Bottom: dual speakers, USB Type C



Left: dual SIM and micro SD tray, smart key button
Right: Volume rocker & power/unlock button



Glimpse of the phone with Android 6.0 Marshmallow which is kina 95% stock Android. Good thing that both cameras can be set at 16:9 aspect ratio



And the camera samples for the main and secondary shooters





I love the overall feel of the P9000 and near stock Android Marshmallow. What bothered me is the single home button which requires certain commands for going back and forth on apps which is kinda inspired on some Meizu phones.

Elephone P9000 is now available at Lazada Philippines for Php 11,499 and it comes with a free wireless charger

Elephone S1 quick hands-on, camera samples

For the start of my hands-on of the 3 Elephone devices, I went first on the most affordable of the bunch.

Here's the Elephone S1.

Back: 8 MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture & flash, finger print reader



Top: 3.5 mm audio jack
Bottom: Micro USB port, speaker, pin hole microphone



Left: SIM & micro SD slot
Right: Volume rocker, power/unlock button



It was my first time to encounter the Freeme OS 3.1 based on Android Lollipop which is a bit good enough for its 1.3 GHz Mediatek MT6580 quad-core processor. I'm happy that it has OTG support. It has over 4 GB of app storage out of 8 GB ROM. The device also has 1 GB RAM



The internal storage was supplied from Samsung. AIDA64 tells more inside of this phone.



And the rear and selfie camera samples in that order taken in Nara Balrooom of Shang in Fort





No doubt that the design reminds me of a fruity handset but it feels premium for it's SRP. The price tag is kinda enough with the inclusion of finger print which they claim that can recognize up to 360 degrees.

Elephone S1 will be available this April 18 12 noon at Lazada Philippines.
