Five key features of Gionee Elife S7

Adding a new contender to its slim series, Gionee has introduced the Elife S7 in the market. But does it live up to the benchmark laid down by other Gionee smartphones? Let's check out:

Design and Display: It has a 5.2 inch AMOLED display that is good to look at. The company claims to have added scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3, which protects it from scratches. Even with the big display, Gionee has maintained the thickness at just 5.5 mm which makes it comfortable to grip and operate with a single hand.

Operating System and UI: The Gionee S7 comes preloaded with Android Lollipop operating system which is hidden beneath the Amigo 3.0. All the apps are scattered on the multiple homescreens with no dedicated app tray. The three control keys - multitasking, home and back - are a part of the display.

Camera: There is a 13 MP camera at the rear and a 5MP in the front. The camera interface is neat and simple and offers some professional modes too. The front camera does a good job while capturing selfies, with the camera app enhancing these images.

Performance: This smartphone is powered by a 1.7GHz MediaTek MT6752 octa-core processor and 2GB of RAM. It manages to perform most of the tasks with ease, just like any other mid-segment smartphone. It comes with 16GB internal storage of which only 10GB is user accessible.

Battery: It packs in a 2700mAh battery that runs for more than a day on a single charge, and that too, on heavy usage.
