BT2600 are also wireless Bluetooth speakers, but lack water resistance and some of the battery life of the BT6600 among other things. This line will launch this fall priced at BT6600 (€159), BT3600 (€79) and BT2600 (€59).
Performance from the phone is a mixed bag. While it has no issues running most games/apps as well as playing full HD videos, it still feels sluggish. Straight out of the box, without any additional apps or settings, the interface has sluggish animation effects and there's a noticable delay while launching apps. Basic navigation works fine, but each time you close an app or switch between running apps, you'll see a stutter. We installed Nova launcher prime and that fixed the issue to some extent.
The phone comes with a 13MP primary camera with an LED flash. However, proving that megapixels alone do not matter, the phone's camera performance is weak. This is where the cost cutting shows: daylight photos have soft details and washed out colours. Indoors, there is a lot of visible noise. Even the front 5MP camera has similar issues — probably good enough to view on the phone screen only.
Looks and build quality of the phone are the saving grace. It is lightweight for a phone with a 3,000mAh battery. It feels good to hold and the matte rubber finish on the back panel provides good grip. The 5-inch display is bright, has wide viewing angles and is quite crisp. It is one of the few 5-inch phones in the sub- Rs. 15,000 range with a full HD resolution. One thing we did not like was that the phone use dual mini SIM slots — most phones use either micro or nano SIMs, so you will have to use an adapter or get new SIMs if you want to use this phone. Overall, the Philips Xenium I908 has its share of quirks which makes it lose out to very capable competition from Xioami, Lenovo and Asus. If you have Rs. 12,000 to spend, we recommend extending your budget a bit and getting the Motorola Moto G (3rd generation) instead.
