Elephone Launches Metal Built, Fingerprint Scanning S1, P8000, & Flagship P9000!

Chinese brand Elephone has been making waves recently – particularly when they introduced the 4GB RAM toting P9000 to the world. Thankfully, the manufacturer decided to bring it to the Philippines – as well the large battery-toting P8000 and the budget oriented S1. Incidentally, all these phones are built with metal and feature fingerprint scanners. Not bad at all for the price – which go for PHP 3,999 (S1), PHP 7,799 (P8000), and PHP 11,499 (P9000). They’re definitely worth a closer look, so check out our quick video feature embedded above and the specs below!
