This handset has some very impressive top-notch specs that makes this a very desirable device, and now we have the Gionee Elife E7 in a favourable hands on look.

The YouTube video below this story is of the Elife E7 that was being shown off at MWC 2014 and the impressions of the video reviewer are very favourable. It starts with giving a good all around look at the handset, which looks very sleek and is said to have good solid build quality.

It goes on to discuss the display, although at the highest brightness level it appears to look rather dim and this might be an issue for some. The video then goes on to detail some of the key specs including processor, storage, and camera capabilities. There’s also a look at the customized Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean software experience.
