Gionee has been under the radar since last year. The last we heard of the Chinese manufacturer is that it was laying off its workers and has unsettled debts. It appears things have gotten better as the manufacturer has announced an event for April 26.

Gionee took to its official Twitter page to announce that it will launch a new product in India on Thursday. The teaser image shows the outline of the upper part of a phone. From the image, we can tell it will come with an 18:9 display which Gionee has termed FullView.

We have an idea of the product that may be unveiled at the event and it is one that you are already familiar with. Our guess is the Gionee S11.

Back in December, it was reported that the Gionee S11 would be available in India in January 2018. Unfortunately, it wasn’t announced. If things are back on track for the company, then there is nothing stopping them from launching the phone now.

The Gionee S11 has a 5.99” FHD+ FullView display. It is powered by an Helio P23 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The selling point of the S11 is its dual front and rear cameras. The front cameras are  16MP and 8MP sensors while the rear cameras are a 16MP + 5MP duo. It has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, runs Android 7.1 Nougat, and a 3,410mAh battery.

However, Gionee is also reported to be working on a new phone with an in-display fingerprint scanner. We will be surprised if this is the phone that launches on Thursday.

The official Gionee India Twitter page also released a new teaser today. This one is not for a phone but probably new brand ambassadors judging from the image and the Gioneesuperheroes hashtag.

Gionee S11, which features four cameras — two at the back and two on the front, is reportedly all set to launch in India. According to the report, the Gionee S11 will launch in India in January 2018. The phone was originally launched in China last month, along with a few other models.

While the exact date for the device’s launch in India remains unknown, a report suggests that the phone’s launch could be pushed towards the end of the month in January because of logistics-related delays. In India, the smartphone is expected to be priced under Rs. 20,000, which roughly converts to $313.

The Gionee S11 comes in a glass-clad body, which is 3D but curved on all four sides. The glass has a reflective finish, similar to what we saw on HTC U11. The phone sports a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixel resolution and an 18:9 aspect ratio.

Under the hood, the phone is powered by MediaTek Helio P23 processor along with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. There is an option to expand the storage capacity of the device up to 128GB, using a microSD card.

One of the major highlights of the phone is that it bears four cameras — two at the back and two on the front side. The phone features a 16-megapixel sensor and an 8-megapixel sensor on the front, while there’s a dual camera setup consisting 16-megapixel and 5-megapixel lenses at the back.

The device runs Amigo OS 5.0 which is still based on Android Nougat operating system but comes with a bunch of new features. The phone is fuelled by a 3,410mAh battery, which should be enough to provide power for the entire day on single charge.
