Gionee unveiled its latest high end smartphone, Elife E7 at an event in China last month and now the device will be hitting Indian shores this month on the 24th of December.

The Gionee Elife E7 features a 5.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS display which features Gorilla Glass 3 for protection and JDI’s One Glass Solution. It is powered by a 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor with Adreno 330 GPU and there’s 2 GB RAM with 16 GB internal memory or you get 3GB RAM if you buy the 32 GB variant of the device.

It comes with a 16 MP auto focus primary camera with LED flash which features a 5-element Sapphire lens and a 1/2.3″ 1.34 µm Largan M8 sensor. There’s also a 8 MP front facing shooter which should make for some pretty awesome selfies and video chats. The device also features 3 mics for better noise cancellation during calls. The device measures 150.6 x 75.0 x 9.5 mm and weighs 150 grams. It is packed with the usual connectivity suite we have come to know like 3G, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, BT 4.0, NFC etc.. .

The Elife E7 comes with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with Gionee’s Amigo 2.0 UI on top which is pretty disappointing considering we have already moved to Android 4.4 KitKat but we hope Gionee manages to speed things up a bit and get the latest software on board. We’ll be there at the Gionee event and we’ll ask about the update plans as well.

The Gionee Elife E7 should come in all the pretty colors it was launched in such as Blue, Orange, Green, Red and the usual Black and White but we are not quite sure if both the 16 GB and 32 GB variants will come to India but in any case we’ll let you know all the details along with price of the Elife E7 come December 24.
