        That would be amazing. Well seeing as Gearbest have fallen through on the Ainol mini PC, any deal on that with an actual ETA and I would snap it right up! Would also be happy with a Beelink Pocket P1.

      Vivo, Oppo, OPO and Meizu are pretty much on the same level as them, I would say.

      • FutureTech on 12/05/2015 - 23:04

        It's so great to see that Chinese branded phones are getting good reputation overseas. A couple years ago nobody would by a mobile phone with a Chinese brand, not even people in China.

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 12/05/2015 - 22:13

      Pretty much the same as an iPhone 6 Plus and all those others Rorschach listed.

  • mostlygordon on 12/05/2015 - 22:18

    The Q&A on the link says no Play Store. Can it be installed, or can you only side load apps on this phone?

    • ravian33 on 12/05/2015 - 22:43

      it has google play store installed and os is cynogenmode 12.1 (lollipop 5.1.1)

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 12/05/2015 - 23:01

      I'd have to double check with a rep, but if it isn't installed then it would be easy to sideload Google Play onto it. Geekbuying usually has instructions in their blog on how to do it.

  • jekng on 12/05/2015 - 22:39

    Quick question. Do they charge in AUD or USD? Just wondering do i need to take into consideration any foreign exchange fees for my credit card. thanks.

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 12/05/2015 - 22:57

      It will be charged in USD.

  • ravian33 on 12/05/2015 - 22:45

    i ordered mine for US 197 including TOLL (3 to 7 Days) shipping from gearbest (using EP7000 code which is now not available), in gold colour but geekbuying charge extra for DHL

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 12/05/2015 - 22:59

      If you're in an area that DHL considers to be "remote" then you have to pay a fee for it to be transferred to another carrier during transit.

      • [Deactivated] on 13/05/2015 - 13:26

        I am in brisbane cbd (not really remote) and they charge extra for DHL as well

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 13/05/2015 - 13:55

          Whenever you select DHL and you're in a remote area it says an additional fee will be charged. Is something else happening? I live in Tassie where there is no DHL, so I don't know for certain.

  • mostlygordon on 12/05/2015 - 22:48

    Has anyone had experience with this company. Very mixed reviews in google searches…

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 12/05/2015 - 22:59

      Do you mean Elephone or Geekbuying?

  • mostlygordon on 12/05/2015 - 23:02

    That would be Geekbuying Clear. But if you answer, it might be biased ;-)

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 12/05/2015 - 23:10
      +2

      Yup it would be, but I'll answer anyway :P

      I've made 24 orders in total with Geekbuying and the only issue I've had was that one item was DOA, but I got a refund. About 15 of those orders were made before I became Associated with an employee.

      Generally the bad reviews you find online are for a few reasons. People have used free shipping with or without tracking and the package has been delayed or lost. Thanks to holidays like the Chinese New Year, orders may be delayed up to a couple of weeks, which results in angry customers. And of course, sometimes mail does get lost, but if you use EMS (Auspost Express), DHL or TNT it's very unlikely to get lost.

      I'd recommend going through the deals posted here and see for yourself. I will admit that some people have had issues, but I try my best to get it resolved.

  • edrift on 13/05/2015 - 01:07

    Thanks op.

    Never heard of this phone or brand before but decided to bite the bullet and order one.
    Had been eyeing the LG G3 or Samsung S6 to replace my LG G2 but then this came along which is a whole lot cheaper than both.

    Previously bought a Chinese THL w8 phone which turned out to be surprisingly good, so figured I'd try another Chinese phone.

    Price seemed to be cheapest I could find (admittedly didn't look too hard). Around $US20 cheaper than other stores (since all/most others are giving $10 coupons)

    • kei on 13/05/2015 - 06:21

      Why not get an asus zenfone 2? Only tradeoff I can see is the NFC VS Fingerprint, 2GB ram vs 3 GB ram, Dual active vs dual standby.

      • edrift on 13/05/2015 - 09:23

        Yeah only 2gb ram, smaller battery, no gimmick fingerprint scanner, quad core vs octacore.

        I did think about getting the higher spec zenfone 2 ze551ml, but that cost more.

      • Benjamin7711 on 13/05/2015 - 09:25

        Plus on screen buttons rather than on the phone itself. Plus this is octa-core and 64 bit.

      • ravian33 on 13/05/2015 - 09:49

        this phone has 45000+ antutu benchmarks without any overclock, extra apk's removal and customisation which is near galaxy note 4 (48000+). This phone is real a flagship killer plus cheaper price with dual active sim cards (both sims remain active but in case of calling other sim will stop working) plus this phone is 8.9mm and asus zenfone 2 is 10.9mm which is big difference

      • Aplpw on 13/05/2015 - 13:24

        What is the different between Dual active vs dual standby ?

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 13/05/2015 - 13:56

          Dual active means both sim cards are in use at a time and dual standby means only one is in use at a time. Refer to this for more information. ;)

    • Rorschach on 13/05/2015 - 10:20

      This phone would be pretty good value for money, IMO.
      The MTK processors are bettered by similar Qualcomm ones in GPU performance alone.
      Unless you insist on running the latest and most graphically intense games on it, it should be fine.
      On a side note, I would love to replace my LG G2 with the ZTE Nubia Z9! Doesn't look like it'll be cheap, though.

