[Go Update] Elephone P7000 Pioneer for $159.99 coming

[GoBot]

The powerful Elephone P7000 has been rumored and speculated about for a couple of months now. While we haven't had the best luck with Elephone, the P3000 was an outstanding release and they are a relatively new company, so hopefully they've had some time to mature and the P7000 will be up to solid standards. The Elephone P7000 will have: 1080P (FHD) 5.5" OGS/IPS display with Gorilla Glass 3 3GB of RAM 64-Bit MT6752 SoC Fingerprint scanner 3450mAh battery According to current rumors, the Elephone P7000 will be available for the excellent price of $159.99 if purchasing during the pre-sale. This is an outstanding price given the huge amount of RAM, super powerful SoC, 1080P display and large battery. Unlike some manufacturers, it appears that Elephone is correctly representing their battery sizes. I've liked much of what Elephone has done in terms of style and they've been very smart regarding marketing, but it remains to be seen if Elephone will be able to pick up the pace a bit in terms of releasing phones without critical issues. Anyone waiting for the P7000?

$159.99, seriously?

This is some special 1 day sale only (might even be 1 hour sale). Just to bring hype to the product. Probably going to be $200 or so.

Agreed. It is one day only and I read on one of the forum that it might give you access to the voucher that can be applied on release date. It is a weird type of setup but it means you get a voucher and can be applied on release date only.

Man, if you dudes see this phone for this price even on One-Day Sale, PM the crap out of me. I want this baby so bad. Haha.

But knowing Elephone, this is more or less a marketing stunt. It's very unlikely they'll let go of more than a handful at this price. One thing Elephone is good at is marketing. They are smoking the competition just with their marketing.

I just wish they were also smoking their competition with their consistent build quality...

I wish this as well. If they spent 20% of their energy/investment from marketing hoo-ha into build they'd be a big winner. A lot of what they're doing is very impressive, but unfortunately most people just aren't educated enough to not buy into the hype.

I'm really looking forward to seeing if the P7000 delivers and it would be great to see THL / Jiayu start to take a hint and ramp up their game by emulating Elephone's methods to success.
