Elephone S7 Special Edition

Elephone S7 gains high popularity from consumers around the world and it's growing since the day it got exposed .

Not only because of the exellent configuration: Deca-core Helio X20 chip, 4+64GB memory, bezel-less FHD 5.5 inch curved display,

and the stunning appearance : breath-taking lumia wave on the back which is made by 15 layered complicated craftsmanship, but also the exciting price starting from 139.99USD

Today we just got the newest official comfirmation: A Special Limited edition of Elephone S7 will be launched soon, this model

will be quipped with more powerful Helio X25 chip

Other details are not confirmed yet, later we will announce them on official media.

Got a new firmware build (11/23) today. BIG improvements! Touch panel works very well now, just the lag when scrolling slowly is still there, but that does not annoy me much if everything else works well. System performance was improved big time as well. Gaming performance too (but still not on-par with other Helio X20 phones from LeEco, Meizu...). By the way, GPS has issues contrary to my initial statement. I did a few more tests with it and sometimes it seems to loose a lot of accuracy. I will try to dig down the cause of this. Some say it might be a loose GPS antenna contact. Let's see.

would you say this update makes the phone good as a daily driver?
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickzeptepi:
I'm considering buying one of these - It's either Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 32gb or this S7.

It's a mainly a price thing there's not much in it but the S7 give me a slimmer & lighter phone.

No games, mainly used for a few photos, surfing, maps, reading ebooks.

Can the S7 be rooted easily I get the impression it can from the advertising.

I'd appreciate your opinion

Elephone better should be announcing the release of kernel source code. Else this whole forum section is useless

[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DerTeufel1980:
Because xda developers is a developer forum. But without kernel source code, there's no development = useless
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pro4TLZZ:
Because we can take the kernel source for the fast charge driver and add it back to the p9000 which had fast charging removed

Hi everybody,

I was following this smartphone announcement from the beginning and I'm really interested.

My 2 requitements for a smartphone is: good camera and good GPS for navigation.

Someone that have the Elephone S7, could please help me describing those 2 specs?

I read about the photos with flash that are burnt but what about picture quality without flash?

I read also about GPS problems... is the navigator unusable because of this?

Hi. I'm planning to buy Elephone S7. Does anyone from UK have any experience with online shops? I would welcome any advice as I never ordered anything from HK before.
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickzeptepi:
You shouldn't have much problems with any of the approved suppliers, the biggest pain is if u have to return it, unless it's proper faulty you have to cover postage.

I've ordered numerous items Inc phoned tv boxes etc packaging damage on other items but bit with a boxed phone.

Strange isn't it the fear of stepping outside of the normal way of doing things the UK is quite strong, once you do you'll be glad you did and laugh at all the zombies sticking to the 2 year contract for an approved zombie phone full of crap ware that's locked down like your in a invisible prison.

The only thing I fear is getting scammed by a shop. There are simply too many. Gearbest, Geekbuying, Elephonestore and the list goes on. My wife bought some stuff from Aliexpress but never electronics. I plan to get 4GB/64GB ver or just the S7 "mini" but I need to find some reviews about it's CPU first. I guess my safest bet is Elephone website and Priority shipping?
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickzeptepi:
I've had no problems with GearBest geekbuying tinydeal 1949buy & everbuying all delivered, a couple of customer service enquiries dealt with fully.

Priority shipping often goes through DHL or UPS who get a kickback for identifying items that need a customs check for duty tax to be added.

You can ask them to declare the value to be below what ever the taxable limit is.

Or just use normal shipping with tracking.

Your as likely to be scammed but these as u are by Amazon, ebay,

Pay with PayPal they can pull the money out of there account and refund if you can show you've been scammed.

I know this phone has been getting a load of negative press since it's release and nobody can get the claimed AnTuTu score of 87k. But as long as elephone keep trying to sort the bugs and release the SC for 3rd party developers it should be a pretty good v soon....

I've also ordered a strip of heli tape to put a clear cover over the plastic rear panel. It should give it a glass panel appearance and protect it from scratches If you don't want use the silicone cover. it might be a good alternative. If it works out I'll post a vid.

Heli tape is a thick clear sticky sheet used to protect painted surfaces such as bike frames.

I'm wondering about the 3GB + 16GB version. I find very little mention of this particular version, most reviews don't even acknowledge its existence and only mention: 2GB +16 GB; 3GB + 32GB; 4GB + 64GB . Even in the Elephone store there is no sign of it? Does anyone know why that is?
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] InsGdt76:
It's still around. GearBest look like they are restocking it in early Jan 17

I suspect that the 16Gb model got a lot of attention because off the very low $139 price point. The 64Gb model seems most popular on these forums as the users here are all pretty tech minded and couldn't resist the better specs at $220. This leaves the 3GB model out of the spotlight.

I suspect when it came to catching up with the backorders, Elephone may have chosen to focus on the 16, 64 and x25 models, leaving this out in the cold.

Just guessing.

my review Elephone S7

Well I would like to post my feed back about the S7 x 25 version.

I ordered it when it was first on preorder from Elephones store in HK.I ordered the green version and was linked to Gearbest to buy it.

I wanted many months and then was told the green version would be delayed,so I waited another month,still nothing,so I paid more for the X25 version in blue

Well here are my pros and cons

Pros:

Great looking phone

Not expensive

Able to order screen protector and cover at time of release of phone.

Fast.

There have been 2 updates since I have the phone

Cons:

No sound at phone start up

Elephones own feedback app on phone crashes every time

Battery life really bad,I am light user and get about 8 to 10 hours

NO sound on touch screen at all

Can not use live wall papers,phone crashed after 5 to 10 mins and goes back to default photo.

Can not use 4K video ,as when selected the phone locks up..

Touch screen is no responsive at all,you have to press really hard .

GPS is terrible.

Customer service is ZERO at HK store.

Would I buy another Elephone phone,I think unless things change with updates,NO

Multifuncion Home Button E-Touch and all functions underneath

Home key has always been an important part of a phone, do you know all these useful functions included in S7's home button that I'm going to tell?

Through setting the short-cut key you can open a specific APP with one touch on the home button.

Forget other ways to get screenshots with both your hands, now you can easily get sreeenshot by touching the home Button for a few seconds.

Of course, there is a very convenient E-touch function in the home button -- such as touch to back, and touch twice or press to show the home page.

How many functions have you found with S7's home button? Try them out!

Mine came pre-applied but only after a couple of weeks the side edges are accumulating dust and I'm sure will peel up.

Is there glass screen protector out there?, I haven't found any in a quick search.

Have any removed the film? If so how does the screen stand up to scratches?

The pre-applied screen is basically to protect the phone during the trip, not a real screen protector. I've removed mine and applied the other one included in my order. I don't know if I'm allowed to put the link here so I won't. You can find it on Gearbest: Original Elephone Explosion-proof Film for S7 - TRANSPARENT, it's about 9€.
