Latest official word from Elephone concerning the new Elephone R9 model is talking about releasing it as a “Classic Sapphire”, which judging by the picture accompanying the press release means just a custom “sapphire” blue look and not any actual usage of the sapphire glass or anything.
Gizchina News of the week
As we already know the bezel-less Elephone R9 is coming with 5,5-inch FullHD display, deca-core Helio X20 processor, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB of storage, full metal body, rear 16 MPix camera, front selfie 8 Mpix camra, fingerprint scanner integrated into the Home button and Android 6.0 Marshmallow as the OS.
We should be getting R9 finally released in September and looks like the ultra thin body coupled with the briliiant sapphire design could maybe even challenge the upcoming iPhone 7, or at least Elephone would surely like that.
Challenging iPhone?? Isn’t it weird?
What about the pricing?? iPhone like? Lol
Chinese brands are doing great this days. Cheap priced phones are giving more that costly heavyweights.
it actually looks like the oppo r9, thought this is the reason for the name
Maybe next year these chinese phones get upgrade with Helio x30 😛
