Elephone P9000 Edge to sport a 2K screen, dual cameras, 4GB/6GB of RAM

The Elephone P9000 Edge was announced back at the beginning of 2016, but then the company went silent. A new rumor suggests that the Chinese smartphone maker may have been using the time to up its game with the P9000 Edge.

What was listed on Elephone's official online store is quite different from what might be coming our way very soon. The P9000 Edge was first announced as a 5.5-inch bezelless device with a 1080 x 1920 screen, 4GB of RAM and a Helio P10 octa-core processor that would sell for $329.90 (no taxes included). However, a few days ago, a “website editor” over at the official Elephone forums posted some alleged photos of the front and back of the P9000, accompanied by claims something very different from what we were initially promised, both specs- and price-wise.

The editor claims that the P9000 Edge will sport a JDI 5.7-inch display with a 2K resolution and a MediaTek Helio X25 CPU – the overclocked version of the deca-core Helio X20. The pictures show the back of the device, featuring two cameras and a dual-tone flash, and one of its sides, where a SIM card tray and a switch are located. The switch looks like the three-step mute switches found on OnePlus devices. The poster also claims that the phone will come with “speakers with ACC”, which will supposedly produce sound quality comparable to that of high-end iPhone and Samsung Galaxy devices. No word on battery capacity yet, but the original listing from the Elephone store claims 3100 mAh. Let's just hope that this is going to change for the better.

The Elephone P9000 Edge will allegedly have two versions – with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory, which is expected to launch at $250 (no taxes included), and with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the price of which remains unknown.