      • edrift on 13/05/2015 - 10:50

        that ZTE nubia z9 looked amazing… till i saw the price!

        so it's not even in the ballpark of this elephone p7000…

        for that sort of money (assume that was quoted in USD) i'd probably just buy the LG G4 itself or the galaxy S6

    @Associated can you please post to Pakistan if i pay from paypal but address is Australian? can you please change delivery address ? and which company will be delivering it in Pakistan ? i need to order one more but gearbest is not satisfactory in delivering there.

    here is my order number: #3343753 still unpaid

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 13/05/2015 - 15:00

      When you checkout you'll be able to set the address to Pakistan in both Paypal and the Geekbuying order confirmation page. Typically free shipping is sent with China Mail, SingPost or PostNL. Once the package arrives in Pakistan, a local company will take over. Unfortunately I don't know for sure what company that would be.

      Edit: I'm guessing it could be PakPost, but I could be wrong.

      • ravian33 on 13/05/2015 - 15:03

        the problem is Paypal does not allow me to change shipping address to Pakistani (as Paypal does not support Pakistan yet)

  • Monojoker on 13/05/2015 - 19:53

    The specs on this phone are very impressive for the price and I will be watching the on release reviews very closely. Great price, better than you'll get from anywhere else currently on pre-release. They're ~$310aud on aliexpress with DHL delivery last I checked.

    Thanks for the heads up op but I will be waiting for reviews. This promises to blow the Oneplus one out of the water bang for buck but too risky to be first IMO.

        • edrift on 04/06/2015 - 14:48

          Hi guys,

          Just letting you know i just received my P7000 this morning - it was overnight shipping from Hong Kong to Singapore (i'm an aussie expat) via DHL!

          Can't tell you much as i haven't played with the phone yet.
          My OTA update is failing saying the system is damaged (scary!).

          I CAN tell you that i feel a bit cheated by Geek Buying. They have removed the free flip case and tempered glass screen protector and they also didn't include the free Xiao Mi Piston earphones that was advertised (but now they have removed that deal so i have no proof).

          So i guess we saved around $20 but at the expense of not getting the flip cover or tempered glass protector. It still came with the plastic one though (actually two… a factory fitted one and a spare in the box).

          It's just annoying that i'll now need to order the glass protector and case separately and wait longer…

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 04/06/2015 - 15:07

          @edrift: I can find out for you as it might still be on the way. Accessories are shipped separately from the phone as they're in the China warehouse.

        • edrift on 04/06/2015 - 15:28

          @Clear:

          I somewhat doubt it. In the unboxing videos i've seen the accessories are included in the box. There's even a large space for the flip case and glass protector. My box was just empty in this section so i'm pretty sure it's been removed to sell separately.

          To be fair, the original ad (and current ad) on geekbuying didn't mention these things to be included. However i was hoping it would be as it's the standard packaging from Elephone.

          I do appreciate your help in speeding up my shipping and appreciate geekbuying letting me swap to the golden colour after i had mistakenly ordered the black one originally.

          Also thanks for introducing me to this deal too! I would've bought the LG G3 otherwise and missed out on this great deal.

          @edrift: Hi I'm interested in getting this phone is it any good and how's the 4g on it

        • edrift on 07/06/2015 - 17:36

          @tds:

          Yeah the phone is alright. it's not perfect but i think most of the flaws are something that future ROMS will fix. There's already been an official OTA update as well as a custom ROM release and if you combined those two together, you'd almost have a perfect phone.

          4g seems to work well on it and i do find the dual sim feature handy. I'm yet to run a speedtest over 4G on it as everytime i do that, i believe it chews through 150mb of my data! perhaps near the end of my billing period if i've got extra data i'll try it out.

          For normal browsing it seems fast enough. Call quality is surprisingly good too.

          I think it's worth getting even at full price ($US229) as you'll get the free gifts that i missed out on.

          The problem is that right now there's not a whole lot of stock and on the official forums i think i'm the only one actively posting on it - i'm interested to hear if anyone else from Ozbargain received theirs yet?

        • edrift on 07/06/2015 - 17:39

          @Clear:

          So i contacted Geekbuying directly and they said it wasn't included as it wasn't mentioned on their site (fair enough).

          I do still feel slightly cheated since it's a standard inclusion of the product unless you get it for the ridiculously cheap flash sale price (which i didn't).

          I possibly would've been prepared to pay full price upfront if i had known i'd be missing out on the accessories (since at least the tempered glass protector is essential).

        • tds on 07/06/2015 - 18:58

          @edrift: thanks fir the write up I hear you can get cyanogen for it now? I've preordered it on the Dx website but I'm reconsidering it because I may not receive it until late this month! Cost me 280 all up with ex shipping and insurance

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 07/06/2015 - 23:09

          @edrift: That's disappointing. I had a look around online and found that the ones with the free gifts were far more expensive than what this sold for. I've purchased some of the previous models before and never had any accessories, but maybe the P7000 is an exception.

        • edrift on 10/06/2015 - 11:30

          @tds:

          The CM12 (or is it 12.1?) that they've released for it is closed source which goes against the Cyanogenmod principle. I dont think they'll have regular builds for it but most likely have just released a once off beta build.
          I've yet to try it because it's reported that the earphones dont work in that build and nor does the fingerprint sensor.

          Having said that, it looks like elephone ARE committed to releasing ROMS for it. They have now released a total of 3 ROMs which isn't bad given the phone hasn't even been out for a month.
          Yes the ROMs are largely beta versions, but it shows they're trying.

          I know it's a painful wait for the phone, but i'd say it's worth waiting for… at the price i'm not sure you could get anything better (though i suppose that's a subjective opinion).

          Unless the LG G3 D855 drops to say around $350 delivered, i'd think paying $280 is still worth it for this.
