Additional Information

The company Elephone made a test battery smartphone Elephone P8, which lasted 12 hours with continuous playback of the video series. Of course, the merit of a high-capacity 3600 mAh battery is indisputable here, but the processor's energy efficiency also matters.

Helio P25 - one of the most advanced developments of Mediatek, is positioned as a processor with a sufficiently high performance and careful power consumption. With this processor, Mediatek switched to a more subtle technological process - 16nm and an optimized layout of computational cores, which significantly reduced heat generation and improved power consumption by more than 25% compared to Helio P10, and also increased productivity. Obviously, the smartphone will cope with games and everyday tasks easily, without spending extra battery power.

Recall that the Elephone P8 is equipped with fast DDR4 memory (30% faster than DDR3) with a capacity of 6 + 64 GB, cameras on 21 megapixels and 16 megapixels from the best manufacturers, an excellent 5.5 "screen, and, not least, supports all LTE 4G networks used in the Russian Federation And quick start and excellent quality of the navigation, which was demonstrated by the manufacturer.

Do you need a more powerful better sound so you can share your favorite video or music with friends?

A smartphone with good sound quality gives you a clean and real music experience, regardless of headset or speaker usage.
Elephone P8 with NXP amplifier provides the greatest musical possibilities. Besides, it allows you to perfectly express the bass and reduce noise, and also protects the speaker. The NXP sound chip attracts the attention of many leading brands and electronics manufacturers, but not everyone can afford to install it due to cost savings. But still, this sound system can be found in the devices of leading world brands - Apple, Vivo, etc.
In order for our customers to feel the difference and were definitely pleased with the choice, we added this sound system to the Elephone P8 and tried so that it would not affect its value for you.

Watch the video to see the Elephone P8's sound quality!
In the first song we hear a clear sound, such that it is difficult for other brands to achieve such a quality!
In the third symphony, we can hear a good combination of high, mid and low frequencies, like at a real concert!
Please use a high-quality headset to feel the full charm of the NXP sound chip.
We understand that it is difficult to transmit the sound quality through the camera, but we tried to select the camera with the best sound perception, we cannot guarantee that you hear the sound of the P8 exactly as it is, but we can be sure that the sound quality of the Elephone P8 will cause love you him.

Elephone P8 is a fast and powerful device with excellent cameras and a battery; this is the most balanced solution with the best possible set of features, which is rare today.

A pics view from the balcony

Yes ... Photos of course ...: beee: Color reproduction at the level, sharpness too, but the flowers are terrible! What is white, what is black. Well, this driver curves and not the camera. That is, for example, if you shoot your face against a blue sky, you will become a black negro. : D I have a tablet with 8 megapixels and it is better to remove the flowers.

pacan2014Try also from the balcony in sunny weather in HDR mode to remove. : blush:

The first photo and selfie are normal, the rest are dragged back to black! What is it so in the black drags? Is ISO not working correctly? : scratch_one-s_head: Even HDR did not help, sadness! :(

Well, I think not a module from SONY 21 megapixels so ugly fotka. Of course, firewood or camera optimization settings in the firmware.
Conclusions: In general, if the contrast is high, the camera is lost. Dark makes it all black, light generally white! We photograph only in the evening in the mild weather. Class !!! : beee:

Well, I do not agree, a good camera and "does not drag into black", it feels like your monitor is darkening.

What I see is the detail is excellent, the dynamic range is good, i.e. at the same time in the photo you can distinguish clouds against the sky, and dark objects in the shadow are clearly distinguishable. The black car is black and not gray, white clouds in the blue sky are distinguishable, but they light up a little on the first photo, on the other standards, but these are essentially trifles. The detail is good. Soap quite a bit in the corners, the noise is normal.
Compared with a professional camera is not worth it, but I think with good smartphones of A-brands quite agrees ..

They stuffed me too: instead of P8, they sent a p8 mini! And the seller notified about this when the smart arrived already in Kaliningrad. I apologized, threw everything at the suppliers, offered to leave it, he would return the difference, or send it back, he will send me mine, etc. I told him clearly: I send back, you pay the postage, and then you send me my order, but not by standard mail, but by the transport company! Otherwise, I’ll make such reviews to you that Mom don’t worry (for them it’s very important, for a certain amount of bad reviews they can be chased from the Aliekspress site). Here I am waiting for an answer. : thank_you:
And about the firmware and updates, I can say one thing: p7000 still works for me, I also bought with pre-order, 1 update came in a month, then THEY HAVE FINISHED ... This office with dopilivaniem big problems .. But the truth is, the phone It has been working without problems for more than 2 years, although it has fallen, the display is cracked, but everything works.

08/11/2017 The phone came to me, 14 days was on the way. On the official website there was no information about tracking, pull the support, throw them in angry letters in English demanding to provide you with information or return money, must answer.

How did the phone come, put the update through the air, found that the application "Phone" is crashing - solved the problem

here is a video

https://youtu.be/EBR_uH0-50Y?t=39

, close the application "Phone" and clean through the application "Contacts", so that in the beginning there are no contact names:
1) Digit
2) Points, icons
3) duplicate characters (KOH ++ TA , KT11)

A photo

The phone itself is quite pleasant in work, I am not an expert and not an esthete, but it will definitely fit for my needs. The camera must be set up, I think the application can be corrected juiciness.

XPyCT93,
Try to enter the engineering menu through the "Phone" or make a USSD request. "Phone" will fly either at the first, or at the second, or immediately in two cases. Therefore, at the moment the most working method: put another dialer.
doom1980
Solution only for devices with root already received.
