What Is Cloud Phone Host?
Overview
Cloud Phone Host (CPH) provides you with cloud phones virtualized from Kunpeng Bare Metal Servers (BMSs) of Huawei Cloud. These virtual phones run native Android. You can remotely control a cloud phone in real time to run Android applications on the cloud, or use the computing power of cloud phones to build applications for scenarios like cloud gaming, virtual office, and live streaming.
Why CPH?
CPH extends functions of mobile phones and can be used in scenarios such as application simulation tests, cloud mobile gaming, live streaming interaction, and virtual office, so that mobile applications can also run intelligently on the cloud.
- Lower Costs, Higher Efficiency
In Internet industry scenarios such as application simulation tests, the processing efficiency of a single mobile phone is limited. However, by using cloud phones, you can significantly improve the processing efficiency and reduce the cost of manual operations and equipment procurement and maintenance.
- Security Assurance
CPH runs application data on the cloud and provides more secure and efficient mobile office solutions for industries that have high requirements on information security, such as government and finance. Employees can log in to the office system from their cloud phones. Public and private data is stored separately. Enterprises can intelligently manage cloud phone servers, reducing costs and improving efficiency while ensuring information security.
- Exploring New Possibilities in the Gaming and Live Streaming Industries
CPH provides new interactive experience for industries such as gaming and live streaming. It helps explore new business models and market space. For example, in the cloud mobile gaming scenario, a game runs on a virtual phone on the cloud. It can be installed and deployed before play and can be dynamically loaded during play. In this way, end players play games without downloading them. This greatly improves the player conversion rate. In addition, users with medium or low mobile phone configurations can run large-scale mobile games smoothly, which expands the user scope of games.
For more innovative technologies and advantages of CPH, see CPH Advantages.
Product Architecture
The CPH architecture consists of three parts: cloud phone, terminal device, and customer service.

Based on Huawei TaiShan Arm servers, CPH integrates multiple highly cost-effective GPUs to provide professional graphics processing capabilities. The TaiShan server runs EulerOS as the host OS. The host OS uses the in-house MonBox technology to generate a container, and the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) system runs in the container to virtualize multiple cloud phones. Both the TaiShan server and CPH system use the Arm architecture, so translation compute power loss caused by instruction set conversion is reduced, and better user experience is delivered.
CPH provides video, audio, and touch SDKs. You can develop terminal-based applications to obtain audios and videos of cloud phones. Another option is to gather touch instructions, such as tapping, swiping, or clicking, and execute them on cloud phones.
On the service side, you can use the management console, APIs, Android Debug Bridge (ADB) ports, and other customized ports to manage resources, applications, O&M, and access of cloud phone servers.
- Resource management: Purchase and query cloud phone servers.
- Application management: Push, install, and uninstall cloud phone applications.
- O&M management: Restart, reset, stop, and start cloud phone servers.
- Access management: cloud phone server access authentication
Available Regions
CPH is only available in the following regions:
- CN East-Shanghai1
- CN East-Shanghai2
- CN South-Guangzhou
- CN Southwest-Guiyang1
- CN-Hong Kong
- AP-Singapore
- LA-Santiago
Target Users
CPH is mainly used by enterprise users. Users should have basic computer knowledge and certain development capabilities to perform secondary development based on cloud phones. If you (individual customer) want to try out or perform some simple operations, you can also purchase a cloud phone. We will provide related operation guide and expert assistance.
How to Use
You can access CPH through a web-based management console or by calling HTTPS-based APIs.
- Calling APIs
To integrate CPH into your system for secondary development, use APIs to access CPH. For details, see the API Reference.
- Through the management console
To perform other operations, such as purchasing and connecting to a cloud phone, log in to the management console to access CPH.
You obtain cloud phones only after purchasing a server. To purchase a server and obtain the corresponding number of cloud phones, you only need to specify the server type, instance specifications, phone image, and required network configuration. For details about how to purchase and use a cloud phone, see Buying a Cloud Phone Server.
