This mini version of the flagship device has a 4.7 inch HD display with a pixel density of 312 ppi. This device runs Android Jelly Bean Operating System with the company’s own Amigo UI (User Interface) on top.

• Conclusion

Note – These tests are done with the maximum volume, Wi-Fi Switched on, brightness levels-medium and few applications running on the back ground. Moreover there might be a few minute changes in the results that you get with your device and we are not responsible for the difference in it.

Music Playback

Who does not listen to music? Well almost everyone does and it is done mostly with Smart phones and so we have listen to music on the Elife E7 mini and found that the battery consumed on it after 30 minutes was 11% making it a 22% down in one hour. With this rate the device will die in 5 hours which is not that bad comparing to many other devices in the market.

This a pretty much expect as we are running few apps on the back and even there are some downloads going on. In spite of having a 2200 mAh battery on the back, we could have expected little more battery life this but we also have to consider that the screen was ON for the enter test period. So after considering all the factors, Gionee Elife E7 Mini get’s a score of 3 on 5 for the Audio Playback.

Rating – 3 / 5

Video Playback

Video playback test is done under two conditions one with FHD videos and other with HD videos. Below are the results of the same

FHD Video playback

After 30 minutes of 1080p (FHD) video playback, the battery consumed on the Gionee Elife E7 mini was 12 % and at this rate the device will last for just 4.16 hours. With this you can watch one complete movie and may be two small movies.

HD Video playback

The battery was down by 12 % as it was in the case of FHD playback, so there is nothing much to differentiate between the both. Even here the battery will be lasting for 4.16 hours for continuous HD video playback.
