Gionee
Elife E8
The
Gionee Elife E8 which is announced in China four months ago is now finally
getting ready to launch in India. The new flagship smartphone comes with one of
the highest resolution cameras for an Android phone, and it rocks a 2K display
under a large 6-inch screen. The device will officially launch in
India on 8 October.
The
company has recently announced its partnership with Foxconn and Dixon
technologies. As of now there are no import
details of the smartphone on the Zuaba listing which hints that this smartphone
is going to be manufactured in India.
The
E8 comes with a Quad HD 6-inch display, and under the hood will be a Mediatek
MT6795 processor (or Helio X10, what it is called in Asian market), an
octa-core chipset clocking at 2 GHz, and it comes with a 64-bit architecture.
This is supported by PowerVR G6200 GPU and 3 GB of RAM.
While
on the back is a 24-megapixel camera, and on the front is an 8 MP shooter
for selfies, probably the same one that was given in the Elife E7, with
autofocus. The camera is capable of recording 4K videos, and take 120 MP shots
by stitching pictures. It is a 6P lens made with Sapphire glass protection, and
it comes with a true-tone dual flash. The camera has Optical image
stabilization, Real-time HDR, and a real time Auto scene recognition.
A
3500 mAh battery is packed in, and the Elife E8 has a fingerprint scanner on
the back. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop with Amigo 3.1 OS, and 64 GB of internal
storage is provided. Along with that, is a MicroSD card slot for storage
expansion. For the sound, there is Hi-Fi level and DTS sound support, along
with Dual smart PA for the two speakers under the same grill on the back.
There
is no information regarding the pricing of the Elife E8, but in China it is
priced at 3999 RMB which converts to Rs. 41000 (approx). Apart from the E8
launch, we can expect them to launch their sub-brand ‘IUNI’ which will be
available only through online sales. The company is also expected to announce
their exclusive e-store to sell their devices and accessories.
