Gionee has sent out invites for the launch of its flagship Elife E8 smartphone in the E series in India on October 8th. The company also announced that it will enter into e-commerce space, so we can expect for it to announce tie-up with a leading e-commerce player in India to sell the smartphone exclusively. There is incomplete listing for the Elife E8 with exchange offer on Flipkart, which hints that it could go to Flipkart.
