If there’s one Chinese smartphone company you can run, but can’t hide from, it’s Elephone. The company has been in the news for all sorts of reasons, and today there’s another.
The folks at Elephone reckon the upcoming Vowney is already under mass production. If you remember, the Vowney first broke cover in early 2015, and with it’s promise to deliver high-end hardware at an affordable price, won a lot of media footage and attention from prospective buyers.
Andi even managed to get a little hands-on time with the phone a couple or so weeks back. The Vowney is supposed to have a 2K display, 4GB of RAM, a 21 mega-pixel main camera, Android 5.1, a 4000mAh battery and of course, a fingerprint sensor.
Elephone say that the Vowney is under mass production (and even sent over some images you can see on this article), and go on to suggest that pre-orders would begin mid-October with deliveries commencing by the end of the month. But like you, I take this bit of news with a pinch of salt… or maybe more than that.
Nonetheless, the Vowney should be an interesting device. Recently, we posted a hands-on with the super affordable Elephone Trunk, which you should check out here.
Please elephone, NO MORE BIG BLACK BEZELS, the people want BEZELESS over the 77% screen body ratio
Yeah that would be awful, but most I’ve seen are mere millimetres. It’s not as if they are sourcing their screens from North Korea or something. The bezels are pretty much standard unless you get special glass moulded screens that can butt right to the edge without protection, or by tricks the manufacture hides the bezels.
ok im with you , elephone can use the normal bezel wich is that matt said before 2-3 mm without the + 3mm black ugly bezel ,
i know i’m in the minority these days, but the bezels really don’t bother me at all. that being said, i probably still won’t Elephone any time soon. hopefully they’ll prove all of us doubters wrong
Bezels don’t bother me either, i don’t like bezeless phone at all to begin with. But there’s a difference between the 2-3mm bezels of normal phones, and elephone’s phones: they have 2mm real bezels, and 3mm of black, ugly bezels, completely destroying the design of the device! And, sadly, this vonwey won’t be any different…
I think Elephone have invested in metal frame creation so they can get screens closer to the edge with the frame.
