Gionee’s budget monster, the Gionee Pioneer P4 just got an Android v4.4 KitKat update in India.

Thought the Gionee Elife S5.5 was thin? Well that’s old news! Gionee already gave a thinner phone in the works and these are the first spy photos.

Following the hordes of MediaTek-based phone makers that have been announcing KitKat upgrades for their devices, China’s Gionee today outed Android KitKat for the swivel-camera E7 mini.

Although Gionee already claim to hold the ‘thinnest smartphone’ crown thanks to the Elife S5.5, it seems as though there’s a bit of insecurity in the camps that prompted them to prepare an even thinner phone!

According to rumours, the incoming Philips I908 could give the Gionee Elife S5.5 a run for its money, thanks to a super thin profile of under 5.5mm.

Gionee’s slimmest smartphone offering, the beautiful Elfe S5.5 is now starting to receive the much anticipated KitKat treatment.

Gionee have posted a new video promoting the Gionee Elife S5.5 that pokes fun at plastic Samsung devices.

Remember the ultra slim, 5.55mm, Gionee Elfie S5.5 which launched this year? Well it has already undergone an update and received a new processor and LTE.

After more than a month since launch, the Gionee Elife S5.5 is finally available in India for purchase with a price tag of 22,999 INR or $384.

Following in the footsteps of other manufacturers, Gionee are also working on bringing Android 4.4 to their phones running Amigo OS.

The camera-centric Gionee Elife E7 just went on sale in the USA under the name Blu Life Pure XL with a Snapdragon 800 CPU and 2/3GB RAM variants.

Remember the Gionee Elife E7 mini with rotating camera? Well it is back but now with a quad-core MT6588 Mediatek option.

Going by what was spotted on the Gionee India website recently, the company is already planning a sequel to the popular Pioneer P3 with a more powerful specification set.

German phone brand Allview have snatched up Gionee’s rotating camera Elife E7 Mini and launched it as the Allview P7 Xtreme.

Gionee might have launched the full-sized Elife E7 along with its mini sibling a few months back, but it is only now that the Elife E7 mini has been made available to consumers in India.

Touted as the world’s slimmest Android smartphone, Gionee’s Elife S5.5 was launched in India today at an event held in Goa.

If you have been looking at larger battery phones then Lenovo was the first brand to look at, but not any longer! Gionee’s latest V185 blows the competition away with a 4350mAh battery!

The world’s thinnest Android smartphone, aka the Gionee Elife S5.5 will go on sale in China from 18th March.

In contention for the thinnest Android smartphone in the world, the Gionee Elife S5.5 was launched a few weeks back in China. After that, the device was showcased to the world at the MWC where it gained immense popularity.

Gionee’s next Elife E7 update could be their best ever as they have asked fans for feature suggestions.
