Gionee Elife E8

Build and Display

The new Gionee Elife E8 sports a relatively slim profile at a thickness of 9.6 millimetres. While the tablet wannabe might not be overly thick, it is a tad bulky at 207 grams in part due to its larger battery.

The Gionee Elife E8 packs an improved display measuring six inches diagonally, as against the 5.5-inch screen on the Gionee Elife E7. The AMOLED panel will have a Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution compared to the Full HD (1080p) resolution of its predecessor.

Camera and Storage

This tablet-like phone does not seem much different from its predecessor in the camera department. The Elife E8 looks likely to have a 16-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing snapper, although GSMArena reports that the main camera is specified as 8 megapixels, perhaps, as a mistake.

Onboard storage on the device is 32GB and up to 128 GB extra storage space can be added using a microSD card.

Hardware and Software

Gionee Elife E8 will be equipped with an octa-core processor clocked at 2GHz. The model of the chipset is not known, but given its speed and number of cores, it is likely to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810.
