The device is Full HD, but according to reviews, the screen is not as impressed by performance. As far as we believe on various reviews, it seems that the device would do better if the company made it a 720p device. For instance, the 720p display on Gionee Elife E5 worked better, and looks bright and with stunning colors.
The major reason behind the problem of Gionee Elife E6 is the processor and GPU, since the processor is Quad Core A7 28 nanometer running at 1.5 GHz, while the GPU is tweaked at just 357MHz which make it lacking the performance. We tried to reduce the resolution of E6, decisively we got better performance, and the high-resolution games including Modern Combat 4 were running fine. If you also want to change the screen resolution of your Gionee Elife E6 display, then you can do this by rooting the device. In the next part of the article, we will be telling you to Root your Gionee Elife E6 and also Install ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery. Just follow the steps mentioned below.
