Unboxing pics..

more screen shots..

The good and bad..So far,i hv noticed slight hassles.First of all i had to uninstall touch pal because of the annoying voice prompt of the lady as you type.The google keyboard is better.Also bbm keeps closing in d background whc can make ping notifications delay or not show up,but whatsapp runs perfectly.Once the bbm connected sign is on d notification center,u can get notifications.I feel the phone closes it to conserve battery and ram.Also, while downloading with uc browser and u minimize it,it closes. That automatically pauses the download. The way around that is to keep d ucbrowser app open till the download is over.Asides these issues whc i can live with,i still see it as perfect for me.Gionee did a good job here.The note,calendar app,music,system manager (whc houses a battery saver,data manager,ram cleaner,application manager and others are all very efficient.That disposes of the need to download battery doctor and clean master. The call and message app has d ability to block calls and messages from persons you want to blacklist.The music player is awesome,has a nice ui.It sounds great and has very good speaker output.The gionee earpiece isnt so good,maybe because i am an audiophile.Its decent for an average music lover,but i prefer in ear headsets,u know the good stuff like havit,beats and skull candy. The bass wasn't as good as it could have been considering the DTS audio the phone has.I used my Samsung in ear galaxy s4 earpiece and it was very nice.The Music output became much more clearer,with good bass.The camera is ok,but not so spectacular.You get the best result when you take the pics outdoor,or with flash in a dim environment..The phone launcher is perfect,if you know how to customize it.Overall,the phone is a good buy and i would buy it all over again without hesitation.

Modified:i updated my my bbm app to the current version,it solved d notification issues.I can now receive pings even when the bbm app isnt running in d notification center.I was using a version released early last year,that's y i had those issues.@olayinkajnr and shedo4sure, i am currently using the power saving mode.It conserves battery better than the normal mode.

Same with me. It's hard to come from 4000mah to 2000mah

my cubetalk 9xbtaught me not to look at d numbers.That tab real capacity na like 5000mah,not 10000 listed.Every minute,you lose one percent when browsing with d cubetalk 9x.So far,i hvnt experienced that on this phone,which is ok because experts say the li-on battery works at its best after 3 charge cycles.My lumia 520 i used years back had a very crappy battery life d first 2 days.I even took it back to the plaza thinking it was bad,that was when a nokia engineer told me the battery life wud improve after 3 charge cycles.Truly,it actually improved after a week. from that,i feel this gionee p5w phone has good battery and ram optimization mechanisms in place.It was fully charged by past 1,i still have 40% left.i have been pressing it constantly setting up apps making whatsapp calls with 3g,browsing and listening to music.It seems ok to me sha.It depends on ur usage.I dont have battery draining heavy games on it eg candy crush.

NONNYG:
queen, plz drop ur review, forget abt wat nairalanders will say. also we need the pics too. thanks

maybe weekend o.I Have cases to prepare for throughout d week.

Functionoftime:
madam.... You dey tempt me oooo. E be like say i no go wait for m5mini again o
Can i buy an extra battery because the ba3 seems to be the only thing about this phone discouraging me

don't be tempted o,get a good power bank instead.Iplan to get either lumsing or xaiomi.Though dey r xpensive,but worth d investment.

@youngsage,u can't pick d colours o..I have been busy all day,would have uploaded the pics and further review. See, its better experienced than explained,just get the phone if u want to..If I start to rave abt how awesome the phone is,naira landers would say I am a gionee staff.

Dam5reey:
Welcome to P5W (Splus mini)....
The phone on paper is 158g, However its feels so light and sleek....
I change to the Second Cover Red last week people were like "Wow you got a new phone? "

my brother,na really splus mini o...Our secretary said the phone is a steal for the price point. and the battery is OK it doesn't drain so fast.

olayinkajnr:
Yeah, use mtk engineering tools. That's what I used

ok thanks...wil download that on my tab now.Please o..konga has taken d phone ad down o.My aunt and a colleague wants to buy,I have searched for it,to no avail!Please help me check too o,maybe I am doing sth wrong.Phone I bought 2 days back go just disappear from konga site?

Leorichy,pls check the konga daily deals section.That's where I ordered from.@olayinkajnr,how did u tweak urs to use glo bis.Cos mobileuncletools isn't working o..Abi I shud try d mtk engineering tools?

Keep on rocking. You might wanna get a tempered glass for it... It's super cool

Na true..but I am very careful with phones..I have never had a broken phone screen in all my years of using phones.

Hallaaaaa...my phone has arrived.I placed the order 1pm yesterday,konga delivered to my office by past 4pm today.Thumbs up to konga,they never cease to impress me.What can I say?It was love at first sight.The ui is cool,very fast and responsive.Many apps were preinstalled on it eg ucbrowser,2go and some others.I just did a quick tour before turning it off to charge later.
Upon opening the box,I got 2 extra covers (blue and gold),Plus the black I ordered for.The black colour is a finger print magnet..infact,mtn should use it for sim registration.But it can be solved by using the transparent pouch that came with it.I looove the gold,it gives it this premium look.that would be my go-to color for now.
Other accesories include :earphones,charger,usb cord,screen protector,(with cleaning cloth) and transparent pouch.Further review would come by tomorrow when its fully charged.
The device looks very sleek,lightweight and thin.The screen resolution is very sharp and not laggy.If not for gionee logo on it,with d gold cover it could be mistaken for an iphone 6.I can't wait to start rocking it jare.

Dear I appreciate your concern,but not all can afford a cooker remember?

Get the camping gas,those ones with burner attached to the cylinder.5kg is 5000,to fill it is 1400.And it lasts me for 3 months and some days.

Youngsage:
Hello... Considering getting this device. Is it true this phone comes with 3 extra battery covers in the box?!
Pls when yours gets delivered, kindly clarify. And for how much did you order it also? Thank you. cc olayinkajnr

from d reviews and unboxing pictures.I can say it indeed comes with 3 extra plastic covers.It was even specifed on konga.com.I ordered it for 20,900(including delivery).I used konga pay and got 5 percent discount.If you want to pay on delivery its 22k,but if u have kongapay its 20,900,with buyer protection ie
They would instantly refund you if your order does not arrive, is damaged, or is substantially different from what was described.

I'll post a pix I took with the front camera and also other screenshots. But I'll remove image 1 after you mention this post. BTW, I switched to the power saving mode. That's why my back ground is dark.

thanks baba..seen d pic,the camera is very ok for the price of the device..The powersaving mode is perfect for me,I hate bright lights in phones,maybe because of constant reading of ebooks.I appreciate u taking out time to review the phone.Can't wait for mine to be delivered.

Sis, the 2000mah ain't bad. Under heavy usage, it last 7-8hours. Don't expect a gionee m3mini battery life on this but it's far better than infinix hot 2 2200mah battery coz I use both device in space of two days. Multitasking is superb compared to the laggy m3mini. And also, the audio output is cool, superb DTS better than that of gionee m3. One other selling point is the sleekness. Very nice design and also lightweight. And also, it's supports future developments as it came with the latest kernel that supports android 6.0 and also because it's released internationally compared to the m3mini that's released for Nigerians. The camera is a clear as the m3mini but way better, especially the front camera. If you here is any other thing you wanna know, you can ask mam.

oshey jare...you try for me.Please post screenshots of d front camera and settings,lemme whet my appetite small.Great review,you answered all my questions.

olayinkajnr:
