A front 8 MP camera is also present for selfies. The Dual SIM handset will also support 4G LTE besides standard set of connectivity features. Gionee has also included plenty of software and hardware optimization techniques to save battery, resulting in 32 percent more back up overall. The phone can offer 33 hours of standby time only on 10 percent charge. Large speakers powered by NXP offer 50 percent boost in volume. Heat dissipation is another focus area in Elife S7 design, which enables it to run cooler than other competition.
