Elephone talk about battery safety seriously on the Elephone S7 & R9


Elephone R9

After the recent problems with the Samsung Note 7, people became more aware of what can go wrong with a smartphone. This is perhaps why Elephone feels the need to assure its customers that the batteries on the Elephone S7 and R9 will be safe to use.

According to the Elephone’s director of product safety Cohen, both the Elephone S7 and R9 will pack absolutely safe batteries.

He explained that Elephone’s battery supplier is the best mobile manufacturer in China, with a fail rate of less than 3 out of a million.

Always according to Cohen, the interior design of the Elephone & R9 is not just elegant, but it also gives the phone a strong structure which should avoid unintentional bending of the device and subsequently security risks.

In addition to that Elephone also improved the battery algorithm for charging, in order to reduce problems like overheating and overcharging.

    Ok, so these won’t explode. Great

    Apart from a different back, and a different weight, is there any difference between the S7 and the R9?

      The Elephone R9 doesn’t have the curved edge screen, so it’s a totally different design, but that’s pretty much about it.

    This is like the worst argumentation ever… “we use the best mobile manufacturer in China, so it won’t explode”. So Samsung used a rate C battery company ?

    Well it won’t explode, it won’t lose capacity either as the phone will fall apart before that not giving a pore battery even a chance.

    Its a good thing they mentioned the bending since it was one of their devices which last had bending issues(I think P7000??). Or it was Elephone, these Chinese multi talents, pioneering a flexible screen and I have it all wrong 🙂

    Stunning how they talk about “batteries safety” with a glorious history of batteries dying after a couple od months… Also “working on algorithms” when all they do is pack a stock mediatek rom and that’s it…

No need to hear from me of course, Just go to their official forum and read from users for yourself. and on another note, yet they can’t even hire proper english literates for their content writing. hahaha

    After the Samsung scandal, every company ran for cover and increased safety standards in batteries. Good for us consumers, more security!

    This is what it takes to get people’s confidence, the battery safety is an important quality in this period.

    One of the reasons because I never liked the built-in batteries. If it is removable,you can check it, and if you see something strange you can replace it quickly, rather if is integrated becomes more difficult to change it.
