It is powered by Mediatek’s new 64-bit 1.7Ghz octa core processor with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage,sadly the phone doesn't have any micro SD expansion slot so you will have to compromise something. It's good to see that Companies like Gionee are adapting premium design with reasonable pricing.

Camera

Gionee's camera is nowhere to be suspected, Gionee has done a good job in it's recent camera technology and S7 is no exception here. It comes with a 13MP rear camera with Gionee's new “image+” image processing system which enables the phone to capture 6 pictures in 1 second which is really impressive and cool. Gionee has even more impressive feature on the table, that it can capture a picture with only 500 milliseconds, and its focus time is only 300 milliseconds. On the front it has a 8MP sensor. The S7’s 8MP front camera features intelligent Face beauty 3.0 technology with which the device can estimate peoples’ gender and age, and recommend the best over the face beauty effects for more natural selfie photos. We can overall praise Gionee for it's wonderful job in camera department.

Battery

Nowadays most of the user look for impressive battery life and Gionee has also focused more in this department.Gionee has added a lot of optimization to this phone for better battery life with its 2750MAh battery, while Gionee should be praised for the software optimization too. Although the battery is non-removable. ACL technology used in its display reduces power consumption by 25%. There’s also a Dark theme, which further drops power draw by 30% compared to the default theme. A new sensor hub enables the CPU to wake up 20% less. Gionee estimates it has improved battery life by 32% and the phone should go for two days. Gionee has also include a extreme mode in case of emergencies, which restricts the phone features and gives 33hours of standby by freezing functions except calling and text messages to ensure basic communications on just 10% of battery.Clearly a lot of work and hard effort has been put into this phone for a longer battery life.While we still can't confirm about it's battery life now, we can hope to see the battery life of Elife S7 in coming days.
