Elephone P8000 listed on Flipkart, what’s cooking?


Elephone are notorious for managing to be in the news all the time, for reasons right and wrong. The company’s newest flagship to have landed in users hands, the P7000, may not have been the success the company would’ve imagined, but that hasn’t stopped them from announcing the P8000 for next month.

The very device, i.e., the Elephone P8000 was found to have been listed on India’s Flipkart.com. If you aren’t aware, Flipkart has been the e-retailer of choice for many a Chinese brand, including Xiaomi, and now, OnePlus.

For now the listing certainly looks nothing more than a placeholder, but then that’d only be if Flipkart has plans to sell the phone. Flipkart moved to the marketplace model after trying out its own inventory for a long while, so it is very well possible that it’s a reseller who’s wanting to sell the phone on Flipkart. Even then, the placeholder does raise a few eyebrows.

We should get to the crux of this story in the coming weeks…

Thanks for the tip, Rohit!

    Just to post that GEARBEST have answered my ticket, to tell the phone is not in stock until July…

    I requested my money as I don´t want to wait for 2 months for it to arrive.

    Lets wait and see how it ends…

      The P8000 is on PRE-SALE at Gearbest with 26 days remaining of that PRE-SALE, why on earth did you need a ticket response to tell you it wouldn’t be dispatched until July? Really is that what all the fuss was about?!

          Ah, my mistake for thinking it was relevant to this post. OK Cheers Airyl.
          Perhaps someone could post a compendium of the best bits (or alternatively just ban him).

      1.3Ghz? I thought it was 1.5Ghz as Elephone said on their offcial site. Well, it changed the specs just now. Elephone, be honest and don’t fool around!!! It seems only Ulefone Be Touch 2 is eligible for the word “flagship”.
