Elephone M2 Features and Price In Nepal
The Elephone M2 is a premium handset from China within your budget. It has a metal unibody design, 5.5-inch Full HD display, fingerprint scanner, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, 13-megapixel camera, microSD card support and a 2,600mAh battery. It comes with MediaTek MT6753 1.3GHz octa-core chipset, and the phone comes with Android 5.1 installed.
The M2’s display maintains the impression of quality established by the metal body. It’s an LG-made panel with a Full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, and measures 5.5 inches from corner to corner. Viewing angles are absolutely rock-solid, while colours look bright and punchy. Despite not being an AMOLED screen, contrast is also excellent.
We’re seeing more and more low-cost phones shipping with above-average-quality screens, and the M2 continues this welcome trend. Pin-sharp, bright and large enough to please the growing legions of phablet fans, the M2’s screen is hard to find fault with. The use of Gorilla Glass 3 should also fend off any serious marks and scratches.
While the “ELE UI” OS is a close match to stock Android, it’s not exactly the same – there’s no Google Now functionality, for example. Thankfully you can add this by downloading the Google Now Launcher from the Google Play Store, ensuring that the super-useful voice-activated personal assistant is never more than a swipe (or “OK Google” voice command) away. Bizarrely, though, it’s impossible to change the lock screen wallpaper, so you’re stuck with the default option, which is a vinyl record. Could be worse, I guess.
M2’s MediaTek MT6753 64-bit chip is clocked at 1.3GHz and comes with an ARM Mali T720 GPU. Such speccifications are pretty unremarkable when compared to 2015 and 2016’s Android flagships, but at the lower end of the spectrum they’re more agreeable – especially when you take into account the fact that the phone comes 3GB of RAM, which certainly helps maintain smooth performance when switching between applications.
Android 5.1 doesn’t come with native fingerprint support – only present in Android 6.0 as standard – Elephone has had to create its own solution. However, when it does work, the scanner is quick to respond and it’s nice that you can unlock the phone from sleep simply using a tap of your digit.
Elephone M2 is packing a Sony IMX214 camera with a 13-megapixel sensor and LED flash. The camera is quick to focus as long as you have the HDR option disabled – turn this on and there’s quite a pause as the phone processes the shot.
