Last week, Gionee F8 Neo was spotted on Google Play Console. The handset’s listing revealed some of its specifications. Now, this smartphone has launched officially in India for an affordable price tag of ₹5,499 ($75).
The Gionee F8 Neo is an entry-level smartphone. This device is aimed at first-time smartphone buyers. It competes directly with Samsung’s cheapest 2020 smartphone – Galaxy M01 Core.
On the front, the phone features a 5.4-inch HD+ (720 x 1440 pixels) LCD panel without any notch or punch-hole. Therefore, the 5MP selfie camera resides in the bezel above the screen along with an LED flash and an earpiece for calls.
The back of the handset sports geometric patterns like certain realme devices and houses an 8MP main camera accompanied by an LED flash. Being a super cheap smartphone, it lacks a fingerprint sensor but does support the less secure face unlock via the front-facing camera.
Although the brand did not reveal it, as per the Google Play Console listing, it is powered by UNISOC (formerly Spreadtrum) SC9863A chipset paired with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. If required, users can further expand the storage up to 256GB via microSD card.
Further, the phone runs Android 10 and is backed by a 3,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging. Lastly, it will be available in Black, Blue, and Red color options across 1.5 to 2 lakh offline stores in India ahead of Diwali festive season.
