Although Philips is not considered as a super strong competitor to many remarkable flagships existing in the smartphone market, their product’s quality does gain very good reputation. Recent leaks show that we are going to experience a very new flagship, Philips i999.

Philips i999 Specs: A carefully developed handset

The phone has been certified at TENAA recently and said to pack pretty powerful specs. With a 5.5-inch 2K screen, Philips i999 will become the very first phone in the house to sport that feature. Besides, it uses 3D arc tech to create better curvature, developed on the basis of 2.5D. On the other hand, the device will come with 3GB RAM and 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor. The focus points on this latest smartphone are the currently popular  fingerprint scanner and narrow-bezel design, maybe with metal casing.

In terms of taking photos, Philips i999 camera is also a beast. It has a 8MP front shooter and a 20MP sensor with dual Philips LED flash which is a very famous product of the company. However, despite such high-end Philips i999 specs, the smartphone just runs Android Kitkat 4.4.3 version. This could be a minus for Philips to consumers’ way of thinking.

Philips i999 Price and Launch Date in Malaysia:

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 Malaysia and will support the company with this interesting flagship. How much do you think the phone will cost? Will it fit the sub RM1,000 budget phone market? Or will it be overpriced?
