How to Root the Gionee Elife E3 Android Smartphone
The Gionee Elife E3 might not have much going for it in terms of looks, but underneath its rounded exterior, it’s all good – quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 8MP camera, 4.7 inch screen and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS. And let’s not forget a very cheap price tag. We’ll show you how to root your Gionee E3 in the post below and you should be in complete control of your device (and by control, we mean overclocking/underclocking, changing themes, etc.) in no time!
