textual review (translated with google, so sorry for english not so good)

Packaging, Content, Aesthetics:

The packaging is blue, elegant and quite bulky, definitely the same for S2 and brother S2 Plus.

Box contents: 1 Power Supply with USB socket Italian 5V 1A, 1 USB cable, 2 screen protector films (glass front and rear, additional to the two already applied), 1 Manual Quick Guide in English, the first clip for extraction trolley Sim .

Elephone also adds a useful cover in transparent silicone that is well suited to the smartphone, and offers good protection while being slim and invoice rather cheap;

- External dimensions average for a 5 ", particularly positive given the thickness: it measures 142.7x70.2x6.8

- Power button and volume rocker on the right side, with keys in general good feeling, not too prominent, but with slight pressure game.

- Jack Audio on the top, bottom microUSB connector, trolley sim on the left side that has 2 micro sim or 1 micro sim + 1 micro sd.

- Cover glass.

- Excellent ergonomics, total weight about 131g including SIM and Micro SD.

- Soft touch buttons at the bottom is not backlit, visibility in the dark and then nothing.

- Led Notification of red on the top left, active in office and for missed calls / sms.

- Display brightness is very good, good viewing angle saw the IPS screen, auto brightness fast enough to adapt to different lighting situations, LCD screen with a slight predominance of cool colors but with the settings Miravision possimo adapt it to our esigienze (the brightness tends to be slightly too high in the dark, you could optimize better).

- Touch precise and good smoothness of the film provided (but retains fingerprints), multitouch 5 touches, no hesitation or jerkiness in dragging icons or pinch-in / out; Writing is very fast with Swype function that type quickly with multiple fingers.

- Two sim slot: Micro Sim both (this is the switch via software 4G / 3G slot between 1 and 2).

- Presence MicroSD slot with capacity tested up to 64Gb (if you want to use the Micro Sd'll have to give up the second sim).

- Battery is not removable 2100mAh declared (which instead has a real capacity, measured by ammeter approximately **** mAh)

- Android 5.1 64bit of 16 June 2015 virtually stock launcher with 3 inherited from KitKat.

- Open app and switch between apps quickly, browser preinstalled with some flaw (which is instead put Chrome without great hesitation in pich in / out!).

- Management of excellent 16Gb of internal ROM, which are available in a partition from 12,5Gb for apps and data

Connectivity:

WiFi b / g / n with no problem, stable coupling, power average of cinafonini the same band.

BT 4 without any compatibility problems or pairing

OTG: Perfect tested with cable and micro USB memory stick

GPS: some indecision, the fix satellites cold impega less than 40 seconds but the navigation signal is not stable, we hope a software update that resolves the problem.

Camera:

- Main camera 13 megapixel f / 2 with or without flash enough; the room begins to lose much use in low light (like everyone else, since the flash does not work miracles).

- Good speed of focus, camera interface STD Mediatek (already seen in many others, inherited from the old interface and various Jellybean Kitkat .. would need quite a refresh)

- Flash with little power.

- Good performance video, some indecision only in focus, slightly jerky in situations of movement.

- Secondary camera for Selfie 2Mpixel f / 2.8 fixed focus, no special claims

Bench:

Antutu 5.7.1 20200 points here .. I was disappointed, not so much for the overall performance during use, which are still good thanks to ram ddr3, andorid to 5.1 and the efficiency of the chipset, as the results of the individual tests see the whip cpu and video card evils t720, not designed to handle an HD screen.

Geekbench 3 with about 1323 points in the multi-core test and 478 in the single-core test.

Geekbench Battery Test (5h 30 'screen on time, do not make a miracle, but put it in line with other smartphones that are ergonomics and weight their best weapon).

Audio:

Good sound quality, slightly lower the ringer (you can lift it by acting in engineering mode MTK in the audio section).

Audio speaker maximum volume good, unhappy position of the speaker, in the back which could make you miss calls when resting on the table.

Good vibe and good sound with headphones.

Conclusions:

PRO:

- Price about 140 € for a Hardware medium level, good quality general assembly and materials.

- Design and managed double tempered glass "scratch", the aluminum frame gives a certain elegance uncommon in this price range.

- Panel 5 "IPS HD with good color fidelity, brightness and viewing angles.

- Dual Sim (Micro SIM) and support SD

- Gestures screen with Double Tap to turn off the screen and other functions.

- Led Notification superior color Red.

- Presence of bands 900/2100 MHz 3G and 4G 800/1800 / 2600MHz for maximum compatibility with telephone operators in Italy / Europe

- Otg properly functioning cable bundled.

- Requires Android 5.1

- Silicone Cover bundled

AGAINST:

- CPU Mt6735P 1Gb Quad Core 64Bit disappointing in benchmarks, while enabling a user experience of the phone still good.

- No Battery Removable 2100mAh (which should still be able to bring to end the day with an average use of traffic data / company / calls).

- Gps with low precision.

- No backlit soft touch buttons.

- Battery is not removable and capacity less than stated (as more and more often we find in cinafonini).

- Glass front / rear that hold very footprints with the front reflecting very light.

- Since the use of double glass, if not carefully we handle the smartphone without any protection, the first fall you will have unpleasant consequences.

- Despite being dual sim, using two SIM you can not eat at the expansion card.

- Trolley Sim difficult extraction scroll imperfect guides.

- Tendency to produce localized heat in the back, when put under stress by using GPS, data and video display / gaming.
