All eyes are on Gionee for their Elife S7 launch at MWC, but owners of current devices can be happy too as a new OTA update brings some major improvements.
The Gionee Marathon M2 and Pioneer P6, two phones which are popular in India, have received an recent OTA update which fixes many bugs users had complained about along with some new UI touches.
