Chinese manufacturer Gionee officially released the company's flagship smartphone Elife E6 in India last week.
The new phone is currently available at online stores for prices as low as ₹21,890, making it the most affordable full HD smartphone in the market.
By competitively pricing the smartphone, Gionee has taken the price war to the Indian smartphone makers, especially Micromax, whose flagship phone Canvas 4's sales is expected to take a hit, courtesy of Elife E6.
