The Gionee Elife E8 which is announced in China four months ago is now finally getting ready to launch in India. The new flagship smartphone comes with one of the highest resolution cameras for an Android phone, and it rocks a 2K display under a large 6-inch screen. As per our trusted sources, the device will officially launch in India on October 8th.

The company has recently announced its partnership with Foxconn and Dixon technologies to manufacture smartphones in India. As of now there are no import details of the smartphone on the Zuaba listing which hints that this smartphone is going to be manufactured in India.

The E8 comes with a Quad HD 6-inch display, and under the hood will be a Mediatek MT6795 processor (or Helio X10, what it is called in Asian market), an octa-core chipset clocking at 2GHz, and it comes with a 64-bit architecture. This is supported by PowerVR G6200 GPU and 3GB of RAM.

While on the back is a 24-megapixel camera, and on the front is an 8MP shooter for selfies, probably the same one that was given in the Elife E7, with autofocus.
