Gionee has finally launched the much awaited Gionee S10 flagship smartphone. It is one of the top-end models from the company this year and comes with four cameras in total, making it unique among the other dual camera flagships in the market. So, the S10 comes with dual cameras on the front as well as at the back to ensure the phone is capable of capturing amazing selfies as well as bokeh photos from both the camera setups.

Gionee S10 Design

There’s no denying that the Gionee S10 takes inspiration from the iPhone 7 Plus. The basic design is very similar to the Apple model, including the horizontal arrangement of the dual camera setup at the back.

The phone is made out of metal unibody and the back looks refined thanks to the antenna lines that are hidden along the top and bottom edges. It’s thin at 7.35mm but heavy at 178 grams. There are four color options available for the phone right now — Cherry gold, dark night black, indigo gray blue, primrose green.

Even the front is quite iPhone-like. You have dual cameras on top as well as a soft LED flash. Down below the display, you’ve got a fingerprint sensor.

Gionee S10 Specs

Specs have never really been the highlight of Gionee’s top-end smartphones. The company tends to go with mid-range processors with generous RAM and storage. The same strategy has been applied here, as the Gionee S10 comes with a 2.5GHz Helio P25 octa-core chipset inside with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Now, note that the P25 isn’t really a flagship chip and we have seen many mid-rangers from local Chinese companies like Elephone (Elephone P28) and Doogee (Doogee Mix) feature this chipset. It’s pretty good for a mid-ranger but how good will it be handling the requirements of a flagship phone like S10 is something we’ll have to wait and see.

The Gionee S10 comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD display. Also, there’s a pretty decent 3450mAh capacity battery inside, which should be good enough for a day with P25 powering the phone.

As for the software, the phone comes with AMIGO 4.0 with Android 7. AI is integrated into the software, but we aren’t sure how exactly it would help users in day to day life.

Gionee S10 Cameras

The camera is definitely the highlight of the Gionee S10. The company has included four cameras in total, two at the back and two up front. The rear setup consists of a 16MP primary sensor + an 8MP secondary sensor. Other features include 6P lens and f/1.8 aperture. The company notes that it has worked on the sensor to improve low-light photography significantly. So, you can expect less noise in the night time pictures.

Up front, the phone comes with a 20MP + 8MP setup. There’s a selfie flash beside the front camera setup as well.

Now, expect to capture some great bokeh images with the cameras on the Gionee S10. The company wants you to take SLR level depth of field pictures with its camera, but we’ll have to play with it first to see how good the cameras are.

Gionee S10 Price & Availability

The Gionee S10 is not a cheap flagship, as you will have to shell out as much as 2599 Yuan for the 6GB +64GB model. That comes to nearly $380. That’s the territory of a number of super flagships including the Xiaomi Mi 6.

Note that there are two more variants of the device announced, the Gionee S10B and the Gionee S10C.

Gionee has released a teaser image confirming that the Gionee S10 will indeed feature dual front and rear cameras. The teaser image shows Chinese singer, Xue Qian holding a dual camera phone.

The image was posted by Gionee’s VP, Yu Lei on Weibo and was accompanied by a text mentioning the phone’s four cameras. It has also been stated the singer will serve as brand ambassador for the Gionee S10 phones.

We have seen three variants of the Gionee S10 surface on TENAA. One has just a single camera on the back and front, another has dual cameras on the rear and a single camera in front, and the most recent one confirmed to be called the S10 and not S10 Plus (the other two will have suffixes attached to their names) has four cameras.

The Gionee S10 is powered by a 2.5GHz octa-core processor, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and runs Amigo OS based on Android 7.0. The rear camera is a 16MP + 8MP combo and the one in front is a 20MP+ 8MP sensor. It will come with a 3450mAh battery and be available in black and gold.

The Gionee S10 is actually not the first smartphone in the world with four cameras. The Alcatel Flash or Alcatel Flash X (depending on the market) is the first.

Gionee VP, Yu Lei has teased the company’s upcoming smartphone, the Gionee S10 via a post on Weibo. The teaser comes in an unusual way because he didn’t share a video of the device or a post about its specs. Rather, the VP shared a short Weibo post containing only the word “test”. What makes the post spectacular is that it could be noticed to have been sent from the Gionee S10.

The Gionee S10 has earlier made the rounds on TENAA where it received certification. According to the TENAA data, the S10 sports a similar 5.5-inch FHD display as the Gionee S9 released last year. The device is powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core processor backed by 4GB while there is a 64GB storage onboard.

The Gionee S10 is rumoured to pack a dual camera setup both at the front and back but that is not certain. The TENAA document only listed a dual-lens camera at the rear which is a 13MP + 13MP setup. On the other hand, the front camera is a single 16MP sensor. The S10 also packs a 3700mAh battery and runs Android 7.0 Nougat from the go.

The product launch is probably not too far away considering the latest teaser which the VP later deleted from his Weibo account. Another feeler which could point at an imminent launch is the unveiling of a new brand ambassador by the company in China. There is, however, no specific date yet for the S10 launch.

Less than six months ago, the dual camera Gionee S9 hit the market. Those who picked it up might be sad to learn that a successor is already on the way. The Gionee S10 was seen getting certified on TENAA. While the upgrades are not a lot, it still hurts to see a phone get refreshed less than a year after launch.

The Gionee S10 has the same 5.5-inch FHD display as the S9. The RAM and storage have also been kept at 4GB and 64GB respectively. Where the Gionee S10  begins to differ are in the cameras, battery and software.

The dual rear cameras are now both 13MP sensors while the front-facing camera is a 16MP shooter. The rear cameras have been redesigned as they now sit at the left corner and are raised. The battery capacity has also been increased to 3700mAh. The TENAA listing shows that the Gionee S10 runs Android 7.0 Nougat but there is no information if it will be Amigo OS 4.0. The processor wasn’t specified but it is still a 2.0GHz octa-core SoC.

The Gionee S10 has a metal back plate and a glass front. The front camera has its own LED flash and the home button doubles as a fingerprint scanner. Dimensions for the S10 says it measures 154.5 × 76 × 7.6 mm and weighs 176.6g. Since it has gotten its TENAA certification, the launch should be around the corner.
