Elephone S7 prototype hands-on video

Ying HuaAugust 23, 2016

The new Elephone S7 release is getting closer and closer, unconfirmed rumors are putting it somewhere in the beginning of September so really just few days ahead. And of course the potential customers are getting curious about the looks and equipment of the device. So to appease the public Elephone have released the hands-on video, but so far only for the prototype model of the S7.

But if the final product will look the same as the prototype we are in for a treat, because the bezel-less design with the 5,5-inch FHD display and 2.5D arc are really looking quite impressive. Now we can only hope the company will make sure everything is on the same quality level as the design itself…

Of course we are still in the testing/QC period so there can still come some changes for the Elephone S7. But still an interesting video to check out as taste of the things to come.

Omg!! It’s a prototype?? Make it real please! I want to but a device like this. The curved edges looks great. But as I read in previous posts that it will release on September, is there any pre booking links available? Or any final release date ?? Please let me know, I’m curious to buy this.

  Elephone troll?
  You want to buy one with curved edges? It’s on the market for quite a time already – it’s called Samsung Galaxy S6/S7 Edge.

    Besides you, wolvie, theoracle and myself, It’s shocking to see so many commenters that were paid to make an elephone post busy. haha. Trust me, you’ll see the same bunch of guys on the next elephone post. You’ll get 1 or 2 bad comments on elephone from them and the majority rest will be positive comments, so, It won’t look too obvious. haha

Dude seriously?? You guys are saying that it’s a prototype? And not the final model? Really?? Is this a joke?? You said it will be launched in September and now it’s still a prototype?? Lol
I wish the prototype becomes the final model and you will not postpone the release date.

  Don’t worry, Elephoney is famous for their “long term” support.
  What i mean “Long term” here is they need “very long time” to their final production.

Show the final/original model of S7 instead of posting about prototypes. This is bit confusing you know. If it’s original it’s awesome but if we see the final model is different, believe me we will be upset. :/

This is a prototype?? Confusing isn’t it?? It looks good according to the specs and price. Make it final model, it would be great.

I Think it will be a very good piece of hardware. Is important that Elephone focuses in software support and bug fixing. Build quality started to be excellent from P6000 .. now keep pushing of software and kernel source code

I bet this would be their final model. It should be because it looks decent! Dual curved display and the color vividness is also good. But at least give some date of release. Or tell the price of the higher version. Or give some camera samples please…

From past models, I can make an assumption that this is pretty much how the final product will look. There might be a slight change here and there, but nothing that big. The phone does look nice and has some neat features, like the screen. From the recent Elephone models, we can see that they have increased their quality of screens, one thing that makes people (including me) really happy with their phones are the thin bezels, when compared to earlier models, there were massive black borders around the screens. Overall this is quite a nice phone, hopefully they keep surprising us with other announced phones as well!

The company has announced that the prices for the S7 model will start at a $100, which is quite impressive looking at what they have to offer on the table. This new model of theirs have some nifty features and in my opinion, that is what will attract the customers – price and the overall features of this device. Ele has been stepping up their game and that’s what matters, offering more new cheap, but well made devices for their current and new customers. What about S7? – Well, my impressions are good, hopefully it is actually as good as they advertise it 🙂

After all these teasers they finally showed the S7 off to us! It’s looking sleek and nice, can’t argue with that, i really hope their quality is just as good and they makes us think it is.. Other than than, it’s a really nice looking phone, of course the designers were inspired by Samsung devices, but still, really nice!

  Lol! This one is so obviously fake. Did you just not complimented on Elephone post just not too long ago?
  Haha. This is just plain obvious and dumb on a new level. I get that you give out fake comments but at least try to be smart on covering your own ass,

and yet again, another new phone from elephone… i swear, they release like 5 new phones a months (joking haha)… although, i must admit, this one looks quite nice! i have seen S7 renders before and i was skeptical and it looked just like a samsung phone, it still does but i don’t think it’s a bad thing. the phone looks really sleek, i like the back as they seem to have it in several unique colours and that’s really great. i also think that price will be a really big factor in the popularity of S7, i wonder how much the other version will cost. anyway, i think this is a good looking phone and it’s worth getting it!
