Troubled Chinese smartphone manufacturer Gionee seems to have made a comeback in the Indian market. The company has launched a new smartphone — Gionee F205 Pro, which seems to be an upgraded model of the Gionee F205 launched in India last year.

The smartphone, which is priced at Rs. 6,990 (approximately $98), comes in three color options — Black, Blue, and Champagne Gold. However, Flipkart is currently offering a discount of Rs. 1,100, bringing the phone’s effective pricing to Rs. 5,890 (roughly $83).

The Gionee F205 Pro comes with a 5.45-inch HD+ display with 1440 x 720 pixels screen resolution, 18:9 aspect ratio and a 2.5D curved glass. Under the hood, the device is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6739WW processor, coupled with 2GB of RAM.

It packs 16GB of internal storage, along with a microSD card slot that enables users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 256GB. In the camera department, the handset features a 13-megapixel rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture. Gionee is touting features like Portrait Mode, beautification, HDR, scene detection, and more.

On the front side, the device comes equipped with a 5-megapixel front camera, with an f/2.2 aperture. The phone also supports Face Unlock feature and there’s also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added protection.

Connectivity options include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.1, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Micro-USB port. Running on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box with a custom interface on top, the phone is powered by a 3,000mAh battery.
