The long awaited Elephone P3000 is now around the corner. Below here you can read the announcement from Elephone. I may get this and post a Unboxing and Review later when I got it. What do you think about it?
•The JDI screen displays sharp and high quality pictures. Meanwhile, power consumption of the screen decreased. There is still power left after heavy use for one day, that has solved the power consumption problem that exists on Android 4.4.2 phones. The camera performs outstanding, and there are lots of options in the menu to fit the different shooting environment. The accuracy of the color reduction reaches 90%. It performs excellent in low light condition.
•Furthermore, the combination of MTK 6592 and 6290 works great for 4G LTE. MTK 6592 is a mature developed Soc that has stable performance regarding running complex functions such as games and multi tasks.
Elephone released the Elephone P3000 in two versions. The P3000 and the P3000S. The Elephone P3000 is the lesser equipped one of the two. The Elephone P3000 comes with a Mediatek MT6582 1.3GHz Quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM memory. The Elephone P3000S comes with a faster Mediatek MT6592 1.7GHz Octa-core processor and 2GB of RAM. Both of the phones have a 720p OGS IPS screen that promises good viewing angles and color reproduction.
Main Features:
Elephone P3000s 5.0 Inch
RAM: 2GB / ROM: 16GB
Android 4.4 KitKat
MTK6592 Octa Core, 1.7GHz / Mali-450MP
Radio/Modem: MT6290
Support micro SD (T-Flash) 128G
NFC Built-in
SIM+micro SIM card, dual standby
Support Gravity/Light/Proximity Sensing System
FM/MP3/MP4/Bluetooth/GPS Function Supported
Note: This phone will only work with GSM+WCDMA+FDD-LTE
Networks: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz FDD-LTE 800/1800/2100/2600MHz
Cons/Minus:
The camera flash is not 100% synchronized with the shutter.
Compass sensor gives erratic output

What should I say....
A MTK6592 quad core combined with a 3150 mAh battery, 4G network , 2GB RAM 16GB ROM, and pretty almost full frequency
Guess that should last forever ...

It seems to be a very good device.....

I've pre ordered, it looks a good phone

Interesting ! I may (pre)order it for a friend.

Good Phone.

Android or MIUI
Does this device ship with Android or MIUI? I read somewhere else that we will have a choice of what system installed on the device,right?

I think with normal Android UI only. Sometimes Elephone then later upload another ROM in their forum (http://service.elephone.hk/forum.php).

Post #1 now updated with FULL REVIEW & GPS TEST video.

I wonder if it's a trustworthy device or if a lot of malfunctions will be appeared in the future.

The Elephone P3000s is a wonderful device so far as i can see. :good: and the awesome fingerprint scanner looks fancy alway like it

What malfunctions? everything works fine on the phone - you should know if you check the review. Only I must say that the Fingerprint scanner is just a gimmick for me. I don't really use it. And if your fingers are a little sweaty you sometimes have to do it twice before it can scan the finger correct, but it's not a big deal. Things like, WiFi, reception, speed, RAM, GPS, display, 3D games etc. works perfect for me on this device.

I am cautious to buy this device because some elephone devices in the past appeared problems. It's a very low cost devise for these specifications so I am afraid of low manufacture quality.
How would you characterize the external material and the quality of the device?
Do you advise me to risk and buy it?

Well, I already told my opinion in my video review. If you should buy it or not is up to yourself. Everything works fine for me on this phone. Previous Elephone models had problems with the battery draining too fast, or that you had to tap 2 times sometimes before it would react, on the P3000S the touchscreen seems to be better and the battery is also really good.

Searching in the web I found that the device is not rootable now.
Is it possible for every phone to be rooted and it will became rootable in the future?

LOL that is completely nonsense where did you read that? all Elephones comes pre-rooted from stock with SU when you buy them. It have been like that since the G series from Elephone. In my Review video in post #1 you can also see that it has SuperSU installed.

