Gionee launched the slimmest handset in India, Gionee S5.5. The smartphone is just 5.5mm thick and replaced Vivo X3 at 5.75mm thickness to be the slimmest beauty in town. Unveiled at MWC 2014 in Barcelona, Gionee Elife S5.5 was launched initially in China and then in India. The phone is an economically priced device and caters to the mid-range segment.
Clearly, with the focus on slimness, Gionee Elife S5.5 gives equal importance to beauty as brains. The phone is a sleek stunner in a metal casing with a glass body. The design is slightly different than the run-of-the mill blocks and even the bezels have a slightly designed finish to give the phone a completely unique look.
Running on Android Jelly Bean version 4.2, Gionee Elife S5.5 runs on the Android platform with the Gionee Amigo UI on top. While the OS is a slight disappointment, we guess Gionee will soon roll out an upgrade for the device with Jelly Bean 4.3 if not KitKat.
The display is definitely one of the best in its class with a 5-inch super-AMOLED LECD touch-screen . The full HD display boasts of 441ppi. Gionee has managed to balance power and looks with the Gionee Elife S5.5. Apart from the display, the 1.7GHz octa-core processor equally impresses. The RAM at 2GB is the same as most flagships in the market.
While the OS was a major let-down when it comes to Gionee Elife S5.5, another disappointment is the lack of a memory card slot. Most phone-makers are sticking to internal memory these days but it definitely restricts the user in terms of storage and expandable memory. Also, while flagships often come with multiple internal memory variants, Gionee Elife S5.5 comes in just one internal memory variant, the 16 GB one.
