Gionee Elife S5.5 Expert Review Summary
Verdict
In essence, the Gionee Elife S5.5 is a spectacular-looking device that offers some impressive hardware specs. However, performance is certainly not the idea behind this device. The Elife S5.5 is a smartphone that is designed to cause serious envy to others and while using the device, we experienced that a lot. When it comes to its competition in India, only the Micromax Canvas Knight (review) is the device that manages to come close to the Elife S5.5 in terms of look and feel and the performance. However the Knight offers dual SIM functionality and a bigger camera while sacrificing on the sl... Read Full Verdict
5-inch, 1,080 x 1,920 pixel display
Read MoreOne of the first things that anyone would notice about the Gionee Elife S5.5 is the unique slimness around which Gionee has created the whole device. The device adopts a glass sandwich design, much like the Apple iPhone... only much slimmer. Along with the glass, the company has made use of a special metal alloy in fabrication that imparts low weight and high strength to the device.
Read MoreToday while most device makers are resorting to cheaper materials like plastic in order to make cheaper and lightweight gadgets, Gionee has dared to manufacture a smartphone using not just metal but glass as well. In addition to use of different materials, Gionee has also designed a phone that is the slimmest smartphone globally bearing an overall thickness of 5.5 millimetres only.
Read MoreThe display on the Gionee Elife S5.5 is certainly amongst its strong points. The 5-inch full HD resolution display is built using Super AMOLED technology, which inherently offers brighter images with superior contrast ratios compared to IPS LCD displays. This technology has been used to the hilt on the device, even though the display is slightly biased towards over saturation. Overall, it is a delight for the users.
Read MoreFor imagery the Gionee Elife S5.5 offers a 13-megapixel autofocus camera at the back accompanied by an LED flash for illumination. As with most slim smartphone cameras, the shooter offers average results, though the Elife S5.5 did surprise us with its superior image quality and colour variance it displayed in the images captured. However, the camera is good but not perfect and is a poor performer for low-light shots. In brightly lit conditions the camera performs flawlessly.
Read MoreWhile the Elife S5.5 has been hugely commended on its look and the way, it stands out in the crowd, its operating system, more importantly the Amigo user interface has been one of its pain points, especially for users who're used to having widgets on their home screen.
Read MoreThe Gionee Elife S5.5 gets all its computing muscle from a MediaTek MT6592 true octa-core processor running at 1.7Ghz. A true octa-core processor allows apps to run more efficiently using several cores at once for better performance, and while not in use the device can switching off the cores that are not required, in turn offering better battery life as well. This true octa-core processor can make a serious difference for applications that rely on multitasking such as HD games and multimedia apps an increases performance output of such apps.
