Although Philips is not a very noisy competitor with that many new flagships all the time, the company has very good reputation for product quality. Recent leaks show that we are going to experience a very new flagship: the Philips i999.
The Philips i999: a carefully developed smartphone
The phone just got certified over at TENAA and packs pretty powerful specs. Looking at what this device has to offer, we can tell that, Philips is taking the game really serious this time when launching their new flagship.
The Philips i999 features 5.5 inch and massive 2K display, very first to appear at the company’s product. Philips I999 screen uses the 3D arc tech that creates greater curvature, developed on the basis of 2.5D.
The Philips i999: all it has to offer
The handset also comes with 3GB of RAM and 2.5GHz quad-core processor with Snapdragon 801. The focus point that Philips gave its latest smartphone is the currently popular fingerprint scanner and narrow-bezel design. And don’t be surprised if the device shows up with metal casing.
The Philips i999 camera is also beast: 20MP sensor with dual Philips LED flash. Just so you know, Philips LED light bulbs is also a very famous and well-known product of the company.
However, despite other high-ends specs, the smartphone still sports Android Kitkat 4.4.3 version. This could be a minus point when considered by customers.
Philips i999 price and launch date in PH
Exciting and potential as it offers, the Philips i999 price and launch date is still a mystery up to now. We are looking forward to the Philips i999 release date in PH and will support the company with this interesting flagship. How much do you expect the phone to be? Will it fit the sub 15K budget phone market? Or will it be overpriced?
