MWC18: EL, meaning "terrible Chinese"

The Chinese company ELONG Mobile, abbreviated EL, presented at the Mobile World Congress fair a number of new models: EL K50, EL K30 and EL K20. And more durable S50 and S60 models.

Editor Jacek Filipowicz, who was at the ELONG Mobile stand, was not impressed by the quality of the products displayed - he bluntly described the brand in two words, which I quoted in the title of the news. Nevertheless, let's check how visually smartphones with the EL logo look like and what their specifications are.

EL K50 is an elegant smartphone with a metal casing and a back panel covered with leather. It has a fingerprint scanner and a dual camera. The second camera has monochrome functions and is used for black and white photography. The phone has a 6-inch display with an aspect ratio of 18: 9 and a resolution of 1440x720 pixels. The phone will be sold in many versions of memory (2/16 GB, 3/32 GB and 4/64 GB) with different processors depending on the version (Mediatek 6750 or 6757). The price of the basic version will be around 150 euro.

The second model is K10, which has a similar configuration, but less sophisticated design. There is a 6-inch 18: 9 display with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and different versions differing in parameters: processor (Mediatek 6750 or 6757) and a different number of gigabytes of RAM and internal space for data. EL K30 has a 5.7-inch screen and almost identical configuration as the two previously described models.

It is also worth showing the EL S60 model, a model with increased resistance to water and falls, equipped with a fingerprint scanner and a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, with support for two SIM cards and a battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh. It is accompanied by a slightly weaker and smaller version, the EL50, with a 5-inch display, with a smaller 2700 mAh battery and a weaker processor.
