Elephone U Pro UK Price & Availability The Elephone U Pro was supplied to us for review by GearBest, though it’s no longer available there for shipping to the UK. This is a common theme with Chinese phones, whereby each generation is pushed out so quickly that we’ve barely got around to testing one before the next one is arriving at the office. You can still buy the U Pro from a number of places, and the cheapest we found it was at TomTop, another Chinese importer. Current pricing is £338.88, but remember that if shipping from China you may be asked to pay import duty, which is calculated at 20% of the value printed on the shipping paperwork. The Elephone U Pro is also available at Amazon, in black or – as we review here – blue, but at the higher price of £419.99. See Best mid-range phones Elephone U Pro Design & Build The U Pro is a seriously good-looking phone. From the front it’s mostly all screen, with a large 5.99in panel adopting a tall 18:9 aspect ratio that makes it feel smaller and more manageable in the hand.
The edges are curved, which means you see only a fraction of bezel to the left and right sides, and top and bottom you get the bare minimum. The glass front curves round to meet a tough, high-gloss aluminium frame, and then at the back more glass, with a gorgeous mirror effect that refracts light. It’s slippery and it attracts fingerprints, but it looks so good. So good. There are no rough edges, no corners cut – everything about it screams premium design.
Clarifying Simple Plans For cell phones - case smartphone
Gorilla Glass 5 helps keep it looking pristine. Our review sample is an attention-seeking blue model, with accents of black on the camera surround (which lies completely flush), antenna lines, charging port and of course the panel itself, which is jet black when turned off. This is an AMOLED panel, incredibly vibrant and full of punchy colours – paired with the blue chassis the end result is a smartphone you just can’t take your eyes off. (There’s a black model, too, but we thoroughly recommend the blue.) With a Full-HD+ resolution of 2160×1080 pixels the display is sharp, rendering text and icons with perfect clarity. It’s very bright, and scores well on contrast too. We cannot fault this screen.
The phone itself is incredibly slim at 8.3mm, though a down side of this is it can become rather warm in use. It’s just about the ideal weight at 160g – not too heavy, but reassuringly weighty so you know it’s there. This weight is largely down to the battery, which is sizeable at 3,550mAh. Don’t expect to get any more than a day’s usage from it, but should it fall short it’s great to see the U Pro supports both Quick Charge and wireless charging. So it’ll go from zero to full in an hour and a half when plugged into the mains, or you can throw it down on a Qi pad for fuss-free charging without worrying about cables. Looking around the edges everything is where you might expect it – except the 3.5mm headphone jack, which isn’t there at all. Instead you get a headphone adaptor to use with the USB-C port, or rely on the mono speaker found to one side.

The speaker is loud and largely distortion-free at full volume. For pop music the Elephone U Pro does a very good job. There’s no physical home button as there has been on previous models, so instead the fingerprint sensor is found at the rear. It’s part of the camera module, but positioned below the dual sensors, so unlike on the Galaxy S8 there will be no accidentally smudging the lens as you attempt to unlock the phone. We didn’t find any problems with it recognising our fingerprint, but even with this scanner and the U Pro’s support for NFC it’s worth pointing out that you cannot use the phone for making mobile payments – when we installed Google Pay we were met with the error: “This phone can’t be used to pay in stores.
