Gionee Elife E5 review
Game play is impressive, I tried the Dead Trigger in high graphics mode, Asphalt 7 and Modern Combat 4. All of these games played really well, with no lags, you can check the gaming video at the end of the review.

Full HD videos can be played with ease. The sound quality is better (comes with DTS sound).

See it's better to have more internal storage as some apps cannot be moved to sd card and so ur phone memory can get full :)

Ayush you are right elife has 1.5 ghz quad core mediatek 6589T chipset source

but it has single SIM. So it is out of competition among Lenovo P780, Lava Iris 504 Q & Xperia M Dual.

I read so much for more internal storage (> 4GB) as you said some apps cannot be moved to sd card.

So tell me the option which has > 4 GB internal with Dual SIM & good processor.

:sad:

Except the effort required to swap memories(a measly 4GB internal space) in order to increase effective space, yeah :+1:

If OP is not that heavy user and don't want HD Games all the time..you can live with that 2GB device if not just ROOT the device and SWAP 16GIGS Class 10 MicroSD Card you'll be good to go.

U mean to say issue of low internal memory i.e. 4 GB with xperia m dual can be solved by ROOT the device and SWAP...?
I don't know how to swap 16GB card.
Please explain exactly what this process will do.

If you want a short answer,

Use Motochopper or Framaroot to ROOT your device first.. This will give you partial root access..
Then download BusyBox and install it.. This will give you COMPLETE root access ..
Then Download reboot remount fix for xperia devices.. After using this, the RW mount reboot issue will be resolved..
Install Script manager
Then download a custom made script from XDA to remount SD card as internal memory everytime your device boots.. (If you want to revert changes, just uninstall scriptmanager)
[Resolved] (guide xperia m) rooting , reboot fix, and swapping internal memory - xda-developers
Follow this guide..itll clear things up.. Do exactly as the guide states otherwise you might softbrick your device..

If you want a long answer,
