Elephone, not a company known for making superior camera phones, have released sample photos taken with their Elephone M3. Check them out.
For regulars of GizChina, you will know Elephone as the brand that gets specs and pricing right, but fails when it comes to the implementation of hardware and design. In the past the phone maker has had some promising phones on paper only to be let down with optimisation issues, but will this be an issue of the past with the Elephone M3?
The Elephone M3 will be the third Elephone device in the ‘M’ range and the model with the highest hardware specification to date.
The $199.99 M3 looks like a premium Oppo phone, and will come with a Mediatek Helio P10 chipset, 3GB RAM, 32GB memory, rear fingerprint scanner and Sony IMX230 21 mega-pixel main camera built-in to an all metal body.
Gizchina News of the week
We have seen the IMX230 in the Vowney too, but have Elephone done a better job with the camera on the M3 this time around? Take a look at the samples below:
Elephone M3 photo samples
I’d like to get my hands on the M3 and see what the camera performance is like first hand, but already it looks like the phone struggles with over exposure in certain parts of the image.
Looking at the sky the M3 produces a white, washed out image, where as other high-end camera phones would be able to give a more natural blue sky. Again we don’t know just how bright the sun was shining on the day these photos were took so we can’t be 100% sure how the camera performs just yet.
There are more sample photos to check out here.
im skeptical also the m2 imo wasnt a bad phone from elephone.. in other news check out the cheetah phone UI, looks nice and snappy but suspiciously bloatwarey “trending searches” “apps recommendation”

The P8000 died (stopped charging) in 4 months, the M3 died (again stopped charging) in a month. I seriously doubt elephone has anything good coming. That’s a lot of wasted cash.
As far I learn from elephone resellers, M3 is not available yet, where did you get your M3?
You try to warn people, but they don`t listen, let them buy Elephone, and if they’re lucky it might last 6-7 months before falling appart(or developing some other issues)
People fall in love with Elephone’s specs and promises and completely ignore their history. For me I will be critical of them until two things happen: they release a great phone with no issues, it still works 7 months later.
They have done that, the Trunk, the P6000 series and the M2 have been lasting so far(have confirmed people who own those for over 6 months without any issues and in general the vine says they last).
Problem is that`s like one of every three-four models, and to be fair the P6000 series and Trunk have allot going for it(good specs, good built and great price), but appart from those evrything that they offer is overhyped and claims are not nearly what the actual product does, and they have been slowly upping their prices, so that they appear more premium to the general public.
I will not even mention the first 20 models that the company made, which all of them were absolute garbage!
In the end it`s a company that’s built on the foundation of lying to their customers, and that is something I cannot forget.
Sorry but you always négative with elephone, but I had an elephone G7 since 1 year and it work, my father has à P6000 and it work, my wife has a P8000 with eragon rom and the phone is great, so for me and for the price elephone is better than many other (N°1 or UMI for exemple)
The only Elephone that I have owned and is still working is the second batch P6000, all other Elephones failed after reaching their first birthday.
They truly have no quality control.
