We all spend a decent amount of money on our smartphones and hate it when they fall down or get scratched. In worse scenarios, you might end up breaking your display unit too which is surely going to cost a nice amount of money to replace. All these perils can be taken care to quite an extent just in case your device had Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection (older variants would do as well but we’d like to have the latest one). Today we have for you a list of the top 5 smartphones with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection that cost below Rs 25,000:
Gionee Elife E7
The flagship Gionee smartphone is available for around Rs 24,000 in the country for its 16GB variant. The smartphone comes with a 5.5 inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It gets Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top of it which we think is quite important in a smartphone which costs as much as Rs 24,000.
The Elife E7 is the cheapest device in the country to feature a 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor under the hood. It gets coupled with a 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage. It is quite a performer in the imaging department too and gets a 16MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS take charge of the connectivity department.
