That, because the phone was recently spotted on TENAA. The listing on the website that accompanied the visit talks about the radio features and such, let’s take a deeper look.
First, lets take a quick look over the spec sheet of the Gionee S8 (hands on):
Gizchina News of the week
- 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080p AMOLED display
- MediaTek MT6755 Helio P10 processor
- 4GB RAM
- 64GB ROM
- 16 mega-pixel rear camera
- 8 mega-pixel front facing camera
- 3000mAh battery
- Android 6.0 (Amigo 3.2 overlay)
As you can see, the phone is quite a powerhouse. To get an idea of the Helio P10’s potency, read our review of the Elephone P9000.
Coming back to the TENAA listing, it lists the S8 with model number GN9011, with network support listed for TD-LTE / LTE FDD / TD -SCDMA / WCDMA / CDMA2000 / CDMA 1X and GSM.
With the phone having received network certification already, you can expect it to go on sale in China in the coming weeks.
I hope someone will do a camera comparison with the mi5 even tho the mi5 is like a way more powerful phone in terms of processor
And the s8 will probably be really expensive
Expect the S8 to start around $450 with Gionee badging. Blu will probably release it 6 months from now at under $200. They usually rebrand the “S” series phones for $199.
As for the camera it was amazing from my hands on time with it at MWC.
No. Blu releases the E series for around $349. Their latest one was the Pure XL, which is the E8. The most recent S series is the Vivo 5, S7.
No, I was talking about s8 camera performances: it could become a “nice specs phone with a great camera for the price” just like e7 used to be back in the days!
Ahh I gotcha. Gionee usually does pretty well in the camera department on all their phones. Their downfall is always software and price.
with pretty stock android and US bands! really hoping you are right about BLU rebadging this phone
A Blu rep already confirmed to me that they will be releasing at some point. It will be the next Vivo phone for them.
Yes, it is. Everything asks more power. So if you want it to last you more than a day on moderate to heavy use. 3000 isnt enough
it maybe enough, if you knew its density i.e Wh/l
The P10 was developed for power efficiency as well so it should be fine with that, although a bigger one would always be welcomed. But they also have to make money….
3000 is enough in any of my phones for a day. lol. and i play games, browse the web watch youtube in the evening and chat a lot.
3150 lasts me a day and half with a processor that isn’t as efficient as the P10….
The P10 is an efficient processor and 3000mAh is what most phones under 7mm thick have. The Xiaomi Mi5 with a larger display and a more powerful processor has 3500.
Forget the E8 I am still waiting for the S7 review, it’s been almost a year since the hands on was done….
