Gionee's 5.5mm thick smartphone can make calls all day, slice tomatoes

Gionee's trying to stand out from the Huaweis and
Oppos of smartphone-mad China with its new Elife
S5.5, which it claims is the world's thinnest at 5.5mm.
If so, that would edge out the 5.75mm Vivo X3, the
current champ (for reference, the iPhone 5s is 7.6mm
thick). If "battery life" is the first thing that pops into
mind for such a phone, Gionee claims it'll last all day
like its (much thicker) flagship, the Elife E7, thanks to a
2300mAh battery. Other than that, it's fairly tame with a
5-inch display of unknown resolution, Gionee's
"Amigo" Android-based OS, an unspecified 1.7GHz
quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM and 13-megapixel
back/5-megapixel front cameras. The 3G model is now
up for pre-order in China for around $370, with an LTE
version arriving in June. Gionee also said it'll launch in
40 other countries, though eager small-pocketed
consumers will have to wait to find out which.
