    Battery in the 3000s is better (ie bigger) and it is LTE while the P8 is not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭kalel76


    Thanks, sounds like the 3000s is my best option then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 965 ✭✭✭mistress_gi


    also P3000s is cheaper! so yes, in my opinion the P3000s is a better option!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭kalel76


    Is there any problem rooting the 3000s ? Can you install custom ROMs are they not available ? I think the clones I got I won't be able to install a custom ROM.

    Sorry one last thing if price were not an issue would yous get the elephone p8 or elephone 3000s?
    The 8 is going for €127.99.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 965 ✭✭✭mistress_gi


    even though the P8 may be cheaper at the moment if it was me I would be getting the p3000s for the bigger battery and the 4G but that's just me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭kalel76


    thanks for the input guys appreciate it

    Looking for suggestions for a new phone. Looking to spend about 220 Euro.
    Something 4G with Android 4.4 with a 5 inch screen.
    The Jiayu S3 is coming out soon but other suggestions welcome.

    Have a look at the Meizu M1 Note (might take a little while to become available), Zopo 3X, or Elephone P3000s. ZTE Nubia Z7 Mini might be a bit over budget, but you might talk yourself into it for a Snapdragon 801 SOC. The Jiayu S3 looks pretty tasty, though.

    Not a Chinese phone, but just wondering if anyone had heard of the Indian-manufactured Micromax Yureka Yu? Under €115 for a similar spec to the OnePlus One but even harder to get hold of.

    Yes I've been reading about those too. They're sold in India but I haven't found any website with Intl shipping . would love to try one.

    Anyone use that crowd advertising on adverts.ie called bargain-mobiles-shop? They seem to be selling a number of different Chinese models like Cubol and Thl models.
