Gionee Teases New 5mm Thin Smartphone: Could Feature LTE Support

Rumors are rife that the next slim phone from Gionee would measure 4.8mm thin or roughly 5mm. At the moment the company has not revealed the name of the device. However, the prefix would remain the same - the Gionee Elife S.

However, the phone is not new to the technology news hunter and the rumors about this particular device can be traced back from July this year. Moreover, back then the device had appeared online in a form of a proper image leak and touted it's unbelievable thinness.

Also since the device has already passed through the network certification site TENAA, few specs like quad-core processor from Qualcomm, clocked at 1.2GHz along with 1GB of RAM are something that most fans already know about.

Apart from that the Gionee Elife S (4.8) is said to feature an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 2050mAh battery. One of the surprising parts of the phone is that it includes an LTE support. Additionally, new speculations also suggest that the device will get a Gorilla Glass treatment as well.

The company has not revealed the exact date of the unveiling of the new groundbreaking smartphone, and it is hard to even speculate it. However, since the IFA 2014 is just around the corner, Gionee might make an effort to unveil the new thin phone at the same tech show in Berlin.
