Comparisons Featuring Gionee Ctrl V5
Short Review
- The Gionee Ctrl V5 features a compact design with dimensions of 134.5 x 67.7 x 8.1 mm and a lightweight build at 103.5g.
- Its 4.7-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 234 ppi, suitable for basic viewing needs.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6582V/X chipset and a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, the performance is adequate for everyday tasks, supported by 1GB of RAM.
