Samsung Galaxy S7 replica. The current premium model of the Chinese manufacturer ElePhone S7 has been put through our test course. Its outer resemblance to Samsung's counterpart is striking. The technical specifications of ElePhone's S7 are very promising and the first impression is also positive.

Overall the Elephone S7 is a beautiful well-crafted and powerful phone within its peer-class. It offers an extremely sharp and vibrant screen with appealing curved glass edge. It has a smaller battery than most phones but the quick charging ability offsets the faster battery drain rate. The included Mediatek Helio X20 deca-core processor offers a lot of computing power which helps the phone run smoothly with resource rich content while still leaving enough excess computing headroom for anything else you might want to run in the background. The camera is well balanced and able to take some really nice and sharp photos. Lastly we are quite please to also see that Elephone is still pushing out updates and supporting this phone, which is uncommon for most Chinese phone manufacturers. Right now it is in flash sale at $179.99 for Elephone S7 3GB 32GB version. Thank Gearbest to send us this good product for review.

Overall, I’m fairly neutral on the Elephone S7. It’s a limited device with some obvious flaws, but then again, it’s a budget-friendly phone with decent specs and a great screen. I guess it very much comes down to what a user is looking for in a smart device. The Elephone S7 is clearly not the “full package” so you’ll be required to pick and choose based on your preferences.

The Elephone S7 is a very good-looking phone at an affordable price, with decent performance and a generous helping of storage. On the down side the cameras are disappointing and the rear panel is plastic. Even at this price you don't need to compromise so heavily.

This is an affordable, beautiful and premium looking handset that houses a deca core processor. Overall the performance is smooth, you can use reliance Jio SIM with VoLTE support and battery is decent enough. The camera quality is average. Not a bad option for $229.99 (approx Rs. 15,000).

The hardware is okay, but it really falls short considering that it attempts to be a Galaxy S7 Edge. Plastic replaces glass on the back and the camera takes a dip. The Ele S7 can definitely stand on its own, especially considering its ~$250 price point. The Helio X20 performs rather well, though you will not find any custom ROMs for phones running the MediaTek chips in general. That is a huge downside for some people.

The Elephone S8 has a lot to offer under £200, including a large, very decent 16:9 Quad-HD screen, but it's not the upgrade to the Elephone S7 we were hoping for. Its design is a real departure, more Mi Mix Mk II than Elephone S7 Mk II, and it loses nice touches such as the microSD slot and headphone, while upgrading the battery, charging port and cameras.

Blessed with a fantastic screen and a very reasonable price point, the Elephone S8 comes highly recommended in the realm of budget blowers, even if it does lack some creature comforts.

All in all, I love the look of this phone. It might not be as fast as the 6GB phones I mentioned earlier, or have as many extra features as the Doogee range of phones, but for everyday business use, this phone has everything you need, including a USB-C connection and a 4,000mAh battery with quick-charging capability.

Comment
Elephone:
The smartphone manufacturer ELEPHONE Communication Technology Co. Ltd. was founded in China in 2006. The sales numbers are limited and so are the number of reviews. The ratings are average (as of 2016).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
ARM Mali-T720 MP4: Integrated graphics card with four clusters clocked at up to 600 MHz. The chip supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and is typically produced in 28nm.
ARM Mali-T720 MP2: Integrated graphics card in ARM based SoCs. Can be configured with up to 8 cores (T720 MP8) and 650 MHz core clock (at 28nm). Supports OpenGL ES 3.1, OpenCL 1.1, DirectX 11 FL9_3, and Renderscript.
unknown:
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
ARM Mali-T880 MP4: Mobile graphics solution for tablets and smartphones, which can be found in ARM SoCs like the HiSilicon Kirin 950.

6.00:
It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
No weight comment found (one expected)!
72.49%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
