Gionee Elife S7 makes MWC debut, not as thin as we expected

Gionee has unveiled their Elife S7 at MWC this year, an ultra thin phone that focuses on running cool with a long battery life.

The smartphone was initially showcased to be coming in at an ultra thin 4.6mm thick but the actual unit at launch will be 5.5mm thick, not the thinnest out there but it’s one of the thinnest dual-SIM phones. The Elife S7 has what Gionee calls a U-shaped skeleton made of aviation-grade alloy as well as stainless steel with nano-molding plastic.

The phone itself features a 5.2 inch AMOLED display with 1080p resolution with ACL tech, which supposedly reduces power consumption by 25%. Under the hood it will have a 64-bit 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6752 chipset mated to 2GB RAM and 16GB built-in storage, with a 2,750mAh battery and Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box. Out back you’ll find a 13 megapixel camera, thanks to a extremely thin camera module the camera is flush with the back, and a 8 megapixel selfie camera in the front.

Gionee claims that they have inproved battery life by 32% and that it should go for two days between charges.

We don’t have a local launch date for the Gionee Elife S7 yet but it will be retailing for €400 (RM 1626) in Los Angeles Black, North Pole White and Maldives Blue, with two 4G LTE variants.
