lovely!!

The specs are superb...

Spending a whooping 250k in a fone isn't a reasonable idea

What's the exchange rate again?

Will buy this phone only when $1 = N1 as said by buhari.

Until then, my torchlight 4 life

OlayinkaFawaz:

you too must be a goat na your money dem want take buy am. if can't buy it does that means others can't buy it? animal

succyreal:
gionee has it all.

I started from p1 to p2 following by p4 then I moved to m2 after that I used m3 presently now I am using m5. I have been a gionee fans from time past.

believe me shortly I must get this phone.


FTC: I REALLY FEEL LIKE URINATING IN THE DREAM AS FIRST TO COMMENT.

if u love gionee like but if u think they are the best share.

Ewo! You want to buy it now that 1$ = #345

And

$494 = #170,430! Please where do you work presently

Lol... I think say dollar dey boast before.... What's bringing it down?


I'll buy it when $1=#1...then I can even get one for my cat

funkdr:
Nice replacement for my s-plus, but the battery should've been 4000mah.

Higher mah dosen't mean the phone will last longer than a 2000 mah phone that is optimized to be battery efficient. So the amigo os and the hardware components might be more efficient than android with other manufacturers hardware....probably

nice phone. tecno over to u.

Hmmm..Gionee going shoulder to shoulder with galaxy s7 in specs...

Lol

I am using the M5 noww... But ma sweet M3 still dhey for corner.. That phone strong jooor

Tech Savvy Peeps still bam... Dhem still dey wahala.. We miss you bro

Hope you good bro?

Those using the Bc exchange rate on here, no try... This phone no reach 100K... E8 is actually 70-75K and it's more expensive than this phone

piagetskinner:

OK Na but that is not really feasible except may be when

$1 = #190

$494 = #93,860. Meaning, even then, not everyone would be able to obtain the phone seriously.

Bros, do you really blame us for doing that actually? Because business is all about maximizing profit, so if you have Dolars for exchange, which rate would you go for

Besides, are the dolars even available for exchange in other points different from Bc exchange points?

Still rocking my M5 though. Gionee remains d best. M5 with 6020MA-H battery coupled with remote control.
Well waiting for dis fellow DAT just arrived.

A Dollar is N199.75... It varies though

Lets say N200 flat.. So we talking bout 90K

But I can assure you Gionee ain't selling this phone to us for N90K..

Like I said, E8 is 70-75K... No mind importers jooooor

Leave that analysis bro... Thats for European and Asian markt. Gionee no dhey hype price for African markt

I can vividly recall peeps saying M5 will go for 70K

Guess what? It was 42,500 wen it came out

You see

queenex:

As per d battery....am not impressed but any idea about d cost?

When it comes to battery optimization, Gionee knows how to go about it... Ask peeps who used P2, P3 & P4 with lower andriod version

$500

Xiaomi mi 5 will murder this device tomorrow

"It packs a 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display with pressure sensitive 3D touch that can sense 3 levels of force including touch, tap and press" Wow! That's what we called innovation. Waiting for tekino to come up with similar thing
