The Gionee Elife E8 is a curious beast. With an enormous size and equally enormous specifications, there's no doubt that the handset ranks very high up in the spec lists but that alone doesn't make a great device.The display tends to err towards over...

At the fag end of 2013 Gionee stunned some of the then big brands with what they called "the best Android shooter". The successor to the 16MP Gionee Elife E7 has taken almost two years to arrive and Gionee believes it is the smartphone camera to beat....
