It appears that Gionee is all set to launch the Elife S5.1 and Marathon M3 smartphones in India. The company has listed both the phones on its Indian website without any word on their prices and availability.

The Elife S5.1 is priced at Rs 18,999 and will go on sale in the first week of December in black, white, blue and pink variants.

The Chinese mobile giant Gionee is back with a bang. This time beating its own record by making a smartphone that is even thinner than Gionee's last make, i.e. the S5.5. Weighing just 140 grams, the new Gionee Elife S5.1 is presently the thinnest smartphone in the world owing to its sleek and ultra thin design.

"The Elife S5.1 is very slim and is also one of the lightest Android smartphones featuring metal and glass construction" Mobile device maker Gionee is yet to announce the launch of its slim Android smartphone the Gionee Elife S5.1. However, the device has already started selling through eBay India for an asking price of Rs 17,549.

Smartphones are getting really slim these days and every now and then we see new devices that claim to be the slimmest in the world. Devices that are 8 or 9 mm thick are pretty mainstream these days. The new iPhone is less than 7 mm thick and there are many other devices that have thickness below that.

Recently, Gionee listed the Marathon M3 on its website in India along with the Elife S5.1 , but without any word on price and availability. Now before the official launch, the Gionee Marathon M3 is available to buy on eBay India for Rs 13,999.

Apparently the war for making the slimmest smartphone is on again and things are getting fierce now. Manufacturers are pushing their limits in a bid to create the slimmest smartphones. Gionee has made some very slim smartphones in the past and now they have done that again.
