Dual SIM Philips W8355 coming soon with 5.3-inch screen and Android 4.0 ICS

Despite being a “premium” brand name in the tech world, having annual revenue in the order of tens of billions of dollars and an effective of worldwide employees of over 100,000 people, Philips has never been what you’d call Android-friendly.
We’ve only seen a couple of low-end phones and tablets from the Dutch-based multinational electronics company over the years (and we do mean low-end), as well as one or two media players that are as fashionable now as crocs.
But as tough as trying to penetrate the ultra-competitive Android market from the position of a newcomer might be these days, Philips seems all set to unveil the company’s first (half) decent smartphone.
The W8355 has been spotted online by the good folks over at Unwired View and should see daylight soon as one of the few affordable supersized devices around. There’s no word on the actual pricing for now, but seeing this big guy’s rather uninspired spec sheet we think Philips is not going to ask us to dig very deep into our pockets.
The 5.3-inch screen boasting a 960 x 540 pixels resolution is one the features that sounds the most promising about the W8355, while on the flipside we have the dated Android 4.0 ICS, just 512 MB of RAM and a mediocre 5 MP rear-facing camera.
