The phone was rumoured to be powered by the Helio P10 with octa-core processor. However, that’s not the case here, it’s powered by MediaTek MT6580 with Quad-Core processor. It also runs on Android 8.1 Oreo Go Edition.
Design
Talk about being budget-friendly and looking premium, the A2 has a wooden texture and gives off a vintage vibe when held. The rear camera and LED flash are in vertical position at the top left corner.
While the Elephone logo sits pretty in the middle, when you turn over to the sides, you’ll be graced with a fingerprint scanner. A side fingerprint scanner has always been faster than the one at the rear.
Display
The screen is pretty decent, you get the standard display here, the screen dishes out the trending 18:9 aspect ratio. The narrow bezels are also super minimal and tiny, while the top houses the usual features.
The 5.47-inch HD+ IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen boasts of 720 x 1440 pixels in resolution and 294 pixel per inch density, this should make the screen sharp enough for users. There’s a 2.5D Curved Glass on top as well.
