Elephone have sent us this design schematic of a new and named device along with features the phone will have to offer.
Do you have your Elephone P7000 yet? What about your P8000? If not don’t fret as there is yet another Elephone smartphone to come. The new phone, which is currently without a name (Elephone P20,000?), is coming soon apparently but so far there is no definitive launch date.
We do have a few details of the smartphone though. The device will features a 5.5-inch display and uses a frameless design. Were not sure if this means it simply looks frameless when the screen is locked or if they are using a similar frameless technology as Oppo and Nubia on the new phone, although the latter seems more likely looking at the image.
Gizchina News of the week
The dimensions of the battery are 65 x 90 x 3.8mm and on the design it is listed as a 3000mAh battery, but our source says that a larger battery could make its way in to the finally production model.
Finally a physical home button sits below the frameless display and will have a built-in fingerprint scanner similar in design to the Meizu MX4 Pro and (possibly) MX5.
So another new week and another new Elephone. Tell us what you think.

Well as a P7000 owner I’m pissed off. They need to stop making existing customers feel like their purchases are obsolete almost immediately. Also, these quick releases must be draining on the software development team, who have to maintain the software for so many devices at one time. This shows in the quality of the software, which often feel half-baked.
Take my P7000 for example. The SoC is obviously very potent (it actually launches applications faster than my Note 4), but the scrolling is VERY jerky. This won’t be so bad if they were to release source code to the community so we can fix their mistakes, but so far they have claimed to be doing that for the P8000, and “trying” for the P7000.
I know that feeling. I bought an UMi eMax during the flash sale on impulse, my phone has not yet arrived and UMi is now parading their new phone which looks much better spec-wise (except SoC) compared to the phone I bought, I mean it uses the eMax main camera as its front facing camera, lol. And it is priced almost the same.
