After announcing the Elephone M3 on Friday the phone has now been officially published online revealing a few more details of its features.
Measuring in at 7.7mm the Elephone M3 is one of the thinner smartphones from Elephone, but don’t let the thin body put you off as Elephone have given the M3 a strong feature list backed up with a decent set of hardware parameters.
Stand out features have been listed with a little additional detail over on the Elephone website, and include the addition of PDAF (phase detection auto focus) for the rear Sony IMX230 21 mega-pixel rear camera. The listed specs claim a 0.1 second focus speed, and a discussion with Elephone reps today revealed that performance is better than the same sensor on the Elephone Vowney.
Continuing with the camera specs, Elephone show us that the UI for the camera has been changed to look more like the camera in iOS, and reading the details reveals some form of image stabilisation (likely software based).
Memory on the Elephone M3 will be 3GB RAM and 32GB memory, however there will be a 2GB RAM version launched also with a 13 mega-pixel rear camera.

Full specs haven’t been posted yet, and pricing and final release details aren’t on the Elephone site just yet, but we assume that they won’t launch the phone for sale until after the Chinese New Year.
gonna ship early 2017
Looks like we have an excellent camaraderie here – u, me, balco, maxpower, mattD and many more … 😀
glad to be a part of it ^_^ !
Basically anyone with a modicum of common sense that has any experience with this company.
Then there are the blind, mindless Elephone fanboys like Hexadecimal.
Lol hexfb
Jeah, objective people can really hava a good laugh about you guys xD
Or cancel late 2016.
Looks to be quite good. However i’m not 100% happy with my P6000. THink my next phone will be a Letv 1S
I really want that too but LeTV one x600 kicks it ass, slaps it’s face and calls it a ninny ! So Le One it is!!!!
P10 is a step down from the X10 so why would i want it?
More like “it’s an elephone so why would i want it?” lol
All depends what you do with your phone. For a lot of people the P10 is more than powerful enough. But Matt raises an excellent question below.
Hey Elephone guy with that hexadecimal name, what else can you tell us about this wonderful phone?
“hexadecimal name” ahahahahahahahahah xD
Rolf!
Fu.. , they are fast, makes the P9000 look old already
I like their slogan
Keep expecting and be surprised
soo true
It’s actually:
Keep waiting and be surprised how bad we mess up.
Coming Soon in 2017!!
was looking up for your comment. Chinese New Year 2017. 😀
Xiaomi will have released twenty updated Redmi Note versions by then… Obviously all with locked bootloader and missing LTE Band20
No NFC for those inspecting.
No release anytime soon for those expecting.
Okay it has two models with two different camera sensors, but why two different camera outer shells (one round, looks good, other one square which looks backdated).
elephone kept only test your patience, and one by one lie, they are always getting information about post-SOC, he said he released phone equipped with this chip, then that is the endless waiting, even if you pay money, you’ll still get a picture ——- below this image from elephone official website.
Moreover, not even fast charger, get it all needs to pay another, Nothing is more shameless marketing, a lot of people have asked them to pay a $ 5 refund.
Listed = on sale at 2016 christmas on cancel like Ivory?
Ivory cancelled?
I love the teasers and ‘news’ about every flagship of the week from elephony .Keep expecting and be amused -that s what i understand from their slogan. I like the teasers ,the artificial hype ,leaks more than the devices itself when i see the reviews.Their marketing strategy is their worst enemy.And reality too.
Elephone shouldnt be allowed to reveal a phone without a release date.
