The Elephone S8 is one of the latest tri-bezel-less devices to hit the market, but some of you may have noticed it costs slightly more than what the competition offers, albeit still much less than Xiaomi’s MIX 2.
Elephone say that people are still willing to spend a bit more to get their handset and they explained why; let’s hear them out.
1. The Elephone S8 is the first tri-bezel-less smartphone to feature a large 6.0-inch display and 2K resolution, with a 92.4% screen-to-body ratio; it also sports a deca-core processor.
2. Elephone decided to produce a more premium device and thus used higher quality materials instead of cheaping out. This probably makes the device more stable and more durable on the long run, but does add production costs and final price.

3. The Elephone S8 is equipped with 3D curved Lumia material on the back with a thin sheet of glass over it. With these materials the S8 supposedly looks more beautiful and solid as well, compared to similar devices.
The Elephone S8 is currently available over at Gearbest with a $40 off discount. If you’re interested head over there, only two days left before the offer expires.
What do you guys think about the reasons Elephone gave for the higher price? Do you agree with them? Let us know in the comments section below!
2X the price and less bright screen than VkWorld Mix .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw14ibjO2tE
not really worth sorry
2K display will be darker than FHD, but it’s clearer and has higher saturation. I suggest you to try compare a 2K display phone and normal FHD phone in your local store. In total, 2K display is better than FHD. That’s why many large brand also start to use 2K display. Personally, I prefer 2K display.
2k is pointless if you don’t use VR. You can’t notice 2K on a 6 inch display, So, It’s pure gimmick. The display is too small to render 2K in it’s glory. and 2K displays are not necessarily darker or has better viewing quality, it depends on the technology of the display, like whether it’s Amoled compared to LCD and etc. You don’t know what you’re taking about.
I think if you have a good eye you can see the dots on a FHD 6incher. I wouldn’t mind if it was an amoled FHD anyway.
That’s biologically, not possible. Unless you have micro or magnifying vision. Many say that they can tell the difference but in reality its just the difference in display technology that they are seeing. I can guarantee if you use a Galaxy S8 (which I am) and toggle the display setting from FHD to QHD, you won’t be able to tell the difference.
Sorry I was talking about a 6inch HD display. That you can see
Still impossible to see. What most people see is the placebo effect.
LOL you do not have to be able to see a single pixel to tell a difference. You can perceive a better quality without seeing pixels one by one. I know, I have 2K phone.
Are u using the galaxy s8 like i am and change the settings between fhd and qhd? U wont be able to tell this diff. And this is the best example cause its the same display. So diff screen tech wont be in the equation.
The display is 6.0″. You really think it’s no difference? I guess you haven’t seen the 2K display smartphone. The effect is obvious.
Let me requote, That’s biologically, not possible. Unless you have micro or magnifying vision. Many say that they can tell the difference but in reality its just the difference in display technology that they are seeing. I can guarantee if you use a Galaxy S8 (which I am) and toggle the display setting from FHD to QHD, you won’t be able to tell the difference.
In addition to that. Currently, I own the S8, LG G6, Honor 8 pro which all have 2K and had previously owned many 2k display phones, fyi
I write from HD redmi 4x after owning elephone s7. 4 hours SOT on s7, 10 hours now on redmi. And screen as good IMO. Would never come back to former s7 (sold difficultly in mint condition…)
well, I’ve never supported Elephone, but their S8 really does seem the only “bezel less” which is decently made so far. The Screen looks very premium and camera shots are surprising for an MTK device (of the smaller brands).
Thanks so much for your support, Sir. About the disadvantage, you can tell us in facebook PM or other social media channels. We will develop it.
The back is looking very attractive. It’s decent! Recently I’ve ordered one and waiting for the device to come π

No sd card slot? And no nfc? Why?
In my opinion the phone looks great and the screen top notch. One thing that bothers me is thr lack of 2.0 ufs storage – it’s a resl bottleneck having emmc. Also, they could have used the X30. I would pay 25 dollars more for that. Camera software and firmware should be taken very seriously and should be hyper optimized.
I agree about the look of the phone… Expecting (hyper) optimized software is a bit too much for elephone though…you should be lucky if it doesn’t have too many bugs

S8’s back side is looking very attractive . And 2K display will be darker than FHD, but it’s clearer and has higher saturation.
Yes, your phone has a “better” DARK screen that you can enjoy when not using outside. Whoo. Worth paying twice redmi or vkworld ?
Then I suggest you buy two units of HD vkworld. When you play game or watch videos, you will regret the decision.
Sure not. Videos work very fine on my redmi 4x human eye cant go further 300ppi, unlike stupid commercial “arguments”
Not even talking about the 3/4hours screen on time reached by then expensive elephone s7
You won’t be able to watch your video if you do 1hour browsing before… So fhd or 2k won’t change much
300 ppi was a lie created by Apple to sell people on their “Retina” Displays.
Multiple scientists have debunked it since then, in fact most of them can’t actually agree on what the true number is because of the way human eyes work and the differing in people’s visions. But most claim it is a lot closer to 1000 ppi than 300.
Cue the Elephone employees:
Lol

The Gionee X1s still remain the best. See the specs >> http://www.prexblog.com/2017/09/gionee-x1s-with-16-megapixel-selfie.html
That’s a piece of junk compared to Elephone S8. Why did you even bring it up? LOL.
I see you like comparing shit and piss.
The Elephone S8 is equipped with 3D curved Lumia material on the back with a thin sheet of glass over it. With these materials the S8 supposedly looks more beautiful and solid as well, compared to similar devices. I’m so excited to use this phone.
I like the S8 very much. But for a premium phone I expect a lot more FDD bands, than the mere 4 offered here. Pity.

This coolicool crap is fake. I have been watching it for more than 2 weeks and it’s always out of stock. I eventually ordered from Gearbest. But it’s a pain in the ass too as it never ships out the phone for about 2 weeks also. May be it’s still in presale and there are no actual phones? If I could find a seller who could ship immediately I might cancel the order.
It’s not that Coolicool or Gearbest is crap, it’s that Elephone is crap. They never even come close to launching when they claim they will.

2K flagship!! Read at Forbes they have placed this at number 1
Damn… all this fuss about 2K screens and bezels and build quality…
You’re missing the point : this phone has a deca-core SoC ! deca means 10 ! 10 is sooooo much it’s crazy, this phone must be soooo fast and strong and unbelievable and worth every penny you’ll spend on it. So stop hesitating about screens or bezels and buy it before there is no more !
(I hope I’ll get my cut for lying like a whore, Elephone)
So are you a whore?? π€π±π±
I thought you could be a stripper ππ
Depends on the tip π
