Gionee updates Elife E3 to Android 4.4, includes Indian languages support

Gionee has announced that it is releasing a software update for its Elife E3 smartphone. The update brings Android 4.4 as well as support for several Indian languages to the phone.

Unlike most Android updates, the Elife E3 update is not available over-the-air and the consumers can either visit the company service centres to get their smartphone update or use the files uploaded to the company website for updating the phone themselves, which is not recommended for everyone.