Elephone G7, 5.5" IPS HD, MTK6592M Octa Core, Metalframe design

Hi I just got my hands on the Elephone G7 in white/silver from Geekbuying which is quite beautiful. The specs are not the highest (good for the price) but the design is very nice. It comes with the MTK6592M Octa-core clocked at 1.4GHz, 5.5 inch IPS HD and 1GB RAM + 8GB ROM which should be enough for most daily tasks.
First impressions
My first impressions are "wow, very nice device", good slim design and solid quality. The white/silver version reminds a little bit of an iPhone, but of course with completely different design. The frame is made of real metal, and feels cold in the beginning, but gives it a premium feel in the hand.
The display is very big, pretty thin bezels, good sharp picture with vivid colours. But because it is 5.5 inch, is may not be for everyone's taste. But for users who like a big screen it is super. What do you think about it?

Update, here also now some camera samples / tests I have made:
http://plus.google.com/photos/+s7yler/albums/6104506273704586593
The flash does work better on the G7 than on for example the P3000S.
And it scores about: 28.500 in Antutu v.5.6 - an okay score for the MT6592M I would say.

Battery life
How is the battery life ?
How much hours of internet surfing ?
How much j-hours of screen on ?
How much the device loose percentage for 1 hour of youtube ?

I can only give you a Geekbench 3 battery test
http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/15580
We must remember that this phone is really thin also, so not the biggest battery, but it is fine for one whole day.
I put my phone to the charger every night when I go to bed, so it's no problem.

I've put in an order for the black version of this phone after seeing your video. I don't play games on my phones so the specs should be fine for me. Are these phones really limited to 32GB micro sd cards? What happens if you stick a 64GB card in there?

I have just tested a Sandisk microSDXC UHS-I 64GB card, it works in the phone. The phone will the first time just ask you to format it. After that it will be formated to FAT32, and it will be found by the phone with the full space.

3D games actually run fine on a 6592M Octa core even with 1GB. So not really a problem.

The phone arrived today. It's the biggest phone I've ever owned but it's so damn thin and light! Only negative thing is a bit of light bleed noticable on the bottom when using black wallpaper but it's not a showstopper.

Thank you for opening the thread.I have now received my G7 and there are many differences with my Nexus 5.But I'm happy overall.
I'll wait a few days to root.

Phone problem
Hi!
According to the topic. if you can, please help me with this phone.... It arrived yesterday, and I cannot use it:
My problem is the next: I put my micro sim card into the phone. The phone recognize my sim card, ask for my pin code. After the successfully pin code, i am able to reach the normal android menu. But when I try to make a phone call, NOTHING happens. The calling screen is on, I can give the numbers for calling. After I initiate the call, nothing happens, just only the phone thinking, but it cannot make any calls. I realised, that the phone recognize the sim card (I see it on the sim menu), but the phone cannot join my provider's (Vodafone) network. After 1 minute, I see the 3G or G sign on the top of the phone, but when I try to make a call, nothing happens again. Very frustrating. Inside the phone menu, there is an option, that you can choose the network provider manually or automatically. I tried both two version, all the time the phone said: unable to join network. I think this can be a hardware problem. Or can it be software? I had a lot phone before, and i have never ever met such a problem. There is not any scratch or injury on the phone, it is definetively brand new. I tried with other sim cards, but the same result happened. I tried both sim slot (micro and normal slot as well), but the same problem occur. Is is possible, thet this is a software problem?

Yes, it seems so
Let's hope that also the software will be good as well. I'll let you know when I receive it.

Looking forward to seeing any reviews on this phone. From what I understand, Ulefone seems to be on par with Xiaomi in customer satisfaction.
Ihave a couple of questions to get the discussion started:
Can we expect CM13 getting support for Ulefone Future?
What are Ulefone's stance on unlocking the bootloader, will it break the warranty?
Will this phone come with Google apps or will it be lacking those, just like other chinese models?

I currently have an Xperia Z3 for past 18 months. Upgrade with my current provider is costing me €250 to get a Z5.....So I'm keeping an eye out for decent Chinese android phones. This looks interesting and seems to have better specs than the Z3 and Z5,apart from camera. Would this Ulefone Future be a decent upgrade from my Z3?

