Which smartphone is the better buy? We compare the Nokia Lumia 1320 and the Gionee Elife E7 Mini to see which is worth the purchase.
In terms of display, the Nokia Lumia 1320 has an extremely large 6 inch display that provides a great multimedia experience, albeit at a much lower resolution than some of the high-end products from Nokia. The phablet offers only 720p display, but it comes with an impressive IPS panel, which makes it extremely vibrant and provides great contrast in all areas. The huge screen is coupled with only 720p resolution.
Meanwhile, the Gionee Elife E7 Mini has a smaller display measuring only 4.7 inch and comes with the same 720p resolution as the Nokia device.
For the memory and connectivity, the Gionee Elife E7 Mini does not offer microSD card support, but it does come with 16 GB of internal memory as a standard, while the Nokia Lumia 1320 has a 8 GB of internal memory, but because of microSD card support, it is expandable to a maximum of 72 GB in total.
Both smartphones appear to be concentrating only on the primary connectivity aspects like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB support. Aspects like Wi-Fi hotspot are present in the Nokia Lumia 1320, but it does not come with NFC support. On the other hand, the Gionee Elife E7 Mini may not come with Wi-Fi hotspot, but it offers NFC.
For the battery usage and camera specs, the Nokia Lumia 1320 comes with an enormous 3400 mAh battery, perhaps one of the largest in the segment, while the Gionee Elife E7 Mini has only a 2200 mAh battery, but can still provide excellent battery life.
The Nokia Lumia 1320 offers only basic five megapixel camera with standard features like autofocus, LED flash, full HD video recording, and a front facing VGA camera.
Meanwhile, the Gionee Elife E7 Mini provides a 13 megapixel camera that has several features including rotating lens and panorama picture taking ability, although the lack of the front facing camera is a major disappointment. The phone can match the full HD video recording capabilities of its competitor.
The Gionee Elife E7 Mini is available at $290, while the Nokia Lumia 1320 costs $280.
