Costing just $100 and available to markets in both Asia and Europe from February, Elephone have big hopes for the Elephone G2.
Just in this morning are the first real photos of the budget friendly Elephone G2, along with pricing, partial specifications and availability.
The Elephone G2 is squarely aimed at the same customer base who is already considering the Meizu m1 or Xiaomi Redmi 2, however they hope to gain a big advantage by offering their 64bit phone for just $100 in Asia and Europe.

At that price point, I cant get my hopes high. Most likely gonna ship with 1GB RAM and not more than 8GB ROM. Besides, I’d rather go for a 5.5″ to 6″ device.
Can I ask you what do you expect to get for $100 ? Also, phone size is just perfect for that price point.
“At that price point”
You are making it sound like it is a $500 device. I wouldn’t expect anyone to have high hopes for a $100 phone. It is the extremely low end of the market. The price of the components will pretty much match whatever they sell it for. But if you want a really good phone for that price range I highly recommend the Doogee DG Turbo 2014. I have been using one for 2 months now and have never had any issues. It is a 5 inch 720p with 1 GB of RAM and it runs nearly stock 4.4. It has a very thin and good looking (6.5 mm) metal frame. The build quality is fantastic and it really is a great phone for the price. It doesn’t come close spec wise to my Mi4, but I find myself grabbing this for long business trips.
At least you have a lot to choose for…this is one of few phones that it’s not to big for rest of us. But atbthis price point, as you have said, you can’t get your hopes high…but for little bit more there is a lot really good phones (meizu m1 first on my mind).
and I guess this spec will go for 599y and that will be stronger 2GB model for 100-200y more. At least, I expect that by what other brands are doing.
