Reviews for the Elephone S8

70% Elephone S8 Review
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
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.

82% Elephone S8 hands-on: A solid, no-nonsense phone for business use

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.

6.00":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


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).


77.83%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
