Short Review
- The Gionee Ctrl V1 features a compact design with dimensions of 123 x 63.5 x 11.2 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 3.95-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 146 ppi, which may not provide the sharpest visuals.
