February is here which means MWC 2016 is just around the corner! Gionee is one of the companies that will be making an appearance at the upcoming trade show along with tens of others. But what will Gionee release you may ask? A new Geekbench listing suggests that we’ll see the new Elife S8 smartphone.
The Gionee Elife S8 will be among many smartphones to be showcased at this year’s show. The handset will replace the older Elife S7 model from last year and will the company’s first release of the 2016 year. We aren’t expecting Gionee to show off any other products at the event so the Elife S8 should get all the attention.
The Elife S8 or GN9011 made an appearance on Geekbench this week thus giving us a sneak peek at what’s in store for later this month. The handset will be powered by the MediaTek MT6755 SoC aka the Helio P10 processor. This is nothing abnormal because of all the recent Elife models which also ran MediaTek processors. 4GB of RAM will be included as well as Google’s latest Android 6.0 (excluding the minor 6.0.1 update). In the test, the handset was able to produce a multi-core score of 3148 and a 851 single-core score. Based on past leaks, the handset is also expected to include a pressure sensitive screen and new camera features.
Gionee has already confirmed an event to take place on Monday, February 22. That’s when we expect to find out all the official details regarding the new handset. We’ll keep you posted on all the latest news heading into the conference. It should be an exciting month! Stay tuned!
