Gionee Elife S7 To Be Unveiled At MWC 2015 On March 2

Gionee has sent out invites for an event taking place on March 2 at MWC 2015 where the company will unveil the Gionee Elife S7 smartphone. The handset will be displayed at Theatre D in Hall 8, Fira Gran Via, Barcelona.

According to reports the Elife S7 will measure 7mm think. Gioneee's Head of global marketing Oliver Sha said -  "The race to make the slimmest smartphone was getting out of hand. Going so slim is actually not benefiting user experience without the performance to back it up," 

Gionee's Elife S5.1 once held the crown of the slimmest smartphone in the world. It was replaced by Oppo R5's 4.85mm body in November. At present Coolpad Ivvi K1 Mini is the slimmest phone in the world with just 4.77mm thickness.

Apparently, it looks like Gionee is not interested in participating in the race of world's thinnest device anymore.

The Gionee Elfie S7 is expected to arrive either with a HD display or full-HD display, a MediaTek processor and a non-removable battery.
