The guy is happy.

but the phone no bad. I'm using it currently. Since I was robbed of my note 3. I'll list the things I like about the phone and things I don't like.

things I like.

1. Battery: I am a heavy user the phone lasts me 3days without charging. the battery is rugged. I love the battery so much I purchased an extra battery just in case. I've not used the extra battery till 2mao, since over a month now.
4000mah

2. Screen. it's an IPS screen no funny colors. the screen is an HD screen.

3. Camera. The phone's camera is the one of best I've seen on cheap phones. really good for selfies as it has wide angles to cover everyone.
front 5mp, back 8mp

things I hate
1. UI: The UI makes me sick. all I'm looking for is to change the OS to a more Google material design like ui. I mean complete OS change. I don't know what is more beautiful than pure Android.

2. weight. it's kind of heavy. that's just because if the battery. nothing more.

Those are my thoughts.

3.DESIGN:i hve d gold colour which is very "premium looking "....coupled wif d 2.5D glass nd amoled-like screen.... its cute,nd chicks digs cute...., most chicks be like "pls srry wts d name of ur phone...
"its gionee... "
"its do u hve any music videos or skits.... i like the phone o.... its cute".........i get dt alot#
nd mind u dis monster is strong it has fallen 3 times nw wifout a pouch (dnt like using pouches,remves d sleek feel) first twas on d stairs, den twice in d bedroom.... no scratches on the screen wtsoever.... nd its dent free.....
#I JUS WNTD TO POST DIS TO PEPL WHO ARE SKEPTICAL OF GETTING D PHONE.... OR WANTS TO KNOW BOUT D PHONE.... NOT FRM D SPECS SHEET BUT FRM EVERYDAY USAGE.... IF U WANT SPECS DEN PLS USE GOOGLE...

Battery life

UI

System Manager(cool feature)

DTS sound option#

I agree on the build quality. mine hasn't fallen for once but it's so better in hand than tecno, infinix.

The build quality is sturdy.

Price

You see the control buttons under the screen it doesn't reflex light in darkness that is the only thing I hate about the phone.
Other things are cool for a phone of such budget

not very heavy. but you'll notice it's heavier than most phones.

Emmaco1990:

I got mine for N33000. I'm sure it will be between N35000 and N37000 now. Good luck

havent noticed d hangn

Yeah, it's nice. I hate the UI though. From the launcher to the pull-up tray to the untidy system settings arrangement... Gionee no try for their Amigo UI.

On the whole, it's a lovely phone.

It's a nice phone for heavy users.

thats right bro, the U.I is not appealing to me too, have u tried installing a launcher or rooting it & installing another rom

Now I think I know the reason for d delay in bringing in m5 plus

They should have atleast include an LTE (4G) functionality. Well, they might have forgotton.
