Earlier today we received a couple of new phones for review, but the first to get the benchmark treatment is the 64bit MT6732 equipped Elephone P6000. Here is how it performs.
Before we get on to the benchmarks I will first give you a quick overview of my first impression of the Elephone P6000. As someone who has tested a variety of Elephone phones over the years, I was interested to see if the P6000 was a phone that manages to get a nice balance of price, performance and quality.
For anyone who has tried the P3000 for example, you will be well aware that Elephone can make a well spec’d phone at a low-price, but you will also be aware of the flimsy body and thin plastic used to make that particular phone.
The Elephone P6000 is cut from a separate cloth. Upon opening the box I was quite impressed by the look and design, and once in my hand the higher quality construction and materials are evident. Imagine Xiaomi had continued to develop the Xiaomi Mi2S, with are more substantial removable shell, and you will have a good idea at how well this phone is made. I won’t go in to all the details as I need to save something for the full Elephone P6000 review coming soon, but first impressions are very good.
What we are looking at here is the performance of the 64bit quad-core MT6732 processor found in the Elephone P6000. This is one of Mediatek’s new processors for 2015, and it will be driving a number of mid-range smartphones throughout the year.
The MT6732 is a 28nm processor with 4 x Cortex A53 cores running at 1.5Ghz. The SoC has a Mali-T760 GPU, and as it is meant for mid-range phones is compatible with up to 720p displays only, 13 mega-pixel camera’s and video recording at 30FPS @ 1080. LTE is supported as standard.

As you can see from the benchmarks above there are no figures here which are going to set the mobile phone world on fire, but for the cost of the Elephone P6000, and for that matter every phone running the MT6732, there are very solid performances.
Running 3Dmark is especially satisfying to watch. Where as previous MT6582 and MT6592 chips would stutter and slow down, the 64bit MT6732 outclasses them in every way with smooth performance.
Overall I am really pleased with the performance of the MT6732 quad-core processor in the Elephone P6000, and in fact with the phone as a whole. There are still many things I need to test (the call quality and camera being the major two) but so far I belive this could be the best Elephone to date.
Oh and as for GPS, I got a lock on time of only a few seconds while testing the P6000 in Spain! Impressive stuff!
Full review of the Elephone P6000 is coming in the next week or so. Thanks to Elephone for supplying us with this review sample.

Can you run Geekbench too?
There is on result for the phone but maybe yours has newer software.
Here the P600 against what should be the Redmi 2 http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/compare/1546611?baseline=1675289
sure
please please.. also post linpack scores both single core and multi core
thanks
waited a long time to see how this mediatek SOC performs
thanks Andi
I am more interested in battery and audio quality benchmarks to be fair
Yep, that will all be in the full review
How come in the cpu-z test it says 1000 mAh only if the phone has 2600? Bug of cpu-z?
please please.. also post linpack scores both single core and multi core
thanks
Can you test the compass or magnetic sensor? the P3000s compass isn’t working well.
I say it all the time, the new Mediatek SoCs will rock the industry this year. The MT6732 kicks the Snapdragon 410’s ass, the MT6752 the Snapdragon 615’s.
In Geekbench scores (the MT6752) it kicks the SD805 to the curb. And Geekbench is the only bench that measures the CPU and Memory alone which are the only relevant metrics for everyday usage (I.e. not games).
If gaming is the only that matters to you by all means go the Qualcomm way, for everything else (including GPS and LTE performance) go the Chinese way. It’s sad how far behind western companies have been left. Either they’d have to up their game or face extinction.
To be honest, I totally agree with you after using MTK6595 on my MX4. Although in the games I have tested on it I expirienced no lag at all in the highest settings, in benchmarks the only serious difference I see is when the GPU takes part…
If future MTK SoCs put some more effort to the GPU part, I think we will have a clear winner soon.

