Yesterday’s info about the upcoming Elephone R9 thickness revealed that even though with 7.55 mm it’s not exactly for the Guiness Book of Records, but still it can aspire for a position of some slim mannequin in a fashion show. And today we can some more information about the sliom R9 concerning the popular screen-to-body ratio. Of course it’s done via comparison with the chinese favourite iPhone 6 Plus.
Both Elephone E9 and iPhone 6 plus have the 5,5-inch screens so at least we are not comparing apples and oranges, pun intended. Looking at the dimensions iPhone measurements are 158.1 x 77,8 mm, while Elephone R9 has 149,6 x 73 mm. Using simple math we can quickly find out that the screen-to-body ratio is 76,48 % for Elephone R9 and only 67,9 % for the iPhone 6 Plus. So yay, win for the chinese champion at least in this challenge.
Gizchina News of the week
The comparison pictures are indeed supporting the math, because the Elephone R9 really looks more sublime and the screen looks to occuppy bigger space on the body compared to the iPhone.
Damn that iphone looks ancient – what do all the isheep see in it.
IOS security and ease of use along with updates and less banners in browsing apps.
Yeah, people pay over 1000$ to see less banners here and there… Because, you know, to install an adblock or to use firefox is such a nuisance… It must be that, probably it has nothing to do with the chance to show everyone you’re using a brand which is supposed to say “hey, I’m da man here, boi”
I will tell you one thing…have owned around 8 android phones and I really liked them,The one I love the most was LG G2 with custom rom.I used MIUI on older devices and I also liked it.Prior to that had an iPhone.As an IT I know how to install adblocker, I have installed themon IOS devices too.I bought the latest iPhone not becouse I want to show anyone I have an iPhone, but because you can not buy a deacent small 4″ phone you can actually use and put in a pocket.The largest phone I had was 6.5″ I had it for two years and I liked it, but used a smaller phone for running and sports.So in the end I bought G2 which was smaller and I wanted even smaller phone.For work I usem my laptop and ipad and in the end I figured out that I do not need a big phone as I will be glued to net trying to do things which can be done faster on tablet or pc which are with me instead of working with my phone.For quick replay a phone is ok, but not for reports or letters to customers.I really do not like to show off with anything and my iphone is in a black nontransperant case which does not show nothing about the product I use. What I do like is a possibility to replay to messages on ipad or portable…and that is about it.I am sad that I can not record phone calls as I could on my android phones but I can use the special apps our company uses for products we sell as not all run on android.So do not be ignorant and call me an isheep as you know nothing about me and what people buy or do is up to me an you.I know as well as you perhaps do what each platform offers and why it is better, choose what ever you like.I know whay I bought it, if Xiaomi did put out the mini I just might have bought it, but no manufacturer with android except Sony and their bloatware is selling a small 4″ phone with really top specifications.Sorry but there are none, not mentioning the accessories,cases,etc.
You’re in an ever decreasing minority and soon manufacturers won’t cater for your group. 5 inch is the new compact and 5.5″ is going to be the norm as it’s presently the best compromise bridging the gap between a tablet and phone. Though limited a phablet is perfect when on the go.
Meanwhile this is another poor comparison from Elephone. The iPhone 6 Plus is a monstrosity (especially compared the regular iPhone 6) and even bigger than the 6″ Mate 8 and the Galaxy Note 4 and 5.
lol
at least it’s original. Elephone looks like a cheap rip off. hahaha
Oh how nice of you to drop in detective Hakim , how’s the GizPolice today?
Well how is it like getting paid with pennies from elephone? haha. More recently created fake accounts TimNotCook, GGPlayer, Tera88, Michael 9. You guys are just plain dumbass. The readers at Gizchina already know you’re fake so go a get real job
Haha keep up your good work detective , you’ll make captain 1 day.
Thanks. Can’t say the same for you tho. You’re really bad at being a fake commenter. haha.
Hakim, you should let this happy customer reveal all the glory of his favorite brand to GC readers. His ease with english surely disqualify him as an Elefraud employee, so he’s probably showing his loyalty for free.
Plus he got boobs. Can’t beat a guy with boobs.
He’s way too odd. Try clicking on his profile you can see he only comments in gizchina and on elephone posts from day 1 of acc creation which is 2016. Someone join in gizchina just to compliment elephone. very odd! haha. not possible, you know that hype.
He’s obviously an employee, I was just kidding ^^
ah! your previous comment was sarcasm intended. sorry, i missed it 😉
iPhone sucks, but Elephone sucks more. =)
When the iphone 8 comes anither year from now with samsungs curved amoled Qhd screen and it copies wirless charg thats been out for years now and water resistance and dual cameras, and says its a worlds first then the iphone want look so ancient, they will have to copy but, put next to a Samsung S6 or S7 the iphone looks like the ugly step sister with the camera bump as a wart.
Ehi Hakim Farouk, can I write that this smartphone like me so much???
that doesn’t even make any sense. hahaha. but of course since you’re not smart, it would probably make sense to you elephoney. You should at least go to school
You’re right, but my English is not perfect …. I’m Italian …
When I deal with you, if I use google translator, I’m a fake user, if I write without google translator, I’m not smart …. thank goodness there are people like you, who can write correctly so many languages with no help !! !
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
P.S. My post was: I like so much this smartphone!!!
Ok, this smartphone is super…can we know when it will be released???
From the latest photos I seen, it does not seem so equal to an I-Phone. Let’s say that today all phones look alike on the outside, just a key or a curvature in the same place.
Why get a bigger phone with the same display size that won’t fit your pocket? I mean the iPhone is more hip, but the Elephone R9 will win me over. I’m sure of it, even when this phone isn’t yet released.
With this R9 and the S7 model, they will take the market. Although if the features are in line with the current market, but they spend a lot also with aesthetics!
It ‘s amazing … seem to see the same phone after a wash in the washing machine … it’s just shrunk!
