(First, I haven't watched all of the reboot, so I apologize in advance if Phil is explained in some other way that I haven't seen yet.)

Phil seems to know a lot about the Omnitrix and how to fix it when it's broken. Very similar to how Grandpa Max is familiar with some ailen technotogy, which hints that the Plumbers *are* a thing in the reboot.

Now, maybe Phil is just another Plumber, but I think it's much more likely that he's a Galvan, perhaps Azmuth, who has come to Earth is watch over the person who has the Omnitrix. I'm not sure if Grandpa Max was supposed to get it in the reboot like it's been claimed in the original series, but the reboot seems a lot more "Ben has the watch so let's just roll with that" than the original cartoon was.