The MT6752 / MT8752 are ahead in games as well. We have the Oppo R5 and Cube T7 up here for comparison. It was really surprising to see Qualcomm loosing the game for the first time. GPS and LTE performance is pretty much the same for both.
hey Andi,
What about checking the GPS on a map, while driving the car on the road, is it working properly or the dot on the map going weird.
Does the GPS uses the GLONASS ?
Today I will test that in the car, and post a video. Hopefully Mediatek and Elephone have it sorted.
don’t you forget smtg? 😛
Maybe he got lost…
Huawei Ascend P7 gives around Antutu 5.6=25.000 point, so the MT6732 seems to be around 30% faster than the P7- 3D Game performance should also be much better than the P7- the MT6732 seems to “Be -the-one” for 2015 mid-range phones, unless Intel with new 0,14Nm Ceder Trail comes up
Amazing… a quad core with an higher antutu score than the previous octa core… i can’t wait to see if someone will come up with a 67XX soc and a 5000+ mah battery phone… maybe elephone p5000s? They said in december “the 4g version will come later the next here”, but everything’s yet to be confirmed… maybe gizchina could ask it for us?! C:

Yeah well, i’m waiting for a 5″ with at least 2gb of ram, since i don’t play heavy games but i’m an heavy multitasking user 😉 not to mention that i’d rather a phone with the bigger battery as possible, and some producers showed they can fit a 5000+ battery in that tiny space, so i think i’ll wait to find out if they’ll do it with a 67XX device too 🙂

Looks real solid, in more ways than one. It beats the western budget sweetheart the Moto G 2014 in every single benchmark, and nearly doubles it’s Ice Storm Unlimited scores. MediaTek have outdone themselves here. Can’t wait to see how the MTK6752 phones benchmark.
Moto G hardware wise is outdated but still that 5MP camera sensor is better than most cameras on chinese phones within a $150 budget, also speaking from an audio point of view the G hangs with the best phones out there.
The Moto G 2014 has an OK 8MP camera and honestly loud but muddy sound. I don’t know about the original Moto G, but the new 2014 one is fairly, if not very average in terms of actual usage.
I can only speak from Moto G point of view since I currently own one and honestly the sound quality blows former flagships like Galaxy S4 out of the water
I never heard the sound on the S4 but I have heard the Moto G’s and it was average at best.
It all depends on the phone brand. Gionee/Blu has some phones with 8MP shooters that are very good to excellent. Not flagship level but for $150 they blow the Moto G away.

Do I see correctly in cpu-z it says capacity is 1000 mah?
don’t rely on it..I have Jiayu G4S now with a 3000mAh battery and CPU Z show the same value as on the pic above (1000mAh)…

How much GPU cores? In real.
It’s weird but I expected a way better score. I got an elephone p8 which also gets ~ 31000 on antutu v5.6. The new mali-T760 is supposed to be a lot faster than the very outdated 450MP. And yet looking at the other benchmarks as well, it only has a 10-20% increase? And this is on a 720p screen as well. I don’t really get the praise.
that’s because Mali 450Mp is in a quad core configuration vs Mali T 760 which is in a dual core configuration..
Mt6735 has Mali T720 Mp4 and that will be even better in performance than T760 Mp2..
mali T760 in 8 core configuration comes close to Adreno 420
and mali T760 in 16 core configuration will come close to tegra k1
Translation: never go MediaTek

Without WCDMA 850 this phone is not 3g capable in the U.S. Too bad. Nice phone.

The sad thing is Euro. our currency is dying more and more every day and chinese
products are getting more expensive.
Sooner or later chinese phones will have the same cost for us europeans
therefore we will prefer known brands from the local store due to more reliable and faster guarantee.
I can take the risk to spend 120-200 euros for a chinese phone,
but I am afraid to do it for 200-300euros.
Doesn’t worth the risk taken.

We need huge battery and Mtk6595!!! I dont know why the name is 6000.. Because Elephone p3000 have 3150mah. Elephone p5000 have 5350mah and this p6000 only 2700mah. Elephone p5000 havent LTE and Glonass. So i wait for phone from Elephone with good procesor and good baterry too….

All these reviews of wonderful phones but where on earth do you buy them.I’m over in China at the moment and all I see in the shops are Lenovo’s, iphones, samsungs and the odd HTC… where am I going wrong?

Can you compare with mtk 6592 and qualcomm 610 ?
Finding results made on different phones with exactly same benchmark version is a nightmare :/

Hi Andy
can you also test dual sim functions? I need data on both sim cards and it would be great if also 2nd sim can go at least on 3G. Can you prove this for me?
