Recent development have brought out some new styles in smartphone build all in the bid to reduce bezel around the screen. Trailing behind the Vivo Nex with a pop-up camera, the Elephone PX comes with its own pop-up camera. Posing a supposedly full-screen front, the smartphone has some decent mid-range specs. However, the specs are just a bit the budget type with the major feature being the selfie poo up camera. All in all, the smartphone is just a conventional average smartphone but with new innovation at a much more low price.

Design and Display
For the most part of it, the smartphone has about the normal midrange look but with only the consolation being the price ratio. Nonetheless, you have the dual camera system on the upper left of the back cover and a nice pop-module as well as fingerprint scanner to the middle. The sides are curved and it has a 19:9 aspect ratio which makes handling much more easier with just one hand. You can get the phone in tow colour black and a deep green colour
What matters most is not the screen per say but the screen to body ratio which in other words is how much of the front the screen takes up. This is pretty much the highlight on the phone and there is a large 6.34-inch display going all the way to the top. On the bottom, you’ll see a slim bezel while the screen has a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels.
Battery and Camera
It is pertinent that there is enough time to be spent on your smartphone of choice which is decided by how long the battery can last. That said, the Elephone PX in its own defence has a moderate 3, 500mAh capacity on its battery to handle this. You can say this is equal to the task if the day use is your timeline and to charge up you will be using the MicroUSB port at the bottom.
To the juicy part of the phone which is the selfie camera, the smartphone offers one that is buried at the top of the phone. To use it, dual 16MP and 2MP cameras placed side by side pops up and retract after using it. Over to the back, you’ve got a combo of 16MP camera and 2MP depth sensor with features like portrait mode AI beauty to name a few.
Hardware and Software
Taking things to the core, the Elephone PX has a new era mid-range MediaTek octa-core processor. The Helio P22 chipset is not really a powerful type but it does have the ability to handle the basic daily tasks with ease. Moreso, there are two models, different in RAM size and internal storage. One has 3GB RAM paired with a 32GB storage space. The more expensive variant has a 4GB RAM accompanied by 64GB internal storage. When it does go on release, you will have Android 9.0 Pie inside.
