Gionee’s latest smartphone has been spied on Geekbench revealing details of the phone, and hinting at a new flagship from the company.
The Geekbench details show us that the model number of the mystery phone is Gionee GN9011, and that it is currently running Android 6.0, 4GB RAM and a Mediatek MT6755 chipset running at the full 1.95Ghz.
Gizchina News of the week
The GN9011 might be the ‘pro’ of flagship version of the Gionee W909 which was spotted last month running the same amount of RAM but Android 5.1 and the mid range MT6755M running at 1.81Ghz.
What’s interesting about the new benchmark is that the phone is running Android 6.0 which might indicate that Gionee’s Amigo OS is due a major update. The timing of the leaks also comes just a few weeks before MWC, so perhaps these new phones and Android 6.0 system will be on show?
another one with the 1.8GHz version has been there for a while http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=mt6755m
Probably it’s the S8… Little underwhelming choice of soc if it’s true, but I’m still curious about their announcement about the camera
I do not think that at those results from geekBench this should be called Flagship.
I’m not blaming Gionee for it, as they were nice enough to develop the ElifeE8 so I get to have my PURE XL.
But my results are way higher using a last year device running a last year OS. so I guess the flagship Moniker should be kept for some other Obvious offers from Gionee.
It seems everything with 4gb of Ram is supposed to be Flagship, next thing will be calling the P9000 a flagship too, ????
Flagship means a more than just raw power. For Gionee they have two flagships every year. The S and the E. The S is their style brand, The E is their camera brand. The S line always uses mid range or below chips but it has flagship styling and materials.
Flagship means the companies top of the line phone. Oftentimes it is the companies most expensive phone, but that is not always the case and not required.
I thought that is what I said.
You said “flagship means most expensive”
It does, now can you respond without regurgitating what I already said?
Typical of Gionee for the S line (see above post). The next E phone will have an X20, X30 or SD820. Past S models have used the following SoC’s:
S7- MT6752
S6 – MT6753
S Plus – MT6753
S5.1 Pro – MT6753
S5.1 – MT6592
S5.5 – MT6592
Gionee typically doesn’t use a flagship SoC for it’s flagship S phone. The S is more of what I like to call a “lifestyle brand”. It is a phone that is more about the total package than anyone part. Usually they have great design, incredible build quality (usually using metal or glass), good camera and slim design. They are like a Vivo phone. The one thing that has always held them back has been the software. I will pay $500+ for a Vivo, for a Gionee I always have second thoughts because of the software.
the s plus is part of the S sereies correct? that phone is pretty decent, has a nice camera etc not ground breaking but it takes nicely saturated colors decent, phone, this kind off confirms what your saying.. albeit one example tho
S plus is a very good phone and yes it is part of the S series.
Gionee has never used a flagship soc. The highest they have ever gone is the X10.
Elife E7 used Snapdragon 800 which was a flagship for its time. IMO better than X10 in many things…
The 800/801 (essentially the same chip) was a great SoC at the time but it doesn’t even come close to the X10.
X10 uses A53 “little” cores. That means that it sucks at float operations. In Integer operations it’s kind of better (than SD 800). The GPUs are pretty comparable too. Given that the two are two years apart those are impressive results to say the least.
Real-time performance is very close in fact (compared Xiaomi Mi4 with LeTV One, both running AOSP roms, you can’t say which is faster, actually Mi4 is a tiny bit faster/more responsive).
SD800 remains the best chip that Qualcomm has created, they have yet to top it (anything they’ve created since has been impoved upon by the competition).
The X10 was Mediatek’s flagship SoC last year. The E7 used the SD 800 which at the time was Qualcomm’s flagship SoC.
The E7 launched around the same time Hisense introduced the 801 so it was already long in the tooth to be called a flagship processor.
You do realize the 800 and 801 are the same chip? In some variants the 801 is clocked is slightly higher (2.5 compared to 2.3 ghz) but other than that they are both Krait 400, Quad Core chips with an Adreno 330 GPU. Even having said that your timeline is entirely off:
Gionee Elife E7 – launched November 2013
Hisense X1 – launched January 2014 (also had a SD800)
SD801 – launched February 2014
Hisense X9 – launched July 2014 (SD801)

Nah, the E7 didn’t hit the market until late December and the X1 hit the market in January. I know as I bought the Hisense and checked against the E7. Fact is the 800 wasn’t a flagship with the 801 coming weeks later. Gionee uses cheap components and tries to overprice them. They are the main whitebox of China producing subpar products.
Fact is you have no clue what you are talking about, I provided actual links backing up everything I posted. The X1 had a SD800. The 801 was not coming “weeks later”, it was launched in February which was 2 months after the E7 was launched. The first SD801 phones didn’t appear until around April/May. At the time of the E7’s launch the 800 was Qualcomm’s Flagship SoC. And once again the 800 and 801 are the same exact chip. Here is a detailed breakdown of the two chips:
Gionee uses high quality components and has some of the best build quality in the industry, they also are one of the few companies that give you everything you need in the box including cases, covers, screen protectors and headphones. The only thing holding them back is their software. It is fun proving you wrong everytime though.
You didn’t prove anything, launch doesn’t mean it went on sale. I know, I bought it. Now, Gionee makes pretty phones that run hot with crappy battery life and rebrand them for whitebox. This is fact, there is no debating the issue. .
You still haven’t explained the major difference between SD800 and SD801. Enlighten us all.
The E7 was first sold on December 12, 2013. The SD801 wasn’t launched until February 2014. In December of 2013 what was Qualcomm Flagship SoC that was available to OEMs?
