Earlier today, Gionee launched the world’s slimmest smartphone, the Elife S5.5, in India for Rs 22,999. At this price tag and with an octa-core processor inside, comparisons are being made against the likes of the Micromax Canvas Knight A350 and the WickedLeak Wammy Passion X. Let’s see how these smartphones fare when pitted against each other.
DESIGN
In terms of design, the three smartphones are built well, but with the “world’s slimmest smartphone” tag and an all metal chassis, the Elife S5.5 wins this round hands down.
DISPLAY
All the three smartphones boast 5-inch full HD (1080p) displays with nearly the same pixel count too. So we would call this round a tie.
HARDWARE
The octa-core powered smartphones are only differentiated by the clock speeds with Micromax’s Canvas Knight leading the pack with a clock speed of 2GHz. The other two smartphones have a processor clocked at 1.7GHz, but this difference is something you won’t notice in daily use. As far as RAM is concerned, the three feature 2GB of RAM.
In terms of storage space, the Micromax Canvas Knight A350 has 32GB of internal storage, which is double the memory on other two smartphones. However, the Wammy Passion X races ahead because of the option to expand the 16GB internal storage using a microSD card.
CAMERAS
The Canvas Knight A350 leads this round with a 16-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front snapper, compared to a 13-megapixel and 5-megapixel cameras on the other two. Gionee’s smartphones though are known for their good cameras and the Elife S5.5 should be no different. In fact, the Wammy Passion X also features an OmniVision CameraChip sensor and M8 Largan Lens, which is the same camera module found on the Gionee Elife E7.
SOFTWARE AND BATTERY
All three smartphones run on Android Jelly Bean so there is little to differentiate between them. With batteries bigger than 2,000mAh, the three devices will survive the day on a single charge. On paper though, the Wammy Passion X’s 2,500mAh battery is the biggest among the three.
EXTRAS
The Wammy Passion X is the only device among the three to boast water repellent capabilities. WickedLeak has used a nano coating on the inside as well as outside, which in the words of the company, makes it “Super Hydrophobic.” This protection allows the device to survive for 30 minutes under any kind of liquid without damaging the device.
In conclusion, all three devices are almost evenly identical, yet couldn’t be more different. The Canvas Knight A350 is the cheapest of the lot, while the Wammy Passion X with its water repellant capabilities offers the most for its price tag. The Elife S5.5, on the other hand, gives you the specs along with being the best looking device of the trio and the tag of the “world’s slimmest smartphone,” is like an icing on the cake. These comparisons however have been made on the basis of the specs, and we will give you a better opinion on the performance front in our detailed reviews of these phones.