It probably means that GearBest doesn't have anymore units with the gift package. Every shop works in a different way, take a look at other shops.

This video by Ulefone seems pretty promising.
I just hope that its software will be better optimized because on the Vienna it isn't...

Recharge and Drainage Test​
Ulefone Future has a 3000mAh battery, enough to get a thick flagship device. The 9V/2~3A fast charger that will come in the package is said to fill up the battery in 1 hour, so this can be considered as a compensation to the low battery capacity.
In a latest battery test, Ulefone staff managed to charge the Ulefone Future from 21% to 76% in half an hour with the phone turned on, indicating that a singe charge takes less than 1 hour. Online HD video playback for 30 minutes drained the battery from 100% to 91%. If this reflects real-life conditions, a one-day of normal usage should be covered without issues.
In addition, the Ulefone Future will share the same Pump Express Plus charger that the Ulefone Power has. Also, Ulefone claims that the Future Sony li-polymer battery inside. It seems promising for now.
Ulefone's Blog article: http://blog.ulefone.com/ulefone-fut...test-battery-life-is-not-to-be-worried-about/

Ulefone has just announced on their official blog today that they will begin to ship the Ulefone Future from May 25, after the pre-sale period.
They have already been producing the bezel-less device but they still need 2 weeks to fulfill all the preorders, probably too much than expected, so that all is ready for the 25th of May.
This is the most expensive device that Ulefone has ever made, but the company promise that it will also be the best phone under $300 because this device has some flagship characteristics that other device offered at the same price don't have. Of course we aren't not talking about the CPU (that can't be considered super-performant), but the bezel-less display and other specs.

Price?
How much it cost?

Wow...HOMTOM look like they have lifted their game... This looks like a really decent phone....I wonder what price tag they put on it. But it certainly does stack up in terms of specs. I would love to be able to have a test run of it. If anyone knows how much please let me know.

Hi,
Nowhere seems to mention if the frontal selfie camera brings a flash too. Does anyone know? I have a UMI Touch and it does have a frontal flash which is very convenient. Thank you.

Hi,
was wondering have you got the phone?

I have the phone, the camera is not that great. Decent sensor but too much smoothing. Hopefully can be fixed with a software update.

I have it for over 2 weeks now but not really tested it till now. My phone reboots nearly 10 times every day, thats sad. But there is new software from 2016-09-14 I have not tested yet. First I wanna backup the complete FW but do not find the right files like twrp or something else. MTK Droid Tool can not root the phone too.

Sad to hear all that.
Hope software can render better pictures and solve reboots.

Yesterday I made a Download with SP Flash Tool (no Upgrade) and got the new Firmware and a Factory Reset -.-
But the reboot problem still exists

My main complaints with the HomTom HT10
HARDWARE ISSUES
compass isn't available
NFC isn't available (it was advertised but removed!)
OTG isn't available (it was advertised but removed!)
network reception is bad (3G/4G)
Wi-Fi reception is bad (3G/4G)
not detecting/connecting 5Ghz Wi-Fi networks
audio speaker quality (distortion and not enough bass)
battery losing energy way too quickly
camera quality is bad on low light situation
SOFTWARE ISSUES
- battery saving mode is too aggressive (cannot easily modified for a bunch of Apps)
languages preferences are lost if IDLE or turned off (if you set french language it will comeback later to Netherlands. it could be because Belgium country has multiple official languages (french/nederlands/dutch) or if because the smartphone was shipped from .nl post)
- defaults apps choice in settings is too limited
- If you choose to protect your device with a password (PIN/password/pattern) for intrusion your device is going to freeze and you will have to reboot !
- hardware navigation buttons cannot be modified / edited
- HomTom OS is much less complete than MIUI8 (or even UMI OS)
MAJOR MISC PROBLEM:
There is no official forum to post bugs reports !
There is no updates or fixes for those issues announced.
There is no tutorials yet to flash/root.

