From all the leaks that have been going around on the internet in the past few days, the Gionee Elife E8 is turning out to be quite a powerful device. We have seen some unofficial renders leaked earlier which showed of the beautiful all metal frame of the device. Even Gionee revealed a few powerful details about its upcoming flagship via its Weibo account in the past few days.

The Gionee Elife E8 is said to come with a original lossless zoom, which should take detailed pictures with negligible loss in quality. The company revealed via its Weibo account that the phone will be able to capture every little detail with its lossless zoom camera.

The company has already officially revealed that the phone will have the world’s fastest mobile imaging unit, with super fast phase focusing and closed loop motor. In a couple of teaser posters, the company tries to explain that the phone can even capture ultra fast activities like an objects splashing in water.

The Gionee Elife E8 is said to sport an all metal body with a dedicated camera button and a rear placed fingerprint sensor. Its 23MP camera unit reportedly takes pictures up to 100MP in resolution, a first for a smartphone camera. Other specs include MT6795, 3GB RAM, 2K display and a large 3250mAh battery.

Overall, the phone looks like a pretty good package. We expect more details from the company pretty soon.

We all know that Gionee is going to release its flagship device for the year, the Gionee Elife E8 soon. The device recently hit TENAA which revealed that the phone will come with a 23MP rear camera.

While this rear camera unit is much bigger than competitors, it looks like the company has something more in store for its fans. Earlier today, a new poster revealed that the Gionee Elife E8 could be capable of capturing pictures in a massive 100MP resolution. Yes, you heard it right, we said 100MP! This will be the first time, a smartphone camera will be capable of taking such high resolution pictures.

Of course, you could have guessed by now that the camera unit itself won’t be of 100MP. Instead, the 23MP shooter will be able to digitally stitch and interpolate pictures to such a high resolution. It looks like Gionee will be using a similar tech to what OPPO used in its Find 7 flagship to take 50MP images. The camera could be the 23.8MP OV23850 that was announced back in January this year. It features 1 / 2.3 inch PureCel-S stacked CMOS, support phase focusing and real-time HDR functions.

Other tech specs are also pretty high end. TENAA listing revealed that the phone will feature an octa-core processor clocked at 2GHz, 3GB RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, 3520mAh battery and also a Huawei Mate 7 style fingerprint sensor.

So, overall the Gionee Elife E8 turns out to be a powerful handset. Now, we just wait for the official launch of the device which should be pretty soon.

We recently came to know that Gionee was going to announce the slimmest smartphone in the market at MWC 2015. The device is said to be the Gionee Elife S7 which would feature a 4.6mm thin body. Now, it looks like the S7 won’t be the only smartphone that will be debuting at MWC this year. Along with a range of anticipated flagships like Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9, Gionee will also unveil a new device, the Gionee Elife E8 with high end specs.

Thanks to a recent leak, we know almost everything about the upcoming smartphone. The specs sheet reveals a powerful 2.2Ghz octa-core processor (probably a Mediatek SoC). The highlight of the device is its 4GB RAM, which should make sure that the phone runs very smoothly. There will be 32GB / 64GB internal storage options along with a MicroSD card slot which can take cards up to 128GB in size.

The screen is rumored to be around 5.7-6 inches in size with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 protection, making it as large as the Galaxy Note 4. For camera, you can expect powerful 18MP rear snapper and a 10MP front shooter.

Interestingly, the leak shows that the phone could be around 10mm thick which is quite the opposite of what Gionee is trying with its Gionee S7. Other features include Android 5.0 Lollipop, 4G LTE connectivity and 3000 mAh battery.

While the specs look really good, there are some things which doesn’t add up. First of all, the thickness is said to be around 10mm and the battery will be just average at 3000 mAh, so why would a large screen phone be so thick? Moreover, Gionee is usually known for its super slim phones and if this is a flagship model, it would be logical to make the phone slim too. So, unless there’s like a hidden feature which requires a large body (camera sensor perhaps?), it doesn’t make sense for the phone to be so thick.

But even if we decide to believe this info, there’s still doubt about the authenticity of the leak. The picture says the phone will be 5G compatible and may also run on Android Milkshake. There’s nothing concrete about the leak. So, its best to take this news with a pinch of salt and wait till MWC, which is just a few days away to see what Gionee has in store for us fans at the event.

Stay tuned for more updates.
