Information that had surfaced at the end of the previous month had revealed that the China-based Gionee may soon shut down its operation since it is on the verge of bankruptcy. In India, Gionee had launched the Gionee S11 Lite and Gionee 205 smartphones in April. Since April, the Twitter and Facebook accounts of Gionee India have been inactive. However, the Indian wing of the company has confirmed through Flipkart that it will be launching two new phones in the country.

As it can be seen in the below image, the three main features of the first smartphone are full-view display, great camera and budget deal. Some of the specs of the smartphone has also been revealed. It includes 8-megapixel autofocus enabled camera, face unlock, HD+ resolution, 5-megapixel selfie camera, 2 GB RAM and expandable storage.

The name “F205” is also mentioned at the top. Moreover, all the aforementioned specs match with the Gionee F205 smartphone that was announced in April with a price tag of Rs. 8,999. This suggests that the company could re-launching the smartphone. Hopefully, the handset will be arriving in the market with a reduced pricing.

Coming to the second phone, its salient features are beautiful design, great performance and long-lasting battery. The smartphone is equipped with features like horizontal dual camera, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, 4 GB of RAM, full view display and Snapdragon octa-core processor.

The “S11 Lite” moniker is also mentioned in the launch teaser which indicates it could be also relaunched in India alongside the F205 handset. The Gionee S11 Lite was unveiled in India in April with a price tag of Rs. 13,999 which was too expensive for the specs it offered.
