The Elephone P8 Mini is aiming for the best price for the most specs crammed into the P8 Mini’s humble frame. This unassuming phone features some very impressive specs for the price.
A dual-camera at the rear and a 16Mp selfie camera with soft flash, a colossal 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM. It doesn’t sound like the kind of specification you would usually associate with a budget phone.
5inch? phones are rare nowadays, especially ones with specs worthy of mentioning. The phone is quite compact for a 5? phone, measuring just a few mm taller and wider than my very compact Zuk Z2. The P8 Mini also feels incredibly light, most likely due to the mostly plastic build. The entire phone is plastic save for the metal plate on the back. It feels fine in hand but doesn’t exude a premium feel above its price.
On the front, we have three capacitive buttons and some bezel around the screen, Elephone has definitely not made this as bezel free as possible.
The 1080p IPS LCD here looks incredibly saturated, one of the most deeply saturated screens I’ve seen on an LCD so far, and that’s a good thing. Putting it side by side pretty much any phone I currently own (even the Xiaomi Mi6) and the colors on every other phone pale (literally) in comparison to how deep and saturated they are. I even checked Miravision and reset it to default settings but the screen stayed just as saturated. Needless to say, using the screen is a pleasure and everything looks great.
This is the one misstep Elephone made when designing this phone, at least that was what I thought; a 2860mAh battery in 2017 is just not going to cut it right? Well turns out I was only partially right, this phone has excellent standby battery drain, draining about 1% every 2-3 hours. However, I was only able to get around 3.5-4 hours of screen on time with this phone, so about average, and definitely not great.
The front facing camera has a higher MP count than the primary rear camera at 16MP, but here we see definite proof that MegaPixels are not everything in a camera, as the rear camera’s photos resolve much finer detail than the front facing camera.Video quality is OK for 1080p, but it has trouble focusing on the subject properly, you are usually required to aid it with a tap.
