Philips handset with "Anti-Blue" display is certified by TENAA

Late last month, Philips introduced two new Android handsets with "Anti-Blue" displays. Using a technology called SoftBlue, the phones produce up to 86% less blue light from their displays, than an average smartphone. This results in less strain and fatigue on a smartphone user's eyes. The two Anti-Blue models unveiled last month from Philips were the Philips Sapphire S616 and the Philips Sapphire Life V787.

While the Philips Sapphire S616 is already available in China, priced at the equivalent of $220 USD, the Philips V787 has just been certified by Chinese regulator TENAA. This model features a 5-inch "Anti-Blue" screen with a 1080 x 1920 resolution. That works out to a pixel density of 441ppi. An unnamed MediaTek SoC is under the hood, carrying a quad-core 1.5GHz CPU. 1GB of RAM is inside, along with 8GB of native storage. Those seeking additional memory can access the 32GB capacity microSD slot

The 13MP rear-facing camera uses Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) for quick focusing, and there is a 5MP camera in front for selfies and video chats. Philips own Xenium technology is used with the 5000mAh battery (yup, you read that correctly) which provides 47 hours of talk time. Android 5.1 is pre-installed.

Now that the Philips Sapphire Life V787 has been certified by TENAA, we should see it launched shortly. As usual, TENAA has its usual gallery of photographs that you can look at by clicking on the slideshow below.
