The Elephone model they so much believe has just arrived or rather let’s say its available for presale, because the company has a little bit of a problematic history with fulfilling the promised schedule. Yes we are talking about the bezel-less Elephone S3, which is now up for grabs until the end of May for 179.99$.
The specs didnt change overnight so it’s still the same 5.2-inch phone with LG FHD bezel-less IPS display as the main selling point. Rest of the specs include MT6753 processor, 3 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, rear fingerprint scanner, Sony IMX135 sensor in the rear 13 MPix camera, full metal body, Android 6.0 and slightly disappointing 2100 mAh battery capacity.
Gizchina News of the week
With new Elephone website redesign it’s also possible to buy the phone directly from the company now and not be forced to rely on resellers. The Elephone S3 is listed for 179.99$ until May 31st, when the price will go up to retail 189.99$. Only the grey, silver and gold versions are currently available there, seems like the rose gold one is going to be delayed.
They’ve got the looks right but the phone is a little underpowered for the price and risk (Elephone quickly ditching support due to the number of phones they release).
it has the old MT6753 cpu
so forget about it
I would spend a bit more and get the Future instead
is shit ?
The 2100 mAh battery in the Elephone S3 is more than “slightly disappointing” – it’s a joke. Not too impressed with the Mediatek MT6753 processor either – very last year when new budget phones at least have the Mediatek P10.
Elecrap again.
The price is too cheap. You can’t get real bazle-less with good quality at this price.
Ulefone Future will be better.
Bezless screen is quite easy to do. But bezless that can survive a drop, that is more hard difficult.
It would be too cheap if it used actual 2016 components but it doesn’t. The IMX 135 was used in the Xiaomi Mi3 and many other phones in 2013.
lol ruler cable included :D:D:D
“This cable comes with ruler design, which can be used to measure peoples’s BWH and baby’s height etc.”
This is a joke right ?^^
Never seen something this dumb-creative in my whole life I think^^
You probably missed the Elephone’s ruler-cable article 😛

Presale now, delivery in 6 months. That’s usually for Elecrap, they will cite “manufacturing delays”.
$179 for a phone with a MT6753 from a company that has worse reliability than Yugo had?
What exactly is kimovil?
It is a price comparison website for Asian phones. Pretty useful tool when shopping for phones. They have pricing information for most of the top resellers.’
kimovil.com
Agreed
and meizu pro 6 ? ….. $486 / $530 kimovil , old sensor and crap camera software… bla bla bla.. battery similar too lol
now, show me all cheap absurd price you can get until $530
Old sensor? It’s a brand new sensor but keep trying for your crap brands.
both mid-range brand… I dont see any diference
Of course you don’t just like you thought that picture of the cockroach was a good photo. appears you have some vision issues.
another.. change your profile !
L1020 since 2013
You and your cockroaches, that’s still a terrible picture. I am gonna start calling you cockroach.
MediaTek or Exynos will not make Meizu a high-end
Thats good because Meizu doesn’t try to be a high end phone, thats why their phone retails for under $400.
Honestly I don’t give a damn about a phone being bezel less anyway.
“2100 mAh battery”
who want buy this ?!

$179/$189 for a phone with a MT6753 and a 3 year old camera sensor, from a company that has worse reliability than Yugo?
To show absurd this price is you can get the following phones cheaper (all prices from Kimovil):
1. Xiaomi Mi4c – $142
2. Meizu Metal – $167
3. Honor 5x – $184
4 LeTV Le 1s – $160
5. Redmi Note 3 Pro – $165
6. Meizu M3 Note – $177
I would get anyone of those before this Elecrap model. They used bargain basement components this should cost no more than $100.

The sensor on the Pro 6 is 1 year old, the sensor on this Elecrap is 3 years old. Also Meizu has a history of making products that actually work. Elecrap does not. Meizu also has excellent camera software but being someone who thinks terrible pictures of roaches looks good I can understand the confusion.
Keep trying for your shitty brands.
both mid-range brand… I dont see any diference
MediaTek or Exynos will not make Meizu a high-end, same Elecrap
Thats good because Meizu doesn’t try to be a high end phone, thats why their phone retails for under $400.

Wow! Sony IMX135, that young 3.5 years old sensor.
Oh, elephone, don’t tell me that s3 will get more expansive.
2100mah on smartphones nowadays is just insulting. Bazel less or not, withs such batt capacity, old chipset and sensors,. $179 is just too much. This phone spec is worth $80 at most but since it’s Elephone, it’s worth $50 since you’ll probably run into countless issues and bad services. Idk why they keep realising gimmick phones with such specs
