Elephone P7 to Offer Quad-Core Performance on a Great Budget

That’s a hell of a deal for that price and while the display and build quality probably won’t impress many users, it’s a great deal for that price.

The 5.5-inch device will only sell at under $100 US for the first 500 that go on sale, going up to $140 or so after that, so when it launches, those in the region will want to be quick.
