Gionee Elife E8 Specs, Release Date: Is This New Android Flagship the Best Priced Device to Hit the Market?

Gionee is slowly becoming a household name in its home market in China. This is due to its impressive lineup of smartphones that boast affordable and reasonable prices, which is perfect for the Asian country's mass market.

However, from time to time, it may also be favorable even for Gionee to bring a high-end offering to its consumers. And that is just what it did recently.

According to a report by Phone Arena, the Chinese manufacturer recently announced the Elife E8, which is definitely a flagship level device with its high-end specs and features.

In the report, the Android powered smartphone packs a whopping 6-inch display with QHD or 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution, 3GB of RAM, a 64GB built-in memory, and a microSD card slot that can further increase the storage.

Other specs include a 23.7MP primary camera which reportedly can produce 100MP images, a True Tone LED flash, a "lossless zoom" which is said to be a first for an Android device, and optical image stabilisation (OIS).

Unfortunately, the device reportedly will cost around $645 and will be available in July 15 in selected markets.

So what's wrong with it?

The Gionee Elife E8 is "only" powered by a quad-core MediaTek Helio X10 chipset, which is not comparable to the higher end chipsets in the market, particularly the Exynos 7420 from Samsung, and the Snapdragon 810 SoC from Qualcomm.

But will the Elife E8 sell? The specs are solid, but with a price tag beyond $550, it is definitely on the steeper end of the market.
