    See other variants reviews Score: 67.4 / 100

Gionee Elife E8 is an impressive Android device released some years ago, in 2015, coming with a very powerful processing unit speeding at 2 gigahertz, a huge 6-inches multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 24 mega-pixels back-facing camera and an 8 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

Gionee has made a very good job making this cellphone as lightweight as 7.13 ounces. Regarding its construction, this device is majorly created with aluminum; metal. The Gionee Elife E8 is available in a variety of colors, black, gray, white and gold. This cellphone is a compact device, given that it presents a 6" display and it only has 6.46 inches long and 3.24 inches wide. The Gionee Elife E8 is extremely slim and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.38".

Gionee packed this cellphone with a high-tech 6-inches display, and a 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD / 2K) resolution, making everything look beautiful and brightful. Its display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

Gionee equipped this phone with a MediaTek Helio X10 MT6795 system chip, backed up by an exceptional CPU speeding at 2000 MHz with a large 3 GB RAM memory. This phone has a large 64 GB internal memory and a slot for external memory cards, more than enough to install hundreds of applications and even the largest games currently available without even thinking about filling the device.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 24 MP back side camera and an 8 mega-pixels front camera. It also captures 4K 3840x2160 videos at 30 frames per second. This cellphone also counts with a high number of valuable features like flash, auto-focus, optical image stabilization, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

This cellphone provides Wi-Fi connectivity (which it can share with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high performance connectivity and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSPA and EDGE technologies. This device has 2 SIM cards so it can to use two different phone numbers or carriers at the same time.

This cellphone packs amassive 3520 mAh Li - Polymer non-replaceable battery, enough to provide this phone with a great battery duration. Gionee claims this cellphone has a talk time of 39 hours and a stand by time of 437 hours. An issue to consider is that this device's battery isn't replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to live shorter, even though with its 3520 mAh you will probably buy a new phone before that becomes an issue.

The Gionee Elife E8 also features a couple interesting features as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Gionee is selling this cellphone for 249 dollars, which is rather expensive for this kind of cellphone. No matter whether you will use it as a work cellphone, need a cellphone for playing games, you love taking pictures or are looking for a phone mainly for internet broswing and social networks, you will definitely love this phone.
