Do you know Philips's smartphone?
Speaking of home appliance manufacturers Philips, is it a long -established company, and in Japan, electric razors and electric toothbrushes are the major?The Philips sells smartphones and mobile phones in China.That said, Philips is not developing and manufacturing, but a company in China is developing products only by lending only brands.
The main model of the Philips is feature phones, with a lot of cheap terminals compatible with 4G.In China, a rugged mobile phone for seniors, commonly known as the "elderly aircraft," is still in demand.By the way, the brand name of the feature phone is "Xenium".This Xenium is a product name that was used around 2000 when Philips was making a mobile phone.

In the old days, I had been making low -priced smartphones, such as having expanded Windows Mobile (not Windows Phone) smartphones in China.However, no matter how much the name of Philips, which is famous for home appliances, the smartphone market has many rivals and has hardly developed products in recent years.
However, in December 2021, two smartphones after a long absence appeared.The product name is "PH1" and "PH2".The pH seems to have been taken from the name of Philips.The past smartphones are completely different model names, and may be trying to develop smartphones again from these two models.

However, it is not a product that focuses on Japanese people.Both PH1 and PH2 use UNISOC T310 for chipsets, which are often used for cheap Chinese tablets, and the performance is at the entry level.PH1 is a 6.51 type (1440x720 dot) display on 13 million pixels + 2 million pixels, and PH2 is 12 million pixels + 2 million pixels for 6.21 (1520x720 dots) display.The price is 549 yuan (about 9900 yen) and 779 yuan (14,000 yen), which can be seen that it is an entry -class smartphone.
Although the beauty is appealing, PH1 is a product worth 10,000 yen.
It is a Philips smartphone that seems to be particularly interested in Japanese people who are particular about performance, but it has a slightly interesting function.The smartphone sold in China does not have Google Services and has its own OS (UI) and its own app store, but PH2 adopts Huawei's mobile service, HMS.When launching a full -fledged smartphone for the first time in a few years, it is not a bad idea to adopt an ecosystem that has a track record of Huawei.

I would like to see the appearance of the app store, but the detailed information is unknown because it is a minor product.According to the information and user reviews on the Chinese major EC site, it seems that HMS is certainly adopted.The pH1 seems to have a different OS service with these two models, such as seeing a Google logo icon on the lock screen, but the actual situation seems to be unable to obtain the actual machine.

In a partnership between Huawei and other manufacturers, there are rumors that HMD GLOBAL, a Nokia brand smartphone, will be equipped with HARMONYOS developed on a smartphone for China.If you provide apps and services to Chinese consumers, relying on HMS, which already has many users, would be a quick way.
Huawei is trying to aim for the third mobile OS seat that opposes Android and iOS by expanding HARMONYOS/HMS globally.Depending on the country, the provision of OS licenses to other manufacturers may also increase the ecosystem.If Philips has HMS and Harmonyos on future smartphones, it will be an interesting one as a Huawei camp.
