Gionee S9
The Gionee S9 was made official today in
China. The phablet packs some interesting hardware
nonetheless.
The specsheet starts with a 5.5-inch FullHD display
and goes on to include a Mediatek P10 chipset.
The display numbers are the same, the S9 makes a
switch from AMOLED to LCD. RAM and storage have been kept at 4GB and 64GB
respectively.
Another area where the S9 deviates from its
predecessor is the imaging department - the S9 joins the dual camera bandwagon.
On its back there is a 13MP/5MP pair with a focus on producing depth of field
effects. Selfies are taken care of by another 13MP cam.
The Gionee S9 measures 154.2 x 76.4 x 7.4 mm and
weighs 168 grams, so it is physically different from the S8. The 20 grams of added
weight doesn't mean more battery though - capacity is still 3,000 mAh. The
Gionee S9 is listed for pre-order in China at CNY 2,499 (US$ 364). It'll be
available for purchase on November 25.
