Summary
- The Gionee S8 features a larger 5.5-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo has a slightly smaller 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with the same resolution but a higher pixel density of ~432 ppi.
- In terms of performance, the Gionee S8 is powered by the Mediatek MT6755 Helio P10 chipset with 4GB of RAM, compared to the Galaxy S5 Neo's Exynos 7580 Octa chipset and 2GB of RAM, giving the Gionee an edge in multitasking.

- The Gionee S8 has a 3000 mAh battery capacity, slightly larger than the S5 Neo's 2800 mAh, but both lack fast charging and wireless charging.
