If you are looking for a chic smartphone with some decent features the Gionee ELIFE S 5.1 might be a good choice. Weighing 97.7 grams and just 5.1 mm thick, this is one of the lightest handsets in its class.
Featuring a 1280 x 720 AMOLED display and running on an 1.7 GHz Octa Core processor with 1 GB RAM, the ELIFE S 5.1 provides smooth navigation and decent video performance.There’s an option that lets you easily operate the phone with few hand 'Smart Gestures'. In addition to the standard Android keyboard, the ELIFE S 5.1 offers the option of a TouchPal X keyboard, which features word and sentences gestures, keyboard resizing, and a range of 'emojis'.
The ELIFE S 5.1 runs on Android 4.4 with Gionee’s Amigo 2.0 User Interface, which comes with its own set of customized icons. Featuring an 8 megapixels primary camera and a 5 megapixels 'selfie' camera, the phone has options such as face detection, self timer, geo tagging, etc. There is also a very useful 'CharmCam' which allows you to snap a document and convert it into a PDF.
The only downside is the storage. Even though it has 16GB internal memory, there’s no scope to expand it. Perhaps most usefully you get extras like a magnetic flip cover, a silicon back cover, SIM tray ejector pin and four scratch guards.The Gionee ELIFE S 5.1 is available in India for around Rs 19,000.
