As our expectation, the Gionee Elife S7 was introduced. When Gionee unveil their first teaser, we think Gionee will introduce a new device as the thinnest smartphone in the world, but in fact it’s not. In our previous report, we heard some information that the Gionee Elife S7 will pack an octa-core MediaTek MT6752 SoC. And, it turns out our report was indeed spot on!

The Elife S7 comes with a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED display along with a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080p pixels. The 1.7GHz octa-core MT6752 is paired with 2GB of RAM, not really a special spec of the S7 when now having many true flagship with 4GB of RAM. Although the Elife S7 also arrive with 16GB internal storage, but it highly looks like  that will not be expandable.

Different from what we did expect, the phone measures 139.8 mm x 67.4 mm x 5.5 mm, meaning as thin as the Elife S5.5. As you probably know, the Gionee S5.5 was the the thinnest phone at one point in time last year. It seems that this time Gionee doesn’t really want to break the record.

About the photography department, the Gionee S7 features a 13 mega-pixel main camera accompany with an 8 mega-pixel “selfie” shooter, which is fixed focus. Congrats Gionee for their improvement of battery capacity, the phone will be powered  by a reasonable 2700mAh cell which doesn’t sound too bad on paper.

Good other news, Gionee will be shipping the phone with Amigo 3.0 (their own skin) which reality over the Android 5.0. Gionee can be proud of its spec well. In additionally, the S7 has dual SIM phone that support for 4G networks on the following bands: TDD LTE B38/39/40 FDD LTE B3/7/8/20.

Needless to emphasize that the main camera of S7 is 13MP which supposedly features the probably Image+ processing engine which enabled users to shoot ‘stunningly high quality images’. Besides that, the MediaTek MT6752 is quite good, which it’s not the first time a smartphone vendor uses it in their phone. You can find this chipset on such a phone, as the JiaYu S3 also.
