Hi guys, apologies for the late response. Since the pictures shared in the previous response are the exact ones as I would've shared, I thought of responding after using the trimmer.
First off, regarding my take on the packaging, the print quality is very substandard and not something I would expect from Philips. Please compare it to the packaging in India while this imported product has washed out images of the model is a bit hard to believe. I still don't believe this packaging would've passed the marketing team of Philips, I say this because I work in the industry. Also, the wrong instructions in the supplied manual are unusual. As per the manual, this trimmer will not work if connected to a power source and operated but in practice, it does work.
Coming to the trimmer, I agree with the statement.
matches up to it in terms of quality, so it is genuine.
It does indeed work as good as the Indian version of a Philips trimmer. I use a different version of a Philips trimmer which is supposedly cheaper than this at full price. One strange omission is the lack of a charging indicator which my other trimmer has. Lastly, it does feel lighter but it could be due to the absence of the height adjustment of the plastic guard mechanism in this trimmer thus reducing its weight.
