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.

The post Gionee Confirms Smartphones That Will Launch On November 26 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Gionee S11S was seen on TENAA a couple of months back. One of its key features is its dual front and dual rear cameras just like its predecessor, the Gionee S10. Expected to be one of the devices launching on November 26, camera samples of the phone has been posted online.

Based on the specs on TENAA, the Gionee S11S will have a 16MP + 8MP combo in front for selfies, and a 20MP + 8MP configuration on the rear. The camera configuration is the same as that of the Gionee S10, but we presume that Gionee may have modified the aperture size and worked on improving the overall camera performance. So there is a chance both phones will provide different camera results.

Like the OnePlus 5T, the main change coming to the Gionee S11S is the new 18:9 display. Though TENAA reveals it will have a larger RAM and a slightly bigger battery.

The Gionee S11S will launch with a 6.01” 2160 x 1080 AMOLED Full View display. It will have thinner bezels at the top and bottom of the phone and will have its fingerprint scanner on the rear.

Unlike the S10 with 4GB of RAM, the S11 has 6GB but keeps storage at 64GB. It also packs the same Helio P25 processor. It will launch with Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box and come with a 3,600mAh battery.

The Gionee S10 launched in three variants – the S10, S10B, and S10C. The same may apply to the S11 too. We already know of two variants – the S11S above, and the S11 which will also come with dual front facing cameras in the same configuration as the S11S but with a 16MP + 5MP configuration on the back. It will also have a Full View display.

Both phones are expected to be launched on the 26th of November alongside six others.

The post Gionee to Announce 8 Bezel-less Phones on November 26 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.