Try here though I don't think they have released Nougat for HT10 & may never will!

homtom ht10 scratch
Hello, objection to this cell phone ht10, i know i will not use but i have to write, which is not that it is karst but is rubbish, its gsm connection is not it, even in indoors, means in the room, no signal loses signal if it is covered i lost a total signal, i have a private rental company and because of that karst i lost 20 guests, i did not realize i did not get a signal, android softwer 6.0 is the same karst i can not make a shortcut, i can not call because we the first instructions are inserted and after a couple of typing the connection is terminated or they can only receive the call! all in all the karst scratch of the cell phone!
Yes and I still forgot the camera in the dark room or the object was not flashing the picture was black, wifi bad as it should be rolling, there is more but the lesson is that the device is rubbish, garbage, waste, fuj from the device !!!!!

Nowhere because it's a cell phone shackle

Meiigoo S8 6.1'' 18:9 full display dual-sided 3D | 4+64GB | 13+5MP Dual | Android 7.1

The Meiigoo S8 has now been announced and along with that introduction comes confirmation of the full specs on offer with this smartphone. What is likely to be one of the main points to note is that this is a device that follows in the footsteps of a number of high profile 2017 smartphones by utilizing an 18:9 aspect ratio. The inclusion of this edge-to-edge design allows the Meiigoo S8 to make use of a smaller physical footprint compared to what would be encountered with a device adopting a more traditional bezel level. As a result, the Meiigoo S8 features a larger than usual 6.1-inch display, but within the body of a smartphone more often associated with a smaller display. A design aspect which not only looks to add a premium touch to this smartphone, but one which is also designed to offer a more comfortable holding experience.

The highlight features of the S8 are that it sports a 6.1-inch HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio which takes up 83% of the whole front panel and coated in dual-sided 3D curved glass. Spec wise, the S8 is equipped with a powerful MTK6750T octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 64GB of storage, expandable up to 256GB, dual rear cameras (13.0MP + 5.0MP combo), rear fingerprint scanner, 5.0MP front-facing shooter, USB TYPE-C, 3300mAh battery and Android 7.1 Nougat as the OS.
Stay Tuned for New updates and Review.

I'm not seing much Meiigoo on XDA and wonder if this phone will get rooted. It would be nice to have a "utility phone" to play with. Assume it will be pretty bare bones Nougat (but at least 7.1)

I doubt XDA will have any development, i just got the phone yesterday and an testing it out.

Can't compare it to other phones, since I don't have any, but mine is behaving surprisingly well. It's my secondary phone, so obviously it's not under a lot of stress, but I can honestly say I notice no bugs or problems some YouTubers are having. In fact I am quite happy with it. I only wish the camera was better, but for such a low price the phone is a steal. I'd love to see some cusom ROMs developed for it.

Who knows how to upgrade from Android 7.0 to Android 7.1? In menu: "settings -> about phone -> phone status -> Wireless update" it says that my device's software is up to date...
The photo of Meiigoo S8 in first post is not realistic. The display is not borderless. In attach the real one.

Hi I bought one of these phones but the charging port overheated and melted 2 charging leads. I cannot get parts anywhere, does anyone have any ideas where I might get a replacement board ?

If you want to get rid of this let me know.... I know how to make it useable…
You can delete the systemapps with a Tool.
Even you can delete the launcher and use one of your choice.

How?

Download this tool …
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads
it is for Huawei phones but works with all phones i tested even not Huawei.
Install it and turn USB Debugging on, on your phone.
Then go to modifications klick Show and then you can see all installed apps.
Delete the ones you do not Need. If you delete the launcher, you must install another one before, otherwise you Need to factory reset your phone.

The program tool is not working. It close by itself after see what is the phone connected.

I did it here with the meigoo S8 without any Problems. I tried it at home and there it doesn´t work ! Must be some Kind of Driver or missing .dll files or so.
Try another PC and look if this works then.

I have tried it on 3 different PC (WD 10, WD 8.1, WD 7) . I suspect it for Huawei phone, cause every time it connected to phone then close the app by itself. But I can uninstall sys-apps by used adb shell command.

Hello,
Mobile data doesn't work on 3G and 4G (frequencies are ok).
I tried write on email ([email protected]) but is undelivered.
With hard reset nothing changed...
Does anyone have the stock rom?
