Comparisons Featuring Gionee S8
Short Review
- The Gionee S8 features a sleek design with dimensions of 154.3 x 74.9 x 7 mm and a weight of 147.2g, available in Gray, Gold, and Rose Gold.
- Its 5.5-inch AMOLED display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, delivering vibrant visuals at approximately 401 ppi.
- Powered by the Mediatek MT6755 Helio P10 chipset, it utilizes an octa-core CPU and 4GB of RAM for decent performance in everyday tasks.
- The rear camera boasts a 16 MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while an 8 MP front camera caters to selfies.
- The battery capacity stands at 3000mAh, supporting standard charging but lacking wireless options.
- Running on Android 6.0.1 with Amigo 3.2, the software experience is user-friendly but may feel dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of water resistance and stereo speakers is notable, but the inclusion of a headphone jack remains a plus.
