Ying HuaOctober 12, 2016

The long awaited new Elephone models S7 and R9 are finally available for a pre-order and you can do such thing on the company’s official website. But that’s not all, because just by reserving your piece you will automatically participate in the “lucky draw” where you can win various accessories, other models or your order for a tempting $0 price.

Also if you will share your reservation of Elephone S7 or R9 on the social media sites like facebook or twitter for example, then you will receive another free bonus gift in form of VR glasses. The reservation system is open until October 20th so plenty of time to participate.

And just so you know what’s there two phones are about we have two introductory videos for you about each of the models. So sit back and enjoy.

Elephone S7 sports bezel-less design, 3D radian In-cell FullHD screen and the back cover utilizes 15 layers of composite materials to achive some pretty nifty lumia light effect. And the phone should be available in variety of tempting colors – blue, green, gold and even the fashion black.

Elephone R9 on the other hand has full metal body with very thin 0,6 mm bezels, FHD In-cell JDI fully laminated screen with NTSC color gamut and the design of the phone is made carefully using techs like nano-injection molding process, sandblasting, polishing and anodizing.

Both of the models are equipped with the deca-core Helio X20 processor, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB ROM and Android 6.0 Marshmallow as the OS. For such configuration and looks the presale price of $139.99 looks very very good and you can find more information about the phones here or eventually here.

Excellent smartphone’s model …. but that phrase “STARTING FROM …” I never liked … also if the phone is worth the price, I always thought I wanted to be clear on the price from the first moment!

As to four colors, i prefer to choose blue one, 4+64 GB, the back cover of S7 is more stunning than other colors i think.But the black one is more like iphone 7 jet black version. Maybe i can not hold this kind of color, because i still love blue.

In my opinion the Black Shining color is the best.. btw if you use a tpu cover or leather cover, color doesn’t matter more or less

I saw the introduction video of S7 earlier but this introduction video of R9 is so kick ass. Man! Simply mind blown. And good news finally they are releasing it after 3months of news after news. Both are well equipped by specifications. But only the gold variant comes with lowest price? I wish they would provide the blue variant with same price, that could be better.

60,001 entries already made I just saw!! It seems their news and hype is affecting on people’s decision making. So many people are interested and joined in this program. I’m thinking to get a R9. Price is not that high as MI 5 or 5S. Let’s try this brand once, fingers crossed.

I really don’t get it, they are saying that both variants of 5.2 and 5.5 inches display will have helio X20 CPUs ??? But seems not, because in Aliexpress I see Elephone S7 mini which have MT6737T quad core instead of X20 deca-core CPU, please elephone explain us, will you have 5.2 Inches S7 Helio X20 deca-core 4GB RAM/64GB ROM version or the only 5.2 Inch version will be the 2GB RAM/16GB ROM MT6737T one ?

  I believe the 5.2″ S7 is an X20 but with only 2GB/16GB available in this size – this is the $139 phone.

Now when it comes to screen protection , I would love to see some testing samples just like cool pad did a couple of weeks ago, do some hard screen tests and show the results. A flagship must have the capability to face difficulties specially screen tests. So please reveal a video on that if possible Elephone. Does these 2 comes with gorilla glass or some other screen protection?? This is not clear to me.

Why nobody can remember that Elephone promised that S7 would start from only $99.99 ??? And finally it has been declared as $139.99!! That only for gold variant. And what we got at $99??
Only C1?? Which has good parts but only 2 mega pixels on front?
Is this good? You guys promised something and finally giving something else. :/

It is always nice to get something at a low price, but the question here is if these two are as good as they look. I mean in the past, this company hasn’t had a really good reputation with after sale service or providing updates with their other released phones. It is completely up to you to choose whether or not to buy any of these phones.

Interesting, although let’s admit that no one is getting a phone for free, that is not likely to happen. Gotta admit that they are trying to attract new customers and that’s welcome for a company like their

Sure, nice offer. What about quality of s7 and r9 phones though? Won’t they just drop support for these devices after a month or two? It is really questionable.

DAMN FREAKIN’ SHIT, all the posted replies before me were FAKE PAID POSTERS !!!!
I was wondering how much Elephoney pay per post. Their paying rate should be very good.
Why this Elephoney have to keep paying fake posters if their products are good ????
It proved that their products really SUCKS until they have to pay to Fake posters to say good things about their bad products.

Woooow, GUYS and GIRLS I’m even more mad now >:( , because Elephone lied to all of us that it will have MTK6797 X20, but instead of that there is a MTK6797M which we ALL know that this is a lower “power efficiency version” of all Mediatek SoCs and it is even clocked at 2.1 Ghz (2 x A72) instead of 2 x A72 clocked at 2.3 Ghz, so expect very low performance in all benchmarks because of this MT6797M. Here please take a look at the video at 2:04 :
