Gionee Elife S Plus goes official with AMOLED screen, USB Type-C port

The 5" Gionee S5.1 Pro was announced two months ago with a 5" 720p AMOLED screen and MT6753 chipset. It is going to hit the shelves later this month, but now Gionee is introducing a bigger flavor to keep it company on those shelves. Gionee Elife S Plus is a bigger version of the S5.1 Pro with a 5.5" 720p AMOLED display (with Gorilla Glass 3) and the same MT6753 chipset with an octa-core 1.3GHz Cortex-A53 processor, Matli-T720 GPU and 3GB of RAM. The rest of the specs include a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP selfie shooter, 16GB expandable storage, LTE connectivity with dual-SIM, and a 3,150 mAh battery. The spreading USB Type-C port also appears on the Elife S Plus. The Elife S Plus is running on Android Lollipop with Gionee's latest Amigo launcher on top. It will feature Face Unlock option and something called Immersive Touch. The Gionee Elife S Plus is launching in India this month for INR 16,999 or about $260. Source 1 | Source...
