Ultra thinness aside, the Gionee Elife S5.1 appears to be a decent mid-range smartphone. Its features include a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with 720 x 1280 pixels, 5 MP wide-angle front-facing camera, 8 MP rear camera, quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory (non-expandable), and a 2100 mAh battery. The handset runs Android 4.3 with Gionee’s Amigo 2.0 UI, and is currently available to buy only in China. It costs around $325, and is offered in black, white, pink, and mint green.
As you may know, the Elife S5.1 isn’t Gionee’s first ultra-thin smartphone. The company also has the Elife S5.5, which is 5.5mm thin, and can be purchased in lots of markets across Asia.

Hmm I wonder what the battery life will be like. The Elife S5.5 already got horribly crappy battery life according to many reviews. If it wasn't for such bad battery life, I might have bought one (S5.5 aka Blu Vivo IV). I actually love its design (but not this S5.1 though).

Impressive. Then I would be able to cut fruit without the need for a knife.
