The smartphone comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Good design and buildThe phone is just 6.18mm thin and weighs 150 grams (Galaxy Mega 5.8 weighs 182 grams and Doodle 2 weighs 220 grams). Overall, the phone looks good and has curbed upper and lower edges. The E7 is also great to hold in hand as its left and right edges are covered with thick and broad metal plates. The phone has a glossy body and somewhat slippery. Though the phone is made of plastic, it does not give the cheap looking feeling. The phone has curvy edges and the top center camera placement. Design-wise, some may find the E7 a tad lower than its precessor, the E6, which was iPhone-inspired due to its sharp edges. ProcessorThe E7 will be made available in India in two variants – one powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset that includes a 2.5GHz quad-core Krait 400 processor and 3GB RAM, along with 4G LTE support and 32GB internal storage. Another one comes with 3G support and 16GB internal storage along with 2GB RAM and the same processor, only clocked slightly lower at 2.2GHz.The smartphone scored over 35000 in Antutu benchmark and about 63.4 in nenamark, which is quite decent.StorageGionee is giving two options of storage for the users to choose from – 16GB and 32GB, and the RAM would be dependent on the storage. The 16GB model will have 2GB RAM, while the 32GB one will have a 3GB RAM. However, both these devices don't support the MicroSD card for the expandable storage.Operating systemThe Gionee Elife E7 runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with the company's custom Amigo 2.0 UI layer on top, much like its predecessor.
