Elephone have announced that they will be taking the 64bit bull by the horns and releasing the Elephone P6000 in the coming months.
If you are keeping score, then you will know that this announcement is the 3rd from Elephone in the past month. The first being the Elephone P5000 with 5000mAh battery, then the P8 Pro (earlier today) and now the P6000. Thats not to mention the P4000 which although has been online for months isn’t actually in full production.
Anyway, what makes the P6000 such an exciting delvelopment for Elephone is the fact that it will use a new 64bit processor from Mediatek. The chipset they plan to use will be the MT6732 which is a quad-core SoC based on Arm 8 hardware.
From what we know so far, which isn’t all that much, the Elephone P6000 will be a mid ranger with 2GB RAM and a 720p HD display (size unknown). As it has a new MT6732 the phone will also support FDD-LTE, WCDMA and GSM.
So when will the phone launch and how much will it be? Well he date is not clear, and pricing has been put in the hands of Elephone fans, who are encouraged to take part in a poll to suggest the cost.
What do you think a 64bit Elephone smartphone is worth?
64 bit means faster cpu, if it will be 4 cores with 4 faster cores, it will be great.
moving to 64 bit is better, in any case.
Theoretically 64 bit is able to computer faster but that is not often that case. Just because it is 64 bit it doesn’t mean it will be the fastest quad core available.
Lollipop?
Elephone loves to make announcements but they are often very slow with actually releasing said product.
720p? Really?
FHD noob really?
720p is really good for 5inch and less, even 5.5inch!
actually power vr 6200 (gpu of mediatek chipset) is not the strongest, even weaker than last year adreno 330
so if you want to play without lag you should admit 720p
Midrange phone? Really?
There have been tests done that show on a phone 5 inches under 9 our 10 people couldn’t tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. It wasn’t until you got to screens over 7 inches that a significant number of people could notice any difference. 720p for a mid range phone with what will most likely be a 5-5.5 inch screen is more than good.

The perfect quadcore solution should be:
2x Cortex A57 2.0 GHz.
2x Cortex A53 1.2 GHz.
Biglittle config.
Midrange killer. A MT6742 should be the answer!
