After much thought between Lumia 720 and Gionee Elife E5 , I decided to purchase E5. It has been one month since I bought this phone. I was using lumia 510 ( windows 7.8 ) before. So initially I thought to buy a windows 8 phone. But the problem with windows 8 too is the uneasy navigation to reach the settings or updating the address book etc and also a stupid music player where you cant add songs to a playlist. But ofcourse there are some good things like windows 8. Anyway I thought not to buy windows till there is windows phone 8.1 released. So I came back to android after 2 years. I did the right thing in purchasing this phone. It is really good phone for the budget. Pros: 1. Display is awesome 2. Performance is really good. 3. Very sleek and stylish. 4. Android 4.2 5.Can run almost any game easily. I was stunned to see it playing Fifa 14 very easily. 6. Camera is very good. 7. Inbox accessories like flip cover and screen guard ( 2 in no.s ) are pretty useful. Cons: 1. Heats up only during games being played for few hours like 2-3 hours.. but the heat is negligible too. So not much of a con. 2. Pathetic headphones. Although they look good but it was quite uneasy in my ear. Keeps coming off all the time. I moved back to my sennheiser headphones. 3. OK battery life. Need to charge almost once in a day with 3G on. 4. Camera is little sluggish when you move the phone. But it will take good picture in the end :) If your budget is for a midrange phone , I would suggest go for this one than the sony xperia SP which also comes in the same budget. Dont like samsung's budget phones.

No Doubt its a very good product. Its been priced very high by flipkart...Seems to be good phone if priced around 17k..You can get in three colors white,yellow,black.But flipkart shows only yellow. Pros: Awesome Build Quality Battery life is good(can stay for a day) Processor performance is too good..No lags noticed. Display is awesome.. Cons: *No expandable memory(only 16gb,quite ok) *Single Sim slot *Camera not so sharp with moving object. *Flip cover doesn't suit the mobile. Overall its a good buy with the price around 17k..Go ahead and purchase it..

when i received it.. it was working fine. the camera quality is also really nice. love the front camera a lot. but after few days.. i noticed that it automatically gets switched off few times i don't exactly know why. and it doesn't get switched on even after we press the power button. it takes a lot of time to get started again. especially when the phone is kept on charging. though it doesn't happen frequently.. still its a pain. and it also gets heated if we use it for watching videos or texting for more than 25 to 30 mins. other wise things r fine.

Pros: Build Quality : Good Screen Quality : Seems really awesome but don't know how strong it is (not sure whether it has Gorilla Glass or not....Gionee also didn't mentioned anything like that) Gaming Review : 75% out of 100% Performance : Good... Benchmarks Score : 75% out of 100% Video playing : Awesome....no drawbacks in video playing... Audio mp3 : ---Headset : DTS Dolby really excellent..(music lovers definetely enjoy it) ---Speaker sound (medium sound but good clarity) Camera : Brighter images... Headset Build Quality : Good... Cons: Camera : below average, more noisy, More saturated images [poor] Video Recording : Below average (only 15fps) [poor] Heats up while playing high end games for more than half n hour... If we install all basic apps like gmail, skype, fb, whats app, viber, hangout, cleaner master, DU battery saver, and few high end games etc,. then RAM will be insufficient... Gionee already mentioned it as a 16GB Memory so we need to talk about it, but some times it may not be enought for few users.... Conclusion: Mobile is really good, and I'm satisfied......

Best phone is this price range ,phone is very slim ,but camera quality is not too good ,other wise phone is very good .

It is a good phone at reasonable price. However, be careful about Gionee's quality control issues. Some sensors were not working in the first piece I received. Make sure you test all the features of the phone to be sure you have got a good piece. I liked: Great display, very smooth feel without any lag. Good battery time. I did not like: I expected a single SIM phone to use regular SIM. But it needs a micro SIM! Sealed body, no access to battery :-( May not be a concern for many people, but for me that is an irritant because for something as simple as battery problem I have to run to service center.

