Elephone surprised everybody today and just released an image and some interesting details about what we assume is their next flagship phone. The company appears to be calling it Elephone S9 as we can see from their post on Facebook.
What’s really interesting about the phone is that it’ll be the first ever Elephone device sporting a Qualcomm CPU, more specifically the company stated that it’ll be equipped with the powerful and efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 660. If that were to be confirmed, it would be a huge step forward for the smaller Chinese phone maker.

Of course, we hope that’s true as well as it may lead other similar companies to adopt Qualcomm SoCs, at least on higher end devices.
Another important detail Elephone has revealed about this Note 8-inspired phone is indeed the presence of a flexible AMOLED display. Elephone say it will be the third device sporting such technology, after the Samsung S8 and Samsung Note 8; we assume they mean in 2017.
That’s as much as we know at the moment, other than what it’ll look like, which if you’ve read up until now, you know it’s a carbon copy of the Samsung Note 8. Learn more about it on the company’s official website (when available).
It’s not first time nor a first Elephone to use QC SoC. First whose Trunk with S410 all do it whosent bad the SoC whose (& that whose in golden MTK mid/entry lv days) so it never got much traction. Who knows if pricing/quality is good & they release sources on time this one could be good (but I don’t have a high hopes regarding it happening).
Ahhah you still remember the Elephone Trunks! That was an oddity, rare to see a QC in an Elephone, and a midrange 660 at that!
Well shot me, I even whose saying something in positive manner about Elephane. I do remember… I also remember that hybrid smart watch Andi rewievd back in those days which probably whose their solo only rather really good product ever. 😉
Funny thing is it whose so long ago & real IoT time never came.
