Design
The Elephone M3, at a glance, looks the part of a more expensive high-end device. With its premium metallic chassis, this device just oozes class. Unlike other high-end phones, however, the Elephone M3 is a bit thicker and heftier due to its extremely large battery. While this may pose a problem for people with especially small hands, the thickness and weight make it feel more like a power users device rather than a toy.
Display
Rocking a 5.5 inch IPS screen that has a 1080p resolution (specifically 1920 x 1080), this phablet is a real beast. Despite the fact that its sheer size would give most people difficulty with one-handed operation, the Elephone M3 more than makes up for it with its screen quality. Boasting a sharpness seldom found in its price point and vibrant colors as well as superior viewing angles, it makes for a beautiful multimedia device for viewing everything from podcasts to HD movies.
Performance
With 2000 megahertz ( 2.0GHz ) of power and 8 cores, the MediaTek Helio P MT6755 powers the Elephone M3 without breaking a sweat. It can play all the latest games and movies in stunning detail without breaking a sweat, rendering heavy games in glorious HD and quickly loading large apps in seconds. With 3 gigabytes of RAM to boot working together with an efficient octacore processor, this phablet becomes a multitasking beast, easily outperforming most other phones that only carry 2 GB of RAM.
Features
The Elephone M3 only has 16 GB of memory which, while being only borderline acceptable, can be expanded by up to 128 GB with a MicroSD card. Connectivity-wise, the Elephone M3 is no slouch: Boasting the latest Bluetooth 4.0, 4G, 3G, WiFi, and mobile tethering options, you’ll never want for more when it comes to staying in the loop. Though lacking a gyroscope, its built-in accelerometer is enough for most games and apps that require movement. But when it comes to navigation, the Elephone M3 is kitted with a GPS as well as a digital compass for absolute location accuracy. Lastly, its fingerprint sensor allows for convenient and foolproof security; it makes use of the sensor in its lock screen as well as other more sensitive applications like as a password replacement.
Camera
One of the key selling points of the Elephone M3, its camera is the definition of high end. Carrying a beautiful 21 MP rear camera with a Sony IMX230 sensor and a 5-megapixel camera on the front, this phablet can take beautiful pictures, night or day. Aside from that, it can take videos in full 1080p HD; this the best available resolution today save for 4K. The front camera is no slouch either, being perfect for selfies with a wide angle.
Battery
The Elephone M3 packs a 3050 mAh LiPo battery. This is much more battery capacity than you can find in most smartphones, being nearer to the average capacity of tablets. Combined with the power saving features of the MediaTek Helio P MT6755, this powerhouse will last you for the whole day even with heavy use.
Final Verdict & Conclusion
With the inclusion of the latest version of android as well as more high end specs than it has the right to have in its price point, the Elephone M3 is a device that definitely gives you the most bang-for-your-buck and is a great purchase for everyone from the media junkie to the power user to everyone in between.
