THL W8s versus Gionee Elife E6

MediaTek is already popular chipset especially in the low to mid range smartphone market. The MT6589 Turbo is still pretty scarce coupled it with 32GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM and it becomes really rare. Two Chinese brands able to make way for that, meet the THL W8s and the Gionee Elife E6.

The E6 has a unibody design and has some software enhancement features. On the other hand the W8s offers relatively lower price, scratch resistant glass and expandable storage.

  1. W8s does offer expandable memory, up to 32GB, but E6 already has 32GB built in.

  5. THL W8s comes with a nice flat cable in-ear headset, USB data cable, travel charger and the best part is 2pcs! Original THL 2000mah Li-ion battery as part of the package. Aside from that NOVO7 Tech's after sales service and support is superb and unlike any other. Tried and tested but never duplicated yet...
