Gionee ELife E8: Six-Inch Phone

This is significant because Blu Products here in the U.S. often pick up Gionee’s phones to rebrand. This could soon wind up as Blu’s flagship phone.

Gionee ELife E8, 6-inch 2K (2560 x 1440) screen, octa-core MediaTek MT6795 Helio X10 at 2GHz, 8MP front and 23MP back cameras, 3GBs RAM, 32GBs internal storage, fingerprint recognition, dual-SIM dual standby, microSD card slot, 3,250mAh battery, 164 x 82.3 x 9.6mm.

The MediaTek MT6795 is a competitor to the Snapdragon 810:

For more information on the phone itself, see Anzhuo, which broke the story [Google Translate]. There’s a Youku hands-on video at that site which GizmoChina cross-posted to YouTube and can be seen here:

As far as I’m concerned, this trumps Xiaomi’s Mi Note Pro I wish was being sold in the U.S.. The Note Pro has a 5.7-inch screen. I’d like at least a full six-inch screen. Let’s hope reviews say the cameras are good.
