Finally up for pre order at gearbest, been keeping an eye out for it, for a while. Lets hope that elephone don't have any more delays

http://www.gearbest.com/elephone-s7-_gear/

I picked up there high end black version, cost me £210, including expedited delivery.

CPU: Helio X20
Cores: 2.0GHz,Deca Core
GPU: Mali T880
RAM: 4GB RAM
ROM: 64GB
External Memory: TF card up to 128GB (not included)
Back camera: 13.0MP
Front camera: 5.0MP
Battery Capacity (mAh): 3000mAh Built-in

For a £200 phone I think the specs are ok, the camera is probably a bit poor, but I do like the edge display.

Not used gearbest before, they have charged me upfront for the pre order.

You'll have £50 odd Customs on top.

Gearbest don't 'disguise' the package.

I swear I have seen a design like that somewhere before

Every week they release a new phone...

And just how likely is this phone to get any security updates or new version of Android?

I went with the expedited delivery, is that not paying your import taxes upfront. Pretty sure I have used this with goods from amazon usa. It was £17 for the phone, but I do get the phone in 5-7 working days as well. It should arrive this year

I am currently on the elephone p7000 mobile. There was issues with supplies for the camera, think they fulfilled all pre orders, and then the p8000 came out straight after. My p7000 got one update from elephone on arrival, that was for the camera, but nothing since then. I have had a few for android though, think it was just security fixes, nothing major.

I think the p9000 has been very well updated, sure I read that it was getting android 7 update. I think they have improved there customer support for firmware updates.

Expedited delivery usually just means faster. I've never come across a situation where it means anything else.

No


Nothing to do with tax...

Elephone don't stand still, only put the s7 and r9 up for reservation, think there is a little delay on the r9. Guess what they are already leaking there next phone

I might look at switching my order from gearbest, if geekbuying put it up for pre order. I only paid £12 import tax to dhl Germany for my last phone, think it was £170 ish.

Its on the way, 3-7 day delivery. Good timing because my ele p7000 wont switch on, I have a replacement battery and it still wont power on, same when plugged into the mains. Last week my laptop refused to recognise the phone, did a full reset etc but nothing

Good old elephone, on the day the despatch my phone they announce a special edition with a more powerful processor, x20 is now x25, pricks

The phone has quick charge but you have to buy an extra charger That's an extra £10 delivered, another 1-2 week delay.

So I was looking for a case, only 1 official so far and I don't like it. The phone has almost the same dimensions as a Samsung s7 edge, out by 0.5mm. I was looking at buying a Sammy case but then it dawned on me that the camera and probably the buttons are out of place, so I have gone for a pouch instead. I wasn't bothered by the camera being blocked.
