Gionee Elife S5.1 launched in India at Rs 18,999

Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Gionee has finally launched its ultra-slim Elife S5.1 smartphone in India at Rs 18,999. The phone will be available by first week of December, 2014 in white, black, blue and pink colour options.

It will be available in White, Black, Blue and Pink colour options.

The Elife S5.1 was launched in China a few weeks back, when it held the crown of the world’s slimmest phone with a 5.1mm body. But that crown has since gone to Oppo R5, which has a 4.85mm body.

The Elife S5.1 features a 4.8-inch AMOLED display (720 x 1280 pixels resolution) with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It runs on a 1.7GHz octa-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 16 GB of non-expandable internal storage.

Gionee's Elife S5.1 comes with an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. The company is also touting LTE connectivity, but support for Indian LTE bands is not known.

Other connectivity features included are Bluetooth 4.0, Micro-USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, GPS, and OTG connectivity. The 100 gram weighing handset is backed by a 2100mAh battery, and will be available in Black, White, Pink, and Mint Green colour variants.
