New day, new Elephone S9 rumors. This time we hear about the display the next Elephone flagship will pack and its technology. Let’s learn more about it, shall we?
So, to everybody’s surprise, Elephone announced that the Elephone S9 will be featuring an infinity AMOLED display. Now, it’s hard to tell if this will be their first phone sporting this technology as they’ve launched quite a large number of devices in the last years, but it’s still a step in the right direction (according to most?). Elephone also made clear that since the S9 will pack an AMOLED display, the handset will be able to withstand large temperature deltas, going from -40C° to 80C° without a flinch, which is where other devices would probably go into protection and turn off.
Gizchina News of the week
In addition to that, we get a lower power consumption, a clearer image and the previously rumored “infinity” look, which basically means curved side bezels Samsung S8-style.
Other details we already know about the phone are the USB Type-C port at the bottom with Quick Charge support, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 CPU and the light breathing rear logo which you can check out in the image above.
You’ll find the latest about Elephone phones on their website or Facebook page.
Elephone have given themselves a poor reputation. They advertise devices on their site for months and then they just disappear without any explanation, the X1 and Z1 for example. Plus they upload images that bear no resemblance to the final product, when the S8 was first added to their site it looked like it’s Samsung namesake. Then it finally got released and turned out to be completely different. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do something similar here and it actually only has 2.5D glass and squared screen corners. It’s a shame as when I first heard about them, they’d just released the S3 which, even now, looks great and is more than capable for it’s price. I can’t help but think they try too hard to get attention.
Expecting 2020……
They sure start hyping this thing early into the development process.
That being said my S8 wasn’t all that late and is a surprisingly good phone for the money. The S9 might turn out nice too – sometime in 2018.
The S8 didn’t come out that far from its announcement, and that phone was positively stellar in comparison to their previous devices. Still, you never know with these companies.
infinity display… people really like rounded edges? just asking cause it feels weird to me.
I like them
They’re not too bad, though I still prefer nice flat edges.
Im in love with this phone…….Jan is far!
I hope it comes out before end of 2017, because it sounds awesome and unique on paper.

In fact, if we ignore the problem of shipping, Elephone really produced many good products this year, such as P8 and P8 mini. P8 is really good. But for Qualcomm chipset, I am still have doubts, or it will be a marketing trap?
