Gionee Elife S7

Content in this Article

Gionee on Saturday launched the Elife S7 in India at an event in Hyderabad, its latest slim smartphone offering with a thickness of 5.5mm. Gionee Elife S7 has been priced at Rs. 24,999, and will hit shelves in a week in Black, White, and Blue colours. Gionee has engineered the Gionee Elife S7 in such a way that its body is supported by a U-shaped frame made from an aviation-grade aluminium magnesium alloy. This frame curves gently at its four corners. Enclosed within are the front and rear portions of the body, which are made entirely of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The phone is just 5.5mm thick and coupled with its weight of 126.5g, it feels extremely sleek. We received a black unit for review, but it is available in white and blue as well.

Display, Design & Configuration

The Gionee Elife S7 sports a 5-inch AMOLED multi touch display with 720p resolution and a pixel density of 294ppi. It is housed in an ultra slim outfit which measures just 4.6mm around the waist and takes the crown of world’s slimmest smartphone till date. Doing duty on the inside is a 1.7GHz octa-core processor paired with 2GB RAM. It sails on the recently launched Android v5.0 Lollipop OS.

Camera and Storage

The Gionee Elife S7 is armed with an 8MP autofocus snapper and LED flash at the back besides a 5MP wide angle selfie camera at the front. It has an internal memory of 16GB which is further expandable up to 64GB.

Battery and Connectivity

The Gionee Elife S7 stays juiced up with a 2,300mAh Li-ion battery and is loaded with 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, USB port, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as connectivity options.

Verdict

Gionee is all set to heat up the competition for the world’s slimmest smartphone with its next big thing in the form of Elife S7. It is expected to arrive with an ultra slim waistline of just 4.6mm with standard specs in other departments. However, many people will feel discomfort in holding such a slim device.
