Gionee Elife S5.1 Set to Become the Slimmest Smartphone Ever: Here's What You Need to Know

Gionee is still looking to make an impact in the Indian smartphone market in the image of Xiaomi and others. And that may soon come true with the company now set to release what's set to become the world's slimmest handset. We are talking about the new Gionee Elife S5.1, of course.

 

The upcoming handset is set to sport great thinness. Gionee has surpassed its own standards and this time it's producing a smartphone whose sides measure a brilliant 0.2-inches thin (5.15mm).
