Elephone S8 now $42 Off over at AliExpress


Apparently Elephone has really ramped up the production of their latest Elephone S8 as they seem to push out more deals on the already best selling device. This time the offer takes place over at AliExpress with a $42 total discount; let’s learn more about the S8 before heading over there!

So, let’s quickly recap what are the main features that make the Elephone S8 the phone lots of people are buying.

2K display

First things first, the Elephone S8 comes with a high resolution 2K display which is unseen on devices with the same price range.

4000mAh battery

Next we have the big 4000mAh capacity battery which will grant at least a day of heavy usage.

Mediatek Helio X25

Another good reason to buy the Elephone S8 is the Mediatek Helio X25 CPU it’s equipped with. The deca-core processor is one of the most powerful on the MTK side, and paired with Android 7.1.1 Nougat, will bring a really smooth user experience.

3D curved lumia

The last feature is a bit of a personal choice if you like glass back phones then you’ll probably love the Elephone S8 and its 3D curved lumia back. According to Elephone it feels and looks like glass, but it’s much more durable.

If the reasons above convinced you, head over to AliExpress and get your Elephone S8 with a $42 off discount! The special offer will end in a week, so hurry up.

    Now this is good, AliExpress is more reliable than Gearbest and also a bigger online seller. Elephone could do this earlier.

      AliExpress is not a seller : its a platform for sellers like Amazon.
      Gearbest is a seller.

      Every seller depends on constructors, and constructors don’t behave the same way with each seller.

    Seems good. Have Gearbest started shipping the 1st batch orders?

    In fact I really love this phone, its battery, display, system. But no SD card slot, what a pity! Why???

    Awesome phone. I just wish it had a SD card. Butbthe funny thing is, in India none of us use SD card instead we use 2 sim cards. Hahahaa

    The battery seems to be the highest ever by Elephone right?? I never saw any Elephone device with 4000mAh capacity.

    I’ve got one on preorder. It seems to be typical shady elephone though. Prorder sale after preorder sale. A few fake reviews and the elephone squad commenting on these sites while not a single smartphone gets sent out over long periods of time.
    I am in no hurry since my Xiaomi Mi5 still works but I wonder why elephone keeps being so unprofessional.

        Hehe true that. Something positive: Mine just went from processing to “packed” at gearbest. It seems that the dates seem to be correct this time.
        When I ordered they said Sept 26th.

            I’ll do that. So far I am used to Xiaomi and their pretty good quality. I am curious how Elephone compares. I don’t need a powerful CPU meaning this one ticks all the boxes but it has to run stable. We’ll see.

            Edit: My last try to buy an Elephone M3 ended in a refund because it kept being pushed back over months.

      AliExpress is not a seller : its a platform for sellers like Amazon. Gearbest is a seller. Some seller using AliExpress may be more reliable than Gearbest, some may be less reliable.

      Elephone is renown for advertising products way before the said products are shipped to sellers (and probably lying to sellers on delivery date).

    I bought all my phones and tablets from Aliexpress. All of them have problems. Very disappointed with them. So this time I pre-ordered from Gearbest and it has been shipped out yesterday. I am hoping this time it’s ok and not some returned phones.
