Summary
- The Gionee Elife S Plus features a larger 5.5-inch AMOLED display compared to the 5.0-inch IPS LCD of the Meizu M5c, offering slightly lower pixel density but better color reproduction.
- In terms of performance, the Elife S Plus is powered by an octa-core Mediatek MT6753 chipset, while the M5c has a quad-core MT6737, resulting in superior multitasking capabilities for the Gionee device.
- The camera on the Elife S Plus is also more advanced with a 13 MP rear camera versus the 8 MP on the M5c, allowing for higher resolution photos, although both have a 5 MP front camera.
- Battery capacity is slightly higher in the Elife S Plus at 3150 mAh compared to the M5c's 3000 mAh, but both lack fast charging.
- The Gionee runs on Android 5.1.1 with Amigo OS, while the Meizu operates on Android 6.0 with Flyme 6, offering a more updated software experience.
