Saw this deal and thought it was a good buy considering the features. Sony camera and fingerprint technology. The spec I've pasted but have a google round for the reviews.

Meet The S1

The Elephone S1 is a premium, high-quality phone at a low cost. With all the features of a top-quality smartphone and a stunning display and camera you can't go wrong with this phone!

Remarkable Sony Camera

The 13MP Sony camera in the S1 supports 1080P video shooting along with enhanced photography effects. The Sapphire crystal lens covering the camera is built to higher hardness tolerences to better protect the lens from falling and scratching.

360 Degree TouchID Fingerprint Sensor

Equipped with a 360 degree touch identification sensor, the Elephone S1 can accurately unlock upon touch no matter what direction your finger is on the sensor.

The sim only deal posted by naffthedesimundaa would be a great sim only plan to match up with this. http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/3-sim-4gb-data-unltd-mins-unltd-texts-9p-m-108-term-possible-quidco-2505078

Not unreasonable to expect better spec at £70 when a £75 phone fulfilled by Amazon has Android 6, twice the RAM at 2GB, twice the storage at 16GB, all the UK 4G bands (unlike the Elephone), fingerprint ID, fast charge, etc. It would be difficult not to justify the £5 difference, unless 5.5" screen is 0.5" too big.

For buyers that prefer Amazon, it can be fulfilled by Amazon for "just a few more £s" https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01JA8T72Y/

:confused:

Marketplace sellers usually do this when they don't have stock.

I checked out Amazon and it's coming up at £999 for me??? Strange.

Only 1gb ram and Android 5.1. If it was 2gb or more ram and Android 6.0 it would have been ok.

I know right? also the Gear VR isnt compatible with it, there's no phase or laser focus. Storage needs to be 64GB these days to be worth considering and battery really should be 3500mAH+. Also no quick charging 3 is deal breaking on its own. I'm not sure what the support and aftercare is like, do they have shops around the country like Apple do for aftersales? That's pretty much required tbh. You're also going to want 4 year warranty incase you hit any problems. I think it should run iOS as well.

I dont understand why they didn't include an FM transmitter, Retina scanner and an octa core processor.

If they upgraded those things and kept the price the same it would be hot from me, but as it stands. Its cold. Missing too many key features TBH.

You do get a standard warranty which is why I took the gamble.

If it came with 2GB and 6.0, sam_of would tell us it needs 3GB and 6.1, it's almost as though he's a bot, reliably jumping into every post about a phone/tablet/PC with the same story, doesn't seem to worry about the cost or the fact that some people are more than happy not running memory guzzling apps.

Some of us are very happy with a budget phone offering these specs... A **** lumia costs around this price without half of the specs and limited apps. If only we could have everything we desire.... *Goes to live in a dreamworld.* However, all inputs are welcomed.

Phoned EE and got myself a 2GB data plan, unlimited calls and texts for £9.99 a month... Although I can get a 5GB of data upgraded because I have EE fibre. I'm happy.
