Elephone P7000 Pioneer Presales begin. $225 with discount code


elephone p7000

Elephone have finally put their Elephone P7000 flagship up for presale, revealing the price of this 3GB RAM device to be $229.99.

It has been a long time coming but Elephone’s first flagship device of 2015 has finally been listed for presale revealing the final retail price of the phone for the first time. Elephone first announced that they were working on the P7000 months back, so the wait has seemed like an eternity, but finally it is here and ready to be ordered.

elephone p7000

To recap, the Elephone P7000 is a Mediatek flagship device aimed to compete with phones like the JiaYu S3 advanced, iOcean MT6752 Rock and Meizu M1 Note (when it finally gets an international release). Specifications include a 64bit Mediatek MT6752 chipset, 3GB RAM, integrated fingerprint scanner on the rear, LTE and 5.5-inch FHD display.

Elephone-P7000_13

Compared to the rest of the flagship pack, Elephone have managed to get Sony to supply the rear 13 mega-pixel IMX214 camera, a 5 mega-pixel up front, and large 3450mAh battery. All of this sits inside a CNC machined alloy chassis.

The icing on the cake is that Elephone are shipping the Elephone P7000 with Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box. Three colours are available including grey, silver and gold.

The official retail price of the Elephone P7000 is $229.99, but GizChina readers can save $5 and receive free international DHL shipping through Elephone.cc using the coupon code: FUNP7000.

    Finally on pre-sale Huh. I hope they don’t ship it with shitty ROM again.

    Do you think that we can trust Elephones specifications about battery capacity and kind of camera sensor?

      I honestly dont fully trust any chinese brand that isn’t a major player on the local chinese market and does not have a taobao/tmall store. After all if they dont sell local, they won’t have to deal with complaining customers and warranty returns too much.

      Being all the cheap chinese sensors are 13mp I’d say it definitely isnt a Sony sensor. If it was a Sony sensor they would have gone with 16mp.

            Actually chinese upcoming brands can drastically increase their popularity if they keep in touch with their customer base and start giving some good service + work on delivering what the customers really want (=quality hardware and firmware, right from launch day) .
            I have to say the p7000 is very good looking which also helps a lot. the only hurdle i see (coming from europe) is the price in combination with dhl shipping, it means we end up paying appx 275 us$ including import tax, and that is more than for example meizu m1 note or jiayu s3 from resellers with stock in europe. So the question here is, do you (elephone) think your phone is worth the extra money, and if so why 🙂

            April 11, 2015

    If they could have got this far back in January I would have been almost excited about it. Now, so far behind schedule, I’ll wait to see what Mlais have to offer in the M7. I’m thinking it will be available before Elephone p7000 anyway!

        Oh God don’t use DHL this company is a joke! For Greece they asking crazy money! 80€ for them plus they asking me the PayPal receipt plus airport tax 30€ plus the tax to the final price they need more than 150€. I have fight with them 3 times and 2 refused the packet.
        My solution to this stupid company is to use EMS! is far better for Greece I don’t know for other countries but for Greece EMS comes at Greece public post office but IS the good service and it’s called Elta courier.

        • Chris
          April 11, 2015

          Here in netherlands DHL always lets you pay 21% import tax and a small service fee.. Normal post does not always let you pay 21% tax, but if they do they also let you pay a much higher 15 euro service fee.

        • George
          April 11, 2015

            Jeremy I complaining because they have so many taxes and a phone that have 150€ you pay another 150€ to DHL when they stop it. Didn’t say that I don’t want to pay taxes. Last time for a Jiayu G2f I had paid 99€ for the phone and 101€ for DHL all taxes and they say it was friendly price because they cost it for 50€ !

          • toioioio
            April 11, 2015

            Basically it’s not taxes.
            Tax would be 23%,but Dhl charges~100€ as fee and tells the customers it’s taxes.

    • Jeep ✓ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ
      April 10, 2015

      5.5″ is the ideal size for a mobile device for me. I read a lot about people comparing them to TV’s but I just carry my Ecoo E04 (5.5″) in my pocket. I wear normal jeans and it’s not a problem at all. It will maybe take a few days to get use to the size, but after that you can tell whether is it okay for you or not. I cannot go smaller anymore. The UMI Zero was a 5 inch device and besides the UMI Zero being a disaster phone, I missed the little extra display-space when reading e-mails and documents and while playing games.

      It will always be personal. When someone is used to an 4.7″ iPhone screen, quickly something like 5″ or 5.5” looks like a TV. My line was crossed with the iOcean G7 which had a 6.44″ display. The device will still fit most pockets but just was too heavy for me.

        I would like to add that even i had my initial apprehensions with 5’5 but when i held the 1+1 of my colleague,i was surprised how it felt right without being bulky,much i would say depends on the weight of phone also.Any 5’5 below 160 gms seems manageable.Also smaller bezels help in reducing overall dimensions,so it all depends on the review of this phone for buy no-buy decision.That being said,for me 5’5 is definitely the upper max limit.

    Too bad they don’t have a bigger battery, 5000 should be doable, and bigger screen, bigger than 6″. Big screen phablets are fantastic. You can do so much more when the screen isn’t so tiny.

      Next time an iphone user jokes about your portable TV, ask him about his overpriced poststamp.

    Too bad they don’t have a bigger battery, 5000 should be doable, and bigger screen, bigger than 6″. Big screen phablets are fantastic. You can do so much more when the screen isn’t so tiny.

    I’ve got the P6000 (5″) and I am really happy with it, but still waiting for the promised update to Lollipop.

    What’s the SAR value of the phone? Any information when it will be available?
