Powered by a massive battery and a Snapdragon chip for fast performance. We actually unboxed the Elephone U smartphone when it was released in the begining of the year.

Covered with Aluminum Alloy and Glass as usual, it’s exactly the same as the Elephone U smartphone. Sporting dual vertical cameras at the top middle, with a fingerprint scanner underneath and a dual-LED flash by the side.
From our unboxing, we saw the glass back reflecting light beautifully in the most subtle way. The Elephone logo at the bottom corner also makes this device look as premium as possible. It’s available in Golden, Black, Blue and Granny Hair colors.
