Display and Camera
Gionee S Plus crams in a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with an HD resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels for decent clarity. The touchscreen, which has relatively thin bezels, is protected against scratches and from being broken easily by rugged Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
The smartphone packs a capable 13-megapixel main camera with flash for some excellent shots. You will also find an equally impressive 5-megapixel snapper on the front for selfies and video calling.
Hardware and Software
Equipped with an octa-core MediaTek MT6753 processor, Gionee S Plus is built to provide convincing performance, especially when you consider that the chip is backed up by ample 3 GB of RAM. Perhaps, the only thing that is a tad disappointing is that the processor is clocked at only 1.3 GHz – a maximum speed common among budget devices.
Onboard storage has a decent 16GB capacity, which is expandable by up to 128 GB with a microSD card. Gionee S Plus will boot Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, which will be overlaid by Gionee’s Amigo 3.1 user interface.
Other Features
For the first time ever, a Gionee device is fitted with the future-focused USB Type-C port, which will enable users to charge other devices with the Gionee S Plus or do so the other way round.
The Gionee S Plus has a dual-SIM feature for getting the best of different worlds on mobile networks. It is accompanied by a large 3150mAh battery with support for fast charging. Gionee S Plus has a Face Unlock feature that lets you unlock it in less than a second, according to its maker. It also has a feature called Immersive Touch.
This midrange smartphone supports 4G LTE connectivity for lightning-fast browsing and file download speeds. Connectivity options also include Bluetooth and integrated Wi-Fi.
