Gionee to launch slim dual-SIM Elife S7 on April 3 in India

At MWC 2015, Gionee unveiled the 5.5mm Elife S7 as one of the thinnest dual-SIM smartphones. Now, the Chinese manufacturer is gearing up for the April launch of the smartphone next month in India by sending out formal invites.

Gionee has designed Elife S7 with a U-shaped skeleton, casted using aviation level alloy for its frame. The rest of the body is constructed using nano-molding plastic. The mere 5.5mm thick handset features a 5.2" 1080p AMOLED display.

Powered by a 64-bit MediaTek MT6752 SoC with Mali-T760 GPU, the S7 has 2 GB RAM and 16GB of built-in storage. The phone has a new Sensor Hub integrated to the SoC in order to conserve CPU usage and use less power. It will be offered in Los Angeles Black, North Pole White and Maldives Blue color options.

Being a dual-SIM smartphone, the S7 supports two 4G SIM modules simultaneously. It is powered by a 2,750 mAh battery. We managed to get a quick look at the device at MWC.
