Gionee Brings Elife E6 To India, Has Aggressive Plans To Expand Here

Gionee India was making a buzz by sending out e-vites for today’s event. While most thought it would just be a simple launch of the new mobile phone from the Chinese manufacturing mammoth, it was a bit more than that. To begin with, a different kind of panel discussion took place where the agenda was an interesting debate on China versus Made-in-China. After that, the new marvel called the Gionee Elife E6 was showcased at the event.

Seen earlier at its Shenzhen factories in China, the finished product has finally arrived in India. Priced at Rs 22,999, this phone has modern looks, somewhat similar to Sony Xperia Z. As for specifications, the handset has a 5 inch touch display, 1.5 GHz Quad-core CPU, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory and a 13 MP camera. The 2,020 mAh phone battery is not removable and one cannot insert a data card to expand the memory either. The phone runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS.



At the event, Arvind Vohra of Gionee Mobiles India revealed an aggressive plan, hoping to be among the top 3 mobile players in the country in the next two years. He also added that by next year, there would be 250 outlets of Gionee across the length and breadth of the country. Slightly aggressive, if you ask us, but if the Chinese manufacturer can pull it off, it might be among the top 5 mobile brands in India (if not top 3) by the end of 2 years.
