The elephone is around 150euros. I see deals of it around £100-110 on hotukdeals
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/elephone-p8000-3-different-colours-3gb-ram-16gb-rom-64-octa-core-cpu-4150mah-fingerprint-2236845?p=25465017
This has to be by far the best specced phone at that price.

You should also consider buying an old flagship that has big support on xda developers. Something like a 2nd hand Note3 or G3 are easy to root and install a custom ROM and have incredible hardware compared to what you would be buying new.]]></description>

So If I can buy Nexus 4 is there a point to buying this then? Btw, were you happy with Nexus 4 in general?
