Gionee is one of the largest Chinese mobile phones manufacturers. The smartphones made by the company have become very popular across the country because of their high end features and specifications and surprisingly affordable prices. After Elife 7 that created quite a buzz among the people because of its looks and thinness, Gionee is believed to be working on its new flagship product Elife 8. The company has leaked a few of its images on internet and seems to be focusing upon the camera of this smartphone. Gionee images on internet show that the rear of the phone has a metallic golden finish. But it is the rear camera of the phone that has become the talk of the town already.
No loss of quality of image with zoom
It is a common complaint of smartphone users to lose quality of their images when they click the subject standing some distance away. But Gionee Elfie 8 is a smartphone that will overcome this problem once and for all. You can zoom on a subject standing away from you and take a crystal clear picture without any loss of quality. Gionee claims the rear camera of Elife 8 to be 16 or 28MP. It is a really impressive figure given the fact that most smartphones have a 5MP or at the most 8 MP cameras on their backs. However, it is not the mega pixels but the fact that Gionee says it will have a lossless zoom sensor that has aroused a lot of curiosity among the people. Gionee E7 boasted a 13MP camera at its rear that was considered a big stride in the world of smartphones. But this time Gionee has gone a step further and fitted its new product with an astounding 16MP camera we guess. One can only imagine how bright and high resolution images can be clicked with the help of the camera of Elife 8.
Gionee will release the phone on 10 June
According to unconfirmed reports, Gionee has used Omnivision OV23850 sensor in this camera. This camera can take pictures with a resolution as high as 5632 x 4224pixels. This camera is also fitted with a phase detection auto focus which allows the user to focus upon the subject no matter how far he is. This amazing smartphone is slated for a launch in Beijing on 10th of June.

The feature of lossless zoom sensor means that the user can click images of a subject standing too far away without any worries of the image losing its quality. This is a great feature that is very important for wildlife photographers and those desperate to click celebrities standing at some distance away. If you want to take a picture of statue of Liberty standing some distance away, you can use the zoom feature of this smartphone and click an image and still get a very high quality close up of the face of the statue without losing the quality of image.
There is also a fingerprint scanner at the rear
In the leaked images on internet, one can also see a finger print scanner sitting just below the rear camera. This fingerprint sensor may not be a revolutionary feature but it is still a very good one as it allows the user to lock the phone that opens only they placetheir fingers in front of the sensor of this smartphone. In this leaked image, Gionee has also posted a sample photo that clearly shows that clicking an image after magnifying it does not lead to any distortion in the quality of the image.
