Buy Gionee Elife S5.5 at cheapest/best prices in India

Gionee Elife S5.5: world’s slimmest smartphone is launched in an exclusive event in India. It is wrapped with some extra noisy elements (noisy and loud in a positive way). While it is getting appreciations from most of the tech gurus, I am still worried about its price tag. Let me unveil some facts which have made me to worry about its price. It is an octa core smartphone (MediaTek chipset) that is priced at Rs. 22,999 (approx Rs. 23000 tag). The similar smartphone from Micromax i.e. MMX Canvas Knight too powers with a MediaTek Octa Core processor but still it is priced at Rs. 20,000 tag (Rs. 3,000 less than Gionee ELife S5.5). It might be the hard side of being an International brand (means they might have to fix this price because of a non-Indian brand). We will have to wait for some more days to get an idea about what this extra price will do in case of world’s slimmest smartphone.

It comes with a 5 inch Super AMOLED Plus display that produces vibrant pictures at superb 1920x1080 px resolution. It measures only 5.5 mm thickness and runs on Android 4.2 Jellybean OS. It is a single SIM smartphone which somewhere limits it in front of Canvas Knight.

It is powered by a MediaTek Octa Core processor having 1.7 GHz cocking and 2 GB RAM pairing. Mali 450 GPU is there which is supposed to accelerate graphics unit. It is a normal GPU that should enhance the graphics quality to some extent (not much).

It supports OTG and OTA updates which makes it compatible with futuristic updates and ROMs 9I hope company will roll out Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for this slimmest smartphone very soon). It comes with 16 GB ROM storage. It also features 13 MP AF rear and 5 MP AF front facing camera that supports 95 degrees ultra wide angles for perfect shooting conditions.

It is a 3G smartphone with Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth connectivity access. There is one non-removable battery of 2300 mAh capacity that should keep it charges for decent 7-8 hours.
