Gionee S10, S10B and S10C


Gionee just unwrapped its new trio of S-line phones. The higher-end Gionee S10, the middle-child S10B and the entry level S10C.

The Gionee S10 is the best of the bunch. Its highlight are the four cameras - two at the front and two more at the back. The main snappers have 16MP/8MP sensors and the selfies are taken by a 20MP/8MP setup. The S10 has a 5.5" 1080p LCD with 2.5D curved glass, a MediaTek Helio P25 chipset with octa-core processor and 6GB of RAM. There's a built-in 3,450 mAh battery inside.

The Gionee S10B has a dual camera on the back - 13MP/5MP arrangement - but a single 16MP front-facing snapper. Otherwise it has a 5.5" 1080p LCD and uses a Helio P10 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Gionee S10B uses a 3,700 mAh battery.


Finally the more modest, specs-wise, Gionee S10C. It only has a single 13MP rear camera and 16MP front-facing camera. Swapping MediaTek for Qualcomm it uses a Snapdragon 427 chip with Adreno 308 GPU and 4GB of RAM. The battery on board the Gionee S10C is a 3,100 mAh.

All three smartphones have hybrid slots that allow either Dual SIM or microSD storage expansion, all three have fingerprint scanners and all three run Amigo OS on top of Android 7.0 Nougat.

The Gionee S10 will come in Cherry Gold, Dark Black, Indigo Blue and Primrose Green for CNY 2,599 (€ 338/£ 295/US$ 378/RS 24,430) and will be available in China starting June 9. The Gionee S10B is also scheduled for a June 9 China release and it will cost CNY 2199 (€ 286/£ 249/US$ 320/RS 20,670).
