Your thoughts on Elephone P6i?

[F3zza]

My friend & I both own Elephones (him P6000, Me the G7) and he wants to buy his niece one for her birthday.

She is only 10 and this will be her first smartphone. He was showing her some of Elephones range and she wants an Elephone P6i because it looks like an iPhone.

He tried explaining to her that she can get better specs & function from a different phone, but it doesn't really register. The P6i looks like an iPhone so shes sold.

The price point is good at around £75 ($110) delivered to the UK, but I believe Elephone have discontinued the model so there is now limited stock available and I'm reading very mixed reviews about this model.

My question is do you guys know of an equivalent phone at around this price point that looks like an iPhone & has a little better feedback & functionality?

My personal opinion is stay away from Elephone, but will be people who will tell you the same about any brand.

Ulefone is coming with the Dare N1 which is supposed to be very iPhone 6 like. Not sure on price yet though...

Thank you for the reply cookiedough

I know quite a few people don't like Elephone, but my friend already owns a P6000 and he is very happy with it. I own a G7 and I'm very happy with that too, although I've only had it for a month so its early days and maybe over time my opinion will change.

I should have mentioned the phone is for her birthday at the end of April so holding out for a phone yet to be released maybe cutting it a little too fine for delivery on time if it has been released for sale by then.
