Gionee is preparing for the launch of an entry-level smartphone in India on August 25. The company already had started the promo across social media and in microsite on Flipkart. Dubbed as Gionee Max, revealing the physical design aspects and highlights some of its key features. Feature-wise the phone was not that disappointing rather it repeating the same mistake which earlier done by Realme C11. For that Realme had to launch two more devices in the country. Offering a value for money experience, we will get a response from the consumers after it enters the market. Till then waits for its launch, here are the features of the phone below.

Gionee Max Features and Specs (expected)

Upfront, the device is built around an HD+ resolution LCD display of size 6.1″ inch beside a dewdrop notch and the speaker grill on top. Further, the whole screen built around 2.5D curved glass edges. Underneath the notch, there you could have an 8MP selfie camera sensor. The camera details are not included in the promo but the device likely to be a tweaked version from Gionee F10. Thus, it may have similar implementations around the phone. While at the backside the phone, there you could see a dual-camera sensor accompanied by an LED flash. The dual-camera sensor could include a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP depth camera sensor.

Under the hood, most of the time Gionee has hidden its CPU details. But it likely to be from MediaTek Helio A25 SoC. The phone could implement Helio A25 SoC in such combination 8XCortex-A53 at 1.5GHz alongside IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU. Further, the storage had confirmed in the promo. It includes 2GB RAM and 32GB onboard storage further the external storage expansion option will be provided via a microSD card.

In terms of connectivity, the phone will support 4G LTE networks alongside single-band Wi-Fi. The other connectivity may include MicroUSB 2.0, 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth 5.0, and other necessary sensors including GPS and Proximity, etc.

Price and availability

The phone is set to launch under ₹6000 in the country for the 2GB-32GB model. Earlier Reame C11 had offered a similar kind features for ₹6,400. But in today’s world, 2GB RAM is not sufficient if you are going using the phone as a primary device. Realme has quickly analysed the consumed feedback hand launch Realme C12 and C15 as an improved version of the Realme C11 shortly after its launch. If Gionee is thinking 2GB RAM and 32GB storage is enough they might end up losing the competition against the Realme C12 or C11. We will have a more clear view after the device get officially launched. The launch will take place on August 25 at 2 PM local time.
