First Photo Of The Elephone S8 Shows A Mi Mix Rival


elephone s8

Elephone is reported to have created an Android smartphone that will become a real rival to the Xiaomi Mi Mix!

Elephone have made a lot, and we mean A LOT, of bold claims in the past so it’s been easy to ignore their claims that the Elephone S8 would feature a bezel-less design but it isn’t so easy to ignore their latest photo leak!

Previous to this actual photo, Elephone had only released a render of the Elephone S8 and as we can see (compare the image above to the one below) a few changes have been made to the final phone.

Clearly, the fingerprint scanner has been moved to the chin of the phone on the prototype of the phone where as the render had an Elephone logo on the chin. The rest of the bezel-less design is very closely modelled on the Xiaomi Mi Mix.

Elephone S8 Specifications

The Elephone S8 hasn’t a release date yet, but from the details that they company have reveleaed already and these images we do know a little about the phone already.

For example the display is a 6-inch 1920 x 1080 FHD panel with curves to the sides and top. The processor is apparently a Mediatek Helio X27 chipset boasting a Tri-cluster core configuration and a maximum clock speed of 2.6Hhz.

We’re not entirely sure how much RAM the Elephone S8 will have but internal memory is set at a maximum of 128GB. The phone could also come with a dual rear camera design too!

Looking at the design and the specs the Elephone S8 does look like a decent Chinese smartphone, but can we really get excited about another Elephone flagship?

    They can even make the phone transparent and we know it will still be sh*t.

      Yes but would it be a transparent and good smelling sh*t? As that would be good for refreshing toilets.

    Goddammit! Stop making such enormous phablets!

    • January 22, 2017

      Honestly I was hoping for a 6″ display! With this design it should have the overall size of a 5.5″ phone or less. Just think that the Xiaomi Mi Mix is 6.44″ and it’s about as big as an iPhone 7 Plus.

    If Elephone offers all the Band’s and availability with Amazon, people of other countries could have bought it online. There mobiles are very cheap compared to the design.

    I’m certain that this phone “will become a real rival to the Xiaomi Mi Mix!” due to Elephones long history of making premium quality phones, and that this is not just a press release from Elephone.

        You missed the joke, I was being sarcastic. I know Elephone is a terrible brand. This news story reads more like a press release than an actual news story. The statement “Elephone is reported to have created an Android smartphone that will become a real rival to the Xiaomi Mi Mix!” is ridiculous considering the history of Elephone.

        I would say that a lot of the news about Elepohne phones here reads more like press releases than actual news, and as a long time visitor to Gizchina, I wish there was more quality content on here these days.

    Is this phone going to be another superrubbish just like the S7? Elephone has seriously tainted their reputation with the shitty S7.

    the “photo leak” as they say it, is notreally a photo leak and everyone of us know that, thus i am wondering what else they are going to announce… it looks like they keep pumping new phones every week, but they don’t really give any attention to the software stabilisation and updates, which makes most of their customers think they are a bad company and that isn’t exactly a lie.
