Gionee has launched the company’s flagship device under the E series, the Elife E8 in India. The device was first announced in China back in June this year and it comes with high end hardware.

Similar to the Elife E7, the Elife E8 is also a camera focused smartphone.
Gionee last device in the Elife E series was the E7 which was launched back in December 2013 and was a massive hit with the 16MP rear camera which produced stunning results.

There is also an 8MP camera on front for selfies and video chats. The camera is also capable of taking images in up to 100-megapixel in resolution.
