In the imaging department, there's a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, with autofocus and a single LED Flash. Also, add a VGA quality front-facing shooter.

Connectivity wide, the phone offers 3G, dual-SIM , Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS with A-GPS connectivity options and FM Radio. The makers have added a 1700mAh battery fitted inside. On the downside, the handset runs on the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Philips's new S388 seems to be an underwhelming handset, in respect of price and specs on board. There are a couple of fascinating phones you can consider under Rs. 15,000 price slab. The Moto G, for instance, appears to be a great option. Not only it is priced less, but the device offers better features and specs.
