I bought it because I wanted to try something new. And also wanted to try the fingerprint sensor of this phone.
As the features of the smartphones are,
The Elephone G6 is another octa core powered handset sporting a 5 inch screen with HD resolution. It is running KitKat with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage. This handset comes with a finger print scanner placed on the rear and the same can also be used for navigation.
Box Pack
Inside the box you will find the G6 handset, screen guard, 2250 mAh battery, general user guide, data cable and travel charger. Earphone is not included.
Design, display and OS
The Elephone handset looks good, built quality is very good and so is the finishing. Elephone is light weight at 125 grams and dimensions are 71.13mm x 143.75mm x 7.68mm. G6 is curvy – slimmer towards the edges, back panel is black colour with matte finish and the sides are greyish black, slightly shiny and blends well with the back cover.
This is a dual SIM handset. There is a normal SIM and a micro SIM plus a micro SD card slot. Power button is on the right side, volume rockers on the left, micro USB and 3.5mm audio jack is on the top.
The capacitive touch screen is 5 inches supporting 1280 x 720 pixels resolution. Touch is smooth and viewing angles are okay. There is LED notification and 4 sensors – accelerometer, light, magnetic and proximity.
The Elephone G6 runs on Android 4.4.2 with customized UI.
Memory and Storage
The G6 comes loaded with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage. About 1.1GB is allocated for apps and 5GB for phone storage. Of the 1GB RAM, free RAM on first boot is 395MB. OTG is supported and you can install apps on the external storage.
Performance
It is powered by MediaTek Octa core MT6592 clocked at 1.7GHz with Mali 450 GPU. Performance was smooth and I did not find any issues as such.
After using this smartphone for a month I have found that for playing games its the best smartphone as it's processor is awesome, but talking about it's finger print sensor it is not good as coolpad 3 or le 1s. Its more usefull for navigating purpose only.
