Pioneer P3S
Gionee
introduces a new budget smartphone - the Pioneer P3S, which is a prompt upgrade
over the 2013's Pioneer P3. The new S model bumps the screen size, RAM amount
and storage capacity.
The
Gionee Pioneer P3S features a 4.5" FWVGA display and runs on the rather
dated MT6582 chip. The MediaTek's platform offers a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7
processor, Mali-T400 GPU and 1 GB RAM. Those are the same specs as the previous
P3 model, but the RAM is doubled.
The
Pioneer P3S also sports a 5 MP AF rear camera, a VGA front snapper, 16 GB
expandable storage and a 2,000 mAh battery. The connectivity package includes
3G and dual-SIM capabilities.
Gionee
Pioneer P3S runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop with Amigo 3.1 launcher. It will go on
sale in India this week for INR 5,999 or about US$ 90. Unfortunately, that's
currently the price of the much better Xiaomi Redmi 2, so you might want to
consider your options before placing a bet.
