Thus, the E8 carries a new 24MP rear camera with optical image stabilization, dual-tone LED flash and phase detection autofocus for speeds reaching up to 0.08 seconds. It also has a software that can create and produce images up to 120MP in resolution and flaunts a six-element lens with sapphire glass, as noted in NDTV Gadget.

Moreover, a fingerprint scanner can be found on the back panel while the front panel features an 8MP selfie snapper. In order to easily capture photos, Gionee thoughtfully placed a hardware shutter button on the side. The video camera is capable of shooting 4K video.

The Elife E8 runs with Android 5.1 Lollipop and features the company's Amigo 3.1 software. Under the hood is a 2GHz octa-core Mediatek MT6795 chipset (Helio X10) with 3GB RAM. Its internal storage has a capacity of 64GB and it has a microSD card slot that will permit expanded storage of up to 128GB.

Generally, the Elife E8 of Gionee is an upgraded version of the E7 that is totally worth checking out.
