An AAA battery for your Philips Xenium

Damian Koh | Feb 20, 2008

Three hours--that's the amount of extra talktime you're getting with an AAA-sized battery on the Xenium 9@9j phone. The keyword is extra, as the upcoming handset that was showcased earlier this month at the Mobile World Congress will still come with the standard Lithium-ion battery. It's kind of like old school meets new school. The difference is the AAA backup power juices up the rechargeable cell once it knocks out, without the need to plug in any external peripherals. As far as I can remember, this implementation could be the first of its kind and should be useful for people who are away from A/C power outlets for extended periods of time. We'll post the availability details once we get them.

Update: The Xenium 9@9j is expected to be available from April 14 in China and Hong Kong and from May 12 in Southeast Asia.
