We are back with the battle of smartphones, here Elephone S3 and Elephone P9000 go headon with the Meizu 6 Pro. The Elephone S3 is the bezel less phone from the Elephone with 2.5D arc curved glass giving it an almost floating screen experience, the phone comes in all metal design with a curved back giving it a good holding feel which Elephone says took it 209 steps to manufacture.On the back you have the 13MP camera with flash and the fingerprints sensor. We have a secondary noise cancelling mic and two plastic strips at the top and the bottom for good reception. On the bottom we have the the speaker grill and microphone grill with a micro USB slot. And a regular arrangement of volume rocker and power button on one side and the SIM/sdcard hybrid tray on other side.
On the other hand Meizu pro 6 also comes with a similar 2.5D arc curved glass bezel less design but the Elephone S3 truly stands out, design wise the meizu pro 6 leaves no stones unturned, with a full metal body and curved back. There is a 21.6MP camera on the back with a pecular 10 led ring flash. The fingerprint sensor here is one the front with the mBack feature. On the bottom a speaker grill, headphone jack of 3.5mm, and microphone.Both the phones are extremely gorgeous in design department. But Elephone is slightly compact than the Meizu pro 6 fitting in the same size screen as of Meizu pro 6 in a smaller package.
Talking about the Elephone P9000 it is slightly different than the above two as it comes with a sturdy metal frame and a swappable back cover which by default has a sandstone finish but can be replaced with any other cover of your choice.On the back we have the 13MP camera with dual led flash and fingerprint sensor.

If you consider raw specifications the Meizu pro 6 ($409) is a winner ofcourse but keep in mind the price point at which it comes is almost more than double the Elephone P9000 ($179) or the Elephone S3 ($149). At these prices the Elephones give Meizu a run for its money.
