Software / User InterfaceThe Gionee Elife E6 runs a highly-tweaked version of Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. The company has put a custom 'Amigo' skin on top of the UI, and offers themes that let the user customise the phone's home screen and app icons.
Strikingly, the phone's OS does not look like the traditional Android home screen, rather it looks similar to an iPhone layout. In total, you can add nine home screens which you can populate with app icons.
The Gionee Elife E6's user interface offers transition animations and effects – even allowing customise some of them. The Gionee Elife E6's UI borrows its app switcher from Apple's iOS 7 card-based multitasking menu: like dismissing apps by throwing their preview windows out of the screen and switching by swiping horizontally.
Other prominent sofrware feature of E6 includes 'smart gestures' and 'air gestures'. The smart gestures include smart dial (like dialing a number displayed in a message), smart answer (answering the phone automatically when you bring the phone close to your ear), and pause alarm (when you flip the phone). Air gestures include letting users answer calls or browse pictures by waving hand.
The E6 comes bundled with apps like UC Browser, File Explorer, Facebook, WhatsApp, NQ Mobile Security, Twitter, Yahoo Cricket, App Manager, GameZone, WeChat, Notes, a torch app, a compass app, Kingsoft Office, a weather app, as well as the GioneeXender app, Du Battery Saver app, and Saavn.
