Philips’ new budget smartphone Philips PH2 has been launched in China. The handset is priced at around Rs 10,000 in the Chinese market. This budget device from Philips will have a dual camera setup with UNISOC Tiger T310 processor, 4GB RAM, 3,900mAh battery, HMS (HUAWEI Mobile Services) system and 13 megapixel primary sensor.
Philips PH2 features a flat 6.2” LCD with 720p+ resolution (19:9 aspect ratio). Under the hood, the smartphone is based on a Unisoc Tiger T310 chipset (12 nm) with a quad-core CPU – an unusual 1x Cortex-A75 + 3x Cortex-A55 configuration – plus a PowerVR GT7200 GPU. It is hooked up to 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage, expandable via a microSD card.
On the back, the Philips PH2 has a 13MP main camera and a 2MP assistant, a depth sensor by the sound of it. The smartphone is limited to 720p video recording. The notched 5MP camera on the front does face unlock, but you can also use the side-mounted fingerprint reader for secure authentication. The back of the device is made out of glass with a matte finish.
The Philips PH2 is powered by a 3,900mAh battery and we don’t see a mention of fast charging. The selection of wired ports includes USB-C and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Besides the smartphone’s regular packaging, there is also “gift package”, which includes a charger, screen protector and a case.
Also, the Philips PH2 runs on Android 11 operating system with a Huawei flavor since it uses the Huawei Mobile Services. Strangely, there is no mention of HarmonyOS. But we’re not exactly clear on what version of Android this is. Anyway, The smartphone is a dual-SIM device with 4G connectivity.
The Philips PH2 – not to be confused with the Phillips PH2 – was quietly launched in China and it is a cheap Android phone for the elderly. It costs CNY 800 on JD.com, that converts to $125/€110/₹9,515. For a closer look at the smartphone, the handset will soon be available on JD.com.
