Elephone have updated their website to include their new Elephone P6000 64bit phone that will ship with Android 5.0 Lollipop.
As far as we know, there are exactly 0 Chinese smartphones that you can buy right now which come with Android 5.0 Lollipop loaded on them out of the box. There are ROMS for the Xiaomi Mi3 and OPO that give them Lollipop, but nothing direct from the manufacturer yet.
With that in mind the Elephone P6000 begins to look more attractive by the second! Already the phone has been confirmed to get a quad-core 64bit Mediatek chipset, with 2GB RAM, and now the official product page for the phone shows Android 5.0 Lollipop too!
Gizchina News of the week
Elephone still need to advice fans on the official launch date of the P6000, however pricing has been rumoured to be around $170! Darn cheap for a 64bit, 2GB, LTE phone running the latest version of Android.
Looking back over Elephone’s year we hope the P6000 has a little added attention to quality and build materials. Elephone have already proven they can do affordable, not they need to boost build.

Not poor, but it’s not good, the place where they get their OEM’s doesn’t seems to care that much about the build quality, just the specs and price.
That is not the case at all. Most Elephone’s are made by Shenzen KVD who also makes (and owns) the brand Doogee. Doogee Phones are excellent quality. Elephone is probably buying cheaper and lesser quality parts. The OEMs don’t control what parts the company uses they just put them together.
Hi Saor; I purchased 2 Elephone P8’s within the past 12 months. I “loved them” until 1 month ago. The “charger / USB port” carries a circuit for the phone’s speaker. The circuit board that contains that USB port has snapped (presumably after repeated charging); rendering the “ring tones; notifications, music and message received” sounds totally inaudible. I won’t buy another ELEPHONE.
