The power button |
Ergonomically, it feels great to hold even for one handed use which is not heavy on the hands. I also like most of the standard button and ports placement which generally feels easy to locate. I just have one comment, I find the power button on the right side too small at times.
Overall, the S1 has some combined resemblance with the S7, iPhone 6 and Sony Xperia in terms of design in a great way.

The Elephone S1 isn't the most powerful budget phone out there, but it's got some fairly decent configuration. You'll get a 1.3 GHz MT6580 quad core processor paired with Mali 400 GPU and 1 GB of RAM that handles most casual to moderate task very well as long as you won't open that much apps all at the same time.
It also got an 8 GB of ROM where you can install your files, games and multimedia. If you find it lacking, there's a micro SD card slot that may help as well. The 13 MP rear camera performed nicely in our initial look as well.
Anjie of Teknogadyet also found out in his test earlier that the 360 degrees fingerprint sensor found with this device performs accurately with good speed too. Software-wise, I looks telepathically great, smooth overall and with little bloats.
So far the only slight downside I can foresee here is the lack LTE connectivity, the 2 MP rear camera which beautifies too much on first try and the fairly small 1,800 mAh of battery.
Anyway, for a phone that's built this well, that's just nitpicking on my part.
