Curved screens have become a
mainstream in the high-end smartphone market. We have already seen have dozen
of curved screen smartphones this year, and it’s promised the trend will be
actual in 2017 as well. There is a thought curved screen handsets should cost
too much. Probably those who have expressed this phrase are familiar only with
the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. But the fact is there are several handsets from
this category that won’t make you pay a fortune. I want to exclude the Xiaomi
Mi
Note 2 from this list, because only a few features are missing in this phone to
be the God. As for the rest of curved screen handsets, we have already come in
with a corresponding article providing who can compete with the top-notch
models. One of those models is the Elephone
S7 – The World’s Cheapest Dual Curved Smartphone under $150. It’s a great
handset packed with a decent list of specs. Thus the low price tag doesn’t
matter – we are dealing with an astonishing phone, which is great in terms of
appearance as well as performance. Moreover, we have already managed to test it
and the Elephone
S7 scored 86.380 points at AnTuTu.
But no matter how you slice it, the selling point of the Elephone
S7 is its look. So we decided to come in with the Elephone
S7 Design and Packaging Review in order to make you get acquainted with the
attractive appearance of this handset.

S7 Unboxing
The first thing catching our eyes
is the phone name of S7. Yeah, that’s the Elephone
S7 review, but ‘S7’ sounds and looks better. Agree this is a good marketing
idea. However, Elephone has
decided to offer this phone in a simple box made of cardboard unlike the
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge that comes in a black box.
The bottom of the Elephone
S7 box carries some standard info on the phone. It’s in English.
Though we are dealing with a unique
smartphone, many think this is a Galaxy S7 Edge clone. I don’t like to think
so, but cheap smartphones often don’t come with their own design.
Anyway, the packaging comes with an
exclusive protective film. This can be very helpful, because there are not many
protective films for this handset available for purchase.
There is also a regular SIM tray
removal pin.
… a quick start guide written only
in Eglish.
I have a feeling this phone is designed for foreign market.
Plus, there is a special protective
case.
Finally, the Elephone
S& packaging includes an AC adapter as well as a USB cable. They are in
white.
The adapter output is 5V2A.
The USB cable length is 80cm – not
that long but it still useful.

S7 Design
The Elephone
S7 comes with a big 5.5-inch display, but you won’t have any inconvenience when
holding it, because the curved edges make it very comfortable in terms of
ergonomics.
The home button is below the
display and the fingerprint scanner is located under the home button like many
new smartphones.
The proximity sensor, the speaker
and the 5MP front camera are located on the upper side of it.
The phone comes with a 2.5D glass,
and the stereoscopic feeling due to this process is outstanding.
The Elephone
S7 comes with a protective sticker that carries information on what buttons and
ports are the on the phone.
The back panel is reflective and
gives a feeling of the old good Huawei Honor 8.
There are antenna bands on the top
and bottom sides.
Elephone
logo and technical certification are printed on the lower side of the back.
The back camera with a 13MP sensor
and a flash light are located on the upper side near to the left corner. It’s
popping out a bit.
Like the Bluboo
Edge this handset shows various faces according to reflection angles.
The bottom side comes with two
speakers, a micro USB port between them, and two rubber antenna bands made to
improve the passage of the radio waves.
The top side carries other two
antenna bands and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The SIM tray is located on the left
side. You can install two nano-SIM
cards or you can use one of the slots for microSD
card.
The right side comes with a power
button as well as volume rocker.
The Final Words
That’s all, folks! As you can
assess from this gold Elephone S7
review this curved screen smartphone actually looks amazing, and it can make a
competition to any handset from this niche. No complain on the design, and I
guess when we’ll come with a complete Elephone
S7 review, it will showcase a great performance as well.
The Elephone
S7 is regularly priced at around $230 (3GB + 32GB), but you can use the coupons
to get it for a lower price.
