Just an advice to an heavy user. The ba3 is li-polymer and discharge quickly more dan li-ion. For an heavy user, u can't enjoy d phone but if u ain't. ..go for it. Everything else is good except the ba3. I used it for 5 days and sold it the 6th day. Now using m5

What's wrong with all this phone manufacturer self, why put 3gig ram on the net while actually its 2gig ram, i don't get the rationale for lying. Does the phone support otg update?


Can someone choose for me between this phone , infinix zero 3,infinix note 2 and xiaomi redmi note 3...... I don't know which one to go for

i think you are the one getting it wrong bro,for reading shitty nigerian blogs,that can't differentiate between the variant meant for india and the one meant for Nigeria,how will they know thougH,when they just copy and paste articles!

The 3g ram is for india market,while the 2g ram is for Naija!

you don‘t need to worry na since it comes with two batteries
Re: The New Gionee S Plus Is Out, Check It Out by karferguso(m): 2:38pm On Dec 24, 2015
I think the phone battery is okay... it will last a day on moderate usage... it does not discharge very fast.. I've not tried it on heavy usage. it performs up to expectation and u have the option of holding a spare or use a power bank.
.. but if u want beauty...go for the S plus. It looks very good. The face unlock works pretty good too.. will do a full review one of these days
And the m5 is not as heavy as they made it look like

I just got mine last week and overall it's been amazing. I am not much if a gamer so don't know much in that department. The multitasking is superb. I am more of twitter, instagram snapchat. They all open very smoothly simultaneously. Battery life too is awesome. The phone even comes with two batteries. The camera on the phone is the best I have used so far. You should get it. I would drop a review soon

This Is The Gionee S Plus


BY BANKOLE OLUWAFEMI
GADGETS, MOBILEDECEMBER 22, 2015

Gio-who?
Gionee. Yes, not many of you have heard of this particular Chinese OEM. I think we’ve done only one Gionee device review to date. But Gionee is back. And this time with a sleek-looking, mid-range Android device that could pass for a “flagship killer” from far away…whatever those are.
This is the Gionee S Plus. So far, I like what I see.
Specs

Released in November 2015, the Gionee S Plus’ specifications put it squarely in mid-range territory. It’s got 2 gigabytes of RAM, 16 GB internal memory, a 5.5 inch AMOLED capacitive screen, rear and front cameras, 13 and 5 megapixels respectively, dual sim (of course), FM radio, micro SD slot, the usual connectivity options (plus 4G LTE), a giant 3150mAh battery, Android 5.1 Lollipop, blah blah blah…
Nothing on the spec list particularly sticks out. Except that battery, which I’m going to be looking out for. I must admit that 4G LTE on a device of this range is also interesting. Full spec rundown can be found here.
What’s in the box?
The box looks like there isn’t a lot in it. Until you open it, and find that there is more stuff in there than you’d expect. So you’ve got your phone, earbuds whose shape I don’t particularly like, a type-C USB cord and two pin charging adapter.
Then, you’ve got the extras. A screen protector, a transparent phone case, and a matte black flip case. Yep, there are two cases to choose from. Too bad you can’t use them at the same time, haha. But thanks, Gionee. It turns out that putting lots of stuff in the box is standard Gionee MO.

The phone’s chassis is ridiculously light. But put the battery in, and then you feel a familiar heft to it. The battery is massive, and I’m hoping that it’s not big for nothing. We’ll see how it holds up in the full review.

Battery, two sim slots and micro SD slot in plastic chassis, encased with metal.
The phone’s build is solid. With a plastic, diamond-patterned back and metal chassis, it doesn’t quite scream premium. But you won’t be hiding this in your pocket either. If anything, the Gionee S Plus wants to be held in full view, because it is a rather handsome-looking device.

Black trim around the bezel creates the illusion of an end-to-end screen, which is pleasing to look at when the screen is off, but is quickly dispelled when it comes on. Nonetheless, I can’t hate it. I kind of wish I’d gotten the blue one instead of the gold one though. Too flashy for my liking. Lucky for me, the black flip case mutes the flash, so I’m happy.

Camera, flash and speaker jack

It’s a large phone, compared to my iPhone 6. I’m struggling to grip it. The left side is completely featureless.

Volume rocker and power button on the left side

Type-C USB connector and adaptor. Said to help charge and transfer data faster. There’s a stern warning to not charge with any other type of cable.
The more I use this phone, the more I think it could grow on me. I am a stock Android snob, one who is not easily impressed by even the highest end non-Nexus devices. We got the mid-range Mi4 recently, and I didn’t give it a second look, even though the whole of India and China seem to be crazy about it. I think it’s because most of these phones make it impossible to change the default OEM skin to look like stock Android without an extremely invasive hack, that is know as rooting. Gionee seems to be different. I had no trouble installing the Google Now Launcher and taking the default Amiibo OS out of view.
There is still the matter of bloatware to deal with, but I’m considerably freer to enjoy this device now. I’ve also noticed a lot of Gionee UI/UX features that promise to be useful, from keyboard functions to facial recognition. Looking good.
Pricing and availability
How much does the Gionee S Plus cost? I’m guessing somewhere just under $300. If I’m right, this device will be a must-buy. As to availability, I believe I will have that information by the time I’m done with the full review.
Wanna talk or ask questions about the Gionee S Plus? Great? Let’s talk about it on Radar.
