Gionee’s mega launch event has kicked off and the first two devices announced are the Gionee S11 and Gionee S11s. Both phones are successors to the Gionee S10 series and bring a number of upgrades while keeping some.

Gionee S11S and Gionee S11 Design

For the new flagships, Gionee has settled for a glass body. The glass is 3D but curved on all four sides, a similar design is what Xiaomi used for the Mi 6. But while the glass on the Mi 6 is plain, the one on the S11S and S11 has a reflective finish just like that of the HTC U11.

Gionee S11S and Gionee S11 Specs

Gionee S11S

The Gionee S11S is the more powerful device of the two. It has a 6.01-inch AMOLED display with a FHD+ resolution. There is 6GB of RAM on board and its paired with a MediaTek Helio P30 processor. Built-in storage is 64GB.

One feature the  S11S keeps from the Gionee S10 is the camera configuration. Just like its predecessor, the S11 has dual front and dual rear cameras. The front cameras are a 20MP sensor and an 8MP sensor while the cameras on the rear is a 16MP + 8MP combo.

The S11S has a fingerprint scanner on the rear. It also has NFC with support for mobile payment. Battery capacity is 3600mAh with 18W fast charging.

The S11 packs a slightly smaller 5.99” display but with the same resolution and aspect ratio. It swaps the Helio P30 for the Helio P23 and has 4GB of RAM. Storage is still 64GB and there are four cameras too, however, the configuration is different. You have a 16MP+8MP combo in front and a 16MP+5MP combo on the rear. The battery capacity is also smaller at 3410mAh.

AMIGO OS 5.0

Both the Gionee S11S and Gionee S11 come with the new Amigo OS 5.0. It is still based on Android Nougat but comes with a bunch of new features.

The post Gionee S11& S11S Official: Packs Full View Displays, 3D Glass Design, & Four Cameras appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just a few days after the Gionee S11 was seen on GFXBench, the Gionee S11S has appeared on TENAA. We believe this is a more powerful variant of the S11. Now that it has been seen on the certification database, it hints at a launch date being close.

The S11s’ predecessor, the Gionee S10 was announced just 4 months ago. So it is surprising that a successor is coming so soon.

The Gionee S11S packs a 6.01” 2160 x 1080 AMOLED display just like that of the Gionee M7. The RAM and storage is also the same at 6GB and 64GB respectively. There is a slot for adding up to an additional 128GB. Unlike the version seen on GFXBench with a 2.3GHz octa-core processor, this one has a 2.5GHz SoC. We believe this is the Helio P25.

The Gionee S11S borrows a leaf from its predecessor and that is quad-cameras. There is a 16MP + 8MP combo on the rear and a 20MP + 8MP combo for selfies.

The S11S has a 3600mAh battery, runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat, and measures 155.82 x 72.58 x 6.95 mm. Its weight is recorded as 177.8g.

With respect to design, the Gionee S11S can be described as a mashup between the Gionee M7 and the Gionee S10. It has a metal body with the same dual camera design that is slightly raised. The FullView display means the fingerprint scanner has now been pushed to the back. Power button and volume rocker are on the right side and the SIM tray sits on the left.

The front cameras are at the top left corner, with the earpiece a few mm away. The lower bezel does nothing more than serve as a banner for the manufacturer’s name. TENAA lists the available color as black but the sample images provided show a blue variant. More colors should be revealed when it launches.

Gionee said on Twitter that there are two more FullView devices coming. The image that accompanies the tweet shows the front panel of three devices, with one having a cut-out at the top similar to the iPhone X. If we count the M7 and M7 Power as one of the three, the S11 and S11S as the second one, that leaves the phone with the cut-out display as the third which we have heard nothing about so far.
