Teaser hints Gionee Elife E8 landing in India next week

Gionee's Elife E8 smartphone, which was made official back in June this year, could be launched in India next week. The information comes courtesy of a teaser (shown below) revealing a new phone launch in the country's capital of New Delhi on October 8.

There is currently no information on the price tag the handset will carry in India - in China, it costs RMB 3,999 (around $630 or INR 41,000).

Specs-wise, the device is powered by a Mediatek Helio X10 chipset with an octa-core processor clocked at up 2GHz, and a PowerVR 6200 GPU. It sports a 6-inch QHD display, comes with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory, and packs in a 3500 mAh battery.

In terms of camera, the Elife E8 features a 24MP rear unit and an 8MP front shooter. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop-based Amigo 3.1 OS, and also includes a fingerprint scanner on the back. The smartphone could be exclusively sold online given that the teaser also mentions Gionee's entry into the e-commerce market.
