Gionee To Take Back “Slimmest Smartphone” Title With Its Elife S7

What’s the whole point of this exercise?

 

Gionee is back to finish what it started. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer, has sent out invites for the launch of its next device that will also take the title back from the Coolpad Ivvi K1 Mini as the slimmest smartphone in the world.

Yes, if you thought that smartphones could not get any slimmer, there is always a Chinese smartphone maker out there to make you think twice. Gionee started the whole slim smartphone race after looking at Apple’s iPhone offerings and now we have a whole category of slim smartphones by various manufacturers.

Gionee’s latest (unannounced) offering comes in the form of the Elife S7, which is a rather unconventional name to begin with. This is because the previous smartphone had model names associated with their thickness (Elife S5.5 etc.).

Rumours and leaked images (shown above) show off the ultra-slim handset that is said to rival the latest contender, the Coolpad Ivvi K1 Mini by just 0.1 mm at 4.6 mm.

While we like how they look, ultra-slim smartphones in this category usually come with below average battery life and lets not even begin with image quality and displays.

Indeed the last sensible slim smartphone option we saw, was Samsung’s GALAXY Alpha that also came with a capable processor to match the smaller battery capacity.
