64-bit processors are on the verge of becoming mainstream for Android devices but they aren't only for the big-name OEMs elephone has just released its first 64-bit smartphone hello there my name is Gary Sims from and/or authority and this is the elephone p2000 if you haven't heard of le phone that's not surprising because they're not that big here in the West yet however this Hong kong-based company has been producing some interesting phones recently if you want to know about my feelings about the name le phone then please check out my review of the elephone p2000 nuff satan okay moving on to the design and build the first thing that struck me about this device was how solid it felt the weight the case and the construction make the device feel sturdy this is also helped by the thickness at 8.9 millimeters it isn't overly thin which in my book makes some devices feel too delicate but it isn't overly thick either in terms of design language we are talking about black and gray with rounded edges most of the fold exterior is made up of the back battery cover there are no separate edges per se but rather a deep removable casing that includes these edges even the volume rocker is part of the cover interestingly any phone has tried to make this little more elegant by sloping the cover edges towards the corners this gives the side of the phonus like curved look as the cover slice downwards and the screen takes over on the front is the five inch 720p display the front-facing camera and I said a blue capacitive keys at the bottom the HOME key glows when used and also flashes when you have a notification but the back and the main new keys don't have a backlight down the right-hand side of the volume rocker and the power button both are easily accessible when the phone is held in your left hand however they might be a little bit too close together sometimes I found myself to turn the phone off by mistake when actually all I wanted to do was adjust the volume on the top you'll find the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack while on the bottom edge is the microUSB port le phone has placed the microUSB port off to one side rather than placing it in the middle it looks different but the end of the date makes no difference for or for worse flipping the phone over you'll see the prominent elephone logo the speaker grille the flash and the camera lens the five each display on the P 6000 is very good considering the price point of this device the IPS display has a resolution of 1280 by 720 and that works out about 293 dpi overall the color reproduction is good and the definition is great as are the viewing angles some people like full HD displays for v in smartphones however for a budget device 720p is more than adequate at the heart of the p6000 is a mediatek mt6752 it is a quad-core cortex a53 based processor which is coupled with a mali t760 GPU this is the first time I've tested a phone with this combination of GPU and CPU and overall I've been very impressed during 2015 this kind of CPU GPU combination will become the norm for low and mid-range phones the cortex a53 is almost a super power efficient variant in its first generation of 64-bit processors the mt6 7:32 uses four cortex a53 cores or cropped 1.5 gigahertz according to le phone this processor is 20% faster than media Tex optic or 32-bit cortex a7 based processors but yet with 30% less battery consumption my experience of using the P 6000 is that the processor package is fast the UI is smooth and rapid in fact it offers the fastest UI that I've personally seen on a Chinese OEM phone the p6000 handled everything I asked a bit including gaming and video for a breakdown of the individual benchmarks please check out the written review ok on to the hardware the phone comes with the 2700 milliamp hour battery which is slightly less than I expected I guess the rationale is that the 64-bit cortex a53 is more power efficient than the 32-bit cortex a7 once you factor in a 720p display rather than a full HD display then this size of battery should be ok however I've been using the P 6000 now for several days and I've come to the conclusion that the battery life can really only be considered at liquid it will last from morning through to evening around 15 or 16 hours but you'll only get about three and a half to four hours of on-screen time and that's if you avoid intensive tasks like 3d gaming talking of 3d gaming I also found that when you're doing lots of gaming and lots of other intensive tasks the back of the device can become quite warm according to my individual app testing you'll be able to play 3d games like Riptide for around three and a half hours on one charge or you can watch YouTube for about four and a half hours also on one charge as for audio the phone has a single speaker on the back of the device probably shouldn't expect too much from it however it can certainly say that it is loud here is a sample so you can judge for yourself however one irritation is that the speaker is completely flush with the back cover which means the sound becomes muffled quite easily let me show you in terms of selling the network the p6000 supports 2g 3G and 4G LTE the 2g support is probably global however the 3G and 4G frequencies are aimed mainly at Europe Asia and the Middle East please check out the written review for more details now looking at the memory the p6000 comes with two gigabytes of RAM which is excellent for a phone in this price range in terms of internal storage the device comes with 16 gigabytes of flash and has an SD card slot which can accept cards up to 64 gigabytes thank for that unlike other media tech based devices the internal storage isn't divided up you get access to the whole lot which is around 12 gigabytes once you leave space for Android etc now let's turn our attention to the optics the phone has a 13 megapixel rear facing camera and a 2 megapixel front facing camera the pictures are crisp and the color reproduction is good the sense of struggles a bit in low-light situations but for outdoor shots I was quite impressed the included camera app which is probably just the standard AOSP app offers a few interesting features including HDR and panorama in the settings you can change things like the exposure level the scene type the white balance face detection and so on overall the app is fairly comprehensive but it doesn't have any advanced mode or filters you can also install and use third-party apps including Google's camera if you'd like to see more sample shots then you should check out the written review on the Android or thority website you'll find the link in the description below in terms of software the p6000 runs stock Android 4.4 you get access to Google Play and all of googles services including YouTube Gmail and maps interestingly the device is rooted by default and comes with chain five super su pre-installed however what is more interesting is that le phone is promised to release an over-the-air update to upgrade this phone - and with 5.0 lollipop there is no actual official release date however it is expected soon and so what about the price well you can pick up a telephone p6000 for less than a hundred and sixty dollars which is amazing when you consider the overall specification of this device and so there you have it the le phone peace Ickx thousand is $60 4G LTE phone with a 64-bit processor package the price is good the performance is good and the promise of an upgrade to Android 5.0 lollipop is quite enticing my name is Gary Sims thanks for watching you can follow me on Google+ also don't forget to subscribe to a handler authorities YouTube channel and a big shout out to my brothers over there and royal authority to J's joe/george LAN Kevin the tech ninja and ash and as for me I'll see you in my next video okay here's hoping for lollipop update come on lolly pop come on your system is up to date
