The leaf on one side is likely to be larger than the other, because in a healthy phal, a new leaf comes in bigger than the one before.
"leaf slightly bowed outward near the tip"-- not sure what this means, but I don't think it means anything. Depending on ancestry, some phals grow with leaves that are kind of V shaped, while others grow with leaves that are shaped like inverted U.
Also, leaves can be shaped to a certain extent by being kept in a particular position while they mature. I have occasionally bought phals from Hawaiian growers with leaves and aerial roots encased in a soft, narrow sleeve and pointing straight up. They obviously used the sleeves to save bench space.
If there's something wrong, the leaves will look unhealthy.
