Gionee’s Elife E8 Rumoured To Take on Galaxy S6

A new report has emerged suggesting Gionee is preparing to launch a top-end handset model that will be pitted against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Apple iPhone 6.

Today, the first press shot of the Gionee Elife E8 has been out, making it clear that such device does exist in reality. So far, there's no word on pricing and availability yet, but we do know that the Elife E8 will flaunt a metal body and a 23MP shooter that allows photos to be "stitched" together to produce a 100MP image.

Hardware-wise, the phone is expected to come with a 4.6-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) and 639ppi (pixel per inch).

In addition, the E8 will be powered by a 2GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6795 processor, paired with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot (up to 128GB).

Not just that, the handset will be powered by a 3,250 mAh battery and will feature an 8-megapixel camera in the front.

At this point it's hard to know exactly what Gionee has planned, but according to local media reports, Gionee's next flagship smartphone will be unveiled in June.
