Elephone C1X - the only beauty

In any conflict, there is a winner and a loser. The smartphone market is no exception. Leading brands receive enormous profits and are really happy with it. However, they do not sit idly by and spend significant time and money on the development of successful phones. The Chinese company Elephone also wants to join the galaxy of winning, but isn't it too early for the company to think about this?

We can judge this on the example of the hero of this review. Let's consider its design. Interesting colors (including mint version) of a metal housing, a fingerprint scanner combined with a curved glass of the display in 5 and a half inches allow the phablet to look great on the background of its competitors. And the screen, despite the "only" HD-resolution, demonstrates good quality of the image due to high levels of brightness and contrast.

However, meet on clothes, and escorted to the mind. Here the problems begin in the new item. The MT6737 processor is used and in cheaper devices, and all its advantages are reduced to 4G support and low power consumption. Even coupled with 2GB of RAM and a Mali T720-MP2 video card he will miss the power to run demanding applications smoothly at maximum graphics settings. Talking about the performance reserve for the future, of course, is silly.

Photographic abilities of the phablet are also satisfactory. Instead of the usual 13-megapixel modules are installed 8-megapixel, though the production of Samsung. It is coupled with a 5-megapixel front camera that can capture high-quality images, but can't compete with the best representatives of the segment. The battery capacity has reached 3000mAh, meaning about 5-7 hours of screen time activities. OTG and modified Android Marshmallow improve the impression of the device which though has a chance of good sales, but it is only a strong middling, not claiming the laurels of the best-selling gadget.
