It appears as the Elephone Z1 is getting launched
regardless of how well the crowdfunding campaign works out in the end. The
phone can be funded for US$ 189.99 with an early bird pledge, this will go on
until February 25th. The Elephone Z1 is a
premium looking handset crafted with both lumia-wave technique and In Molding
Label technology (IML) to achieve a glossy and anti-scratch back cover.
The phone will feature a 5.5-inch display with 1.6 mm
super-slim bezel to cover up 82% of the front. It’ll be powered by an Helio P20
octa-core processor, an impressive 6GB of RAM — to get along with the
competition —, 64GB of internal storage and USB type-C connectivity.
The cameras on the Elephone Z1 will be 13MP on the
back while the front shooter will have a resolution of 8.0MP. The phone also
packs a 3,100 mAh capacity battery.
The Z1 is on
Elephone’s own crowdfunding campaign which appears to me as a way to make
customers pre-order their phone at a lower price, which wouldn’t be a bad deal
considering you’re getting a device with 6GB of RAM for US$ 189.99.
