Today, was the first day of sales for the Elephone P7000 which got us to thinking how does the latest Elephone smartphone compare to rivals from Ulefone and Mlais?
In this comparison we are going to look at the Elephone P7000, Mlais M7 and Ulefone Be Touch, all running the same processor, amount of RAM and all offering a similar fingerprint scanning technology.
Elephone P7000

Next us is the Mlais M7. This phone comes from the same people who brought us the Mlais M52, and in appearance the M7 is quite similar to the Elephone P7000.
Like the Elephone, the Mlais M7 has a 5.5-inch display, octacore MT6752 chipset, 3GB RAM, 13 mega-pixel camera, and rear mounted fingerprint scanner, but there are a few differences.

Elephone P7000 vs Mlais M7 vs Ulefone Be Touch
[table id=208 /]Elephone P7000 vs Mlais M7 vs Ulefone Be Touch – Which would you choose
Of the 3 phones the Elephone P7000 has the highest specification with a FHD display and large battery. It is also the only phone here that CM12 has been seen running on.
The Mlais M7 and Ulefone Be Touch have less resolution, but the major difference is the battery size of these two phones.
If we base the comparison on RRP pricing is the Elephone P7000 worth the extra $30 asking price over the Mlais M7? Is the Ulefone Be Touch worth the extra $20 for the 2.5D display, better camera and more unique design?
Of these 3 2015 Chinese flagship Android smartphones which would you choose and why?
All three phones have deal breaking flaws for me. The the ppi and battery of the be touch let’s it down, other than that, a superb phone. The p7000 has a massive black border all around the screen. Ugly, and unnecessary. I’d buy it if it wasn’t for that! (love the breathing home button light) as for the mlais..it sort of sits in the middle with the low ppi 720 screen, and the rear camera not being so good. It also has a similar ugly black border around the screen.. I’m holding off on these phones for now..
Yes thats sad design with screen. But i can live with it for 159usd.one other good phone is ecoo e04
