My elephone S8 came today not bad 2 weeks no import tax as well which is always good. £185 can't grumble it's lovely and at a price that when I break it in 6 months I can live with it lol.

I won't have the spindle so low in the mount I only have it that way until I fit a physical limit and limit switch so I can't run the Hiwin's off the rail on the Z axis.

I intend to put a bolt through the bottom Hiwin fitting that sticks out so it's blocked off and the carriages cannot come off.



This is a photo with my elephone better than my fuji camera so happy with it ;) You can see my make shift clamps but also going to have a vac bed

Nice, that phone does look good, I'm struggling with a dying iPhone6 and can't afford the new apple stuff so i'll probably look at one as well.

The elephone is lovely but I would also consider this one instead and it's cheaper!

Massive battery, pretty much the same screen more ram and space, slightly slower processor. Decent camera's but no gorilla glass unlike the elephone.

If you batter your phones get an elephone S8 if you look after them get a Oukitel ;) If you just need cheap get a cubot cheetah for ~£100 from germany they're really good for the price range got one for my brother surprising how good it is although Cubot photoshop the pics lol.

I paid £185 for my elephone but they £180 now you could get stung for £50 in import tax and fess I got lucky, I bought mine from banggood who I highly recommend.

I have the Oukitel K6000 plus 4Gb ram 64 Gb ROM, I bought it from tinydeal European wearhouse, for 154 euros with gorila glass and case ,the phone is a killer !

I stand corrected ;) The battery is what would swing it for me to the Oukitel but I'm still very happy with the elephone and so glad I went Chinese ;)
