    Gionee Elife S5.1 Unboxing and Hands On

    Gionee’s latest addition to the smartphone lineup Elife S5.1 has arrived in our hands. The second slimmest smartphone just came out of test lab and from the initial impressions, it does look more refined and well built than its previous iteration.

    Gionee has filled the box to the brim with free goodies.

    Out of the box, the first thing you see is the flip case, within which rests the white and gold coloured Elife S5.1. The edges are rounded that make it looks much better and feel excellent in the hand. Along with the standard accessories which include the charger, USB cable and earphones, you get two sets of front and rear protectors. You also get a plastic cover in case you don’t want the flip cover. In addition, there’s an OTG cable, a detailed service list, a warranty card and a SIM removal tool.

    At 5.15 mm this device brings a whole new meaning to slim and sexy.

    Despite being so slim, it houses a 2050mAh battery which is quite impressive. It has a nice metallic strip running along the sides, which does not come across as sharp as the one we saw with its predecessors and provides an efficient grip. Measuring at just a mere 5.15-inch, it’s slimmer than the latest iPhone and guess what – it doesn’t bend! Not yet anyway.

    The Gionee Elife S5.1 features a 4.8-inch Super Amoled HD display with a 1280x720p resolution and has a pixel density of 306ppi. Under the hood, it has a 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek chipset bundled with 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of non-expandable built-in storage capacity.

    The phone runs on Gionee's own Amigo UI.

    The camera unit on the phone features an 8MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5MP front camera with 88 degrees wide angle lens (for those wide selfies). Connectivity features include Bluetooth 4.0, MicroUSB 2.0, Wi-Fi, GPS and OTG connectivity. In addition, it has support for LTE connectivity. We get Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box with Amigo 2.0 UI onboard, and a hopeful update to Lollipop Android 5.0.

    The moment you turn on the device, you see the latest version of the Amigo UI. Multitasking with Amigo 2.0 is now different as compared to the previous version of the UI. Now instead of the home button, you have to hold down the Menu button, which brings up the same card style interface.

    The device seems really nice; it’s exceptionally slim, making one wonder whether it bends or not. It comes loaded with a bunch of handy accessories and will be announced soon and hopefully, at the right price. We are expecting the Gionee Elife S5.1 to be priced under Rs. 18,000, which seems promising for the handset. It is expected to be available in a variety of colours including white/gold, black, blue and pink.

    Tune in for the unboxing and hands-on video that will be up shortly.

  • Specs of the ‘World’s Slimmest Smartphone’ Gionee Elife S5.1 Leaked

    Specs of the ‘World’s Slimmest Smartphone’ Gionee Elife S5.1 Leaked

    Back in July was when we first heard about the Gionee Elife S5.1 via its TENAA certification. While, the handset is yet to be officially launched, a set of very clear images has been leaked online.

     If you have a quick look at the Gionee Elife S5.1, you can easily mistake the device for an iPhone as it borrows all its design aesthetics. Along with its design and look, the handset’s specifications have also been leaked.

    The Gionee Elife S5.1 will feature a 4.8 inch screen with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. The AMOLED display is expected to be crisp and come in bright colour variants. The model is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad core Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM.

    However, one notable thing about the smartphone is that it doesn’t have a micro SD card slot for storage expansion and comes with 16GB of internal storage space. Furthermore, there is no news about the 32GB variant. These days with rapidly increasing size of apps and games, that may pose to be a problem.

    The device has an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a 5-megapixel front camera. The phone supports 4G LTE connectivity, 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth and runs on Android version 4.3 layered by the company’s Amigo 2.0 interface.

    It is said that when the device comes to the market, the company will offer four different color choices to choose from including Pink, Turquoise, Black and White. The pricing is yet to be revealed.