I bought this phone about a month back, and must say, am really impressed by its performance and quality. Not once in the course of the month did the phone hang and require a hard reboot- a very common occurrence in even some branded phones. PERFORMANCE: Very good, smooth performance, probably due to the 1.5ghz processor having to only support a HD screen rather than full HD. Initially there was a bit of lag in high graphic games(Real Racing 3, NFS Most wanted, MC4), but it disappeared as soon as i switched off power saving mode. Display: A very crisp AMOLED display- colours are vivid and the display is very close to the touch panel. Camera: A surprisingly good camera in well-lit conditions, average when capturing moving objects or night photography.Video is full-HD but only 15fps. Battery: probably the only downside, it is on the lower side but usually lasts me through a day of moderate gaming, texting and browsing on a full charge GPS: I was very glad to find the GPS locking within 5 seconds- an almost unheard of thing in most Chinese phones. Build: it is very sleek but feels quite solid in the hand, very good build. Overall this is an excellent performing phone for the price and I would easily recommend it over xperia C, Canvas 4 and lumia 720 (all of which I've used)

I bought this phone in another website on Dec 24 2014. I am really impressed by this phone. Now its one month since i bought it. The phone has never lagged or slowed down. I have installed numerous apps and games. This phone seems to handle any game you throw at it. My list of pros and cons: PROS: 1. Great build quality compared to Micromax, Karbon and Xolo 2. Super slim design. Very slim and easy to hold 3. Very light in weight. Just 120 grams. 4. Very very thin bezels around the phone. In micromax, Karbon, Xolo and even in Samsun, you have thick bezels. I personally like thin bezels. 4. Awesome and insane battery life. I am a medium user and I get around 2 days of battery after full charge. The most amazing thing is this phone really sleeps unlike other phones which suck battery even they are idle. This phone uses around 0.5% of battery per hour when it is kept idle. 5. Display is really nice and crisp with AMOLED. CONS: 1. Vibration of the phone is weak. 2. Camera is decent. Dont expect Sony's 13MP performance in this. But still, this camera is better than Karbon, Micromax and Xolo. 3. No 3rd party ROMs available for this phone. 4. No expandable memory card. I strongly recommend this phone to anyone who have their budget as 14.5K. This phone seems to come with the right mix and combination. Right processor (Turbo 1.5GHz) with right megapixel (8 MP) and with right resolution (1280 x 720) with right size (4.8" screen) - Full HD (1920 x 1280) phones are just waste which suck lot of battery. - Also Full HD phones take lot of processing power. - 13 MP camera requires Qualcom processor. Finally, to summarise, this phone is the rightly balanced phone for an average to high android user.

i don't have much time to write as i am in middle of some important work. today i got this device. flipkart's order management is really great. very easy to track your order. got before the time the mentioned. now about the E5 i want to say it is one of the best fone in the market. awesumm look, build quality. after getting this fone u will realize how the other established brands are looting the people with the high prices for their low quality devices.... if u want to look at the performance, try with google map. the moment u open the maps app, the next moment it will be loaded. the battery is the best thing about Gionee. previously i was using samsung galaxy. it was headache to maintain battery. u sleep in the night with 100% battery, n wakeup in the morning... u will see the phone is dead....talking about display quality,,,, its awesum... cristal clear display give u a heart touching experience...most of the internet applications work exteremely well.... now talk about look.... i will give 5 out of 5 for its sleek look... one of the best designed fone in the market right now.... If Gionee make some extra effort to improve the service in india then it can be one of the leading mobile company. if you are going to buy a smart fone in the range of 15000-20000, then this is the excellent pick. keep it up Gionee.....

Hi. Got the E5 yellow one n I am amazed by its screen resolution, fonts, picture and overall performance. The rich yellow colour indeed gives a feeling of Lumia but this one is much better than Lumia. At 6.85 its super thin and fun to hold and operate. Enjoying Gionee.
