Any user who made a choise in favor of one or another mobile phone often acts blindly. No one bothers to read the specifications, watch video reviews and generally think own head.
So after these simple procedures I decided to buy the Elephone 8000, which attracted me a large capacity of the battery. Accoring reviews this devise has powerfull 8-core processor, good camera and elegant appearance.
When I unpacked the phone, it was too heavy. The weight of the phone is over 200 grams which is more than the competition. The next disappointment was due to the battery. It turned out that the battery runs down very quickly, it just "melts" in your hands to 15% per hour of active use. Antutu tests showed 27,000 points, which is less than that of similar competitors.
I tried to find the answer to these questions on the forum's page or social media public. It turned out that in this phone there is a "known" problem with the battery, but no one could explain to me how to fix this problem. I install the last update over the air, did a lot of manipulations, including tricks with the engineering menu. Nothing helped. The phone was buggy.
Except that the phone battery discharged very quickly, it charged very slowly. From 0 to 100 the phone is charging 5 hours long. This phone is not charging from car charger or PC via USB. So if the phone lost the charge in your car, then it turned into a "piece of iron", you will not be able to charge it.
After two weeks of using the headphone jack broken. Now it was impossible to listen music. In three weeks the look of the phone has become too "shabby", although I endured the previous phone 3 years in my pocket. And then it looked better.
Then I decided that this Chinese device should be sent back to own homeland. I was disappointed in this phone. It's just a heavy piece of iron with a weak battery, poor camera, non-working headphone jack and specific community arount it. I asked to return my money from the seller, provide my evidence, and he gave me the money back. Great!
A
small addition on the phone after two months of use.
I've updated the phone over the air once. After that the phone just does not turn on. One of my friends volunteered to re-flash the phone by wire. I gave him the phone, he flashed to factory firmware by default. After that I didn't update over the air.
After that the phone began steadily to fall off network: 3G-4G-WiFi. After some time began to hang the main screen, so I had to restart the phone. I'm very tired, because I was expecting a package with another phone.
After firmware resetting the phone began permanent problems. Refused to work networks: 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi. After some time began hang the Home screen, so I had to restart the phone in such a situation. I'm very tired, because I was expecting a completely different quality.
