Gionee has just announced another of its smartphones in India, and the standout point of the Elife S5.1 is its extremely slim build. This handset is just 5.1mm thick, or should we say thin. After the success of the Gionee Elife S5.5mm there are many buyers who have been waiting for the new Elife S5.1 and the wait is nearly over. Coming up we have details of the Gionee Elife S5.1 India launch with price and specs.

We first saw this phone announced for China back in September, and noted that although it’s hugely impressive that the company has managed to make it so slim, as far as specs are concerned it doesn’t quite live up to the Elife S5.5. A lot of its success in India will depend on pricing and we can now tell you that the Elife S5.1 price has been confirmed at Rs. 18,999.

The phone will be available for sale across India during the first week of December and it comes in black, blue, pink or white colour options. Elife S5.1 specs include a 1.7GHz MediaTek MT6592 octa-core processor, Mali 450-MP4 graphics, and a 4.8-inch AMOLED display with resolution of 1280 x 720. It has 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage (non-expandable).

It packs an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, a 5-megapixel front-facing unit, a 2100 mAh battery, and features DTS surround sound. Connectivity options include 3G, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and USB OTG. It runs the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system skinned with the Amigo 2.0 UI. The Elife S5.1 weighs 100g and measures 139.8mm x 67.4mm x 5.15mm.

There’s no doubt this is a very sleek-looking handset with a magnesium alloy frame, and the back cover and display have added Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
