Gionee may have declared
bankruptcy at the end of 2018, but the brand is still around. Here’s some
proof: it just unveiled a new phone, the Gionee Steel 5. The phone is built
around a 6.2” IPS LCD with 720p resolution. Up top is the 13MP selfie camera in
a teardrop notch. Around the back is square camera bump housing the 12MP camera
and 2MP depth sensor, plus a two LED flash.
The phone’s best feature is
probably the 5,000mAh battery. It could have benefited from fast charging,
though, you only get the bare minimum of 10W. The phone features 4G
connectivity and two SIM card slots.
The Gionee Steel 5 runs
“AmigoOS” based on Android 9 Pie. It comes in two memory configurations, 4/64GB
and 6/128GB. However, the chipset inside the phone is as yet unnamed – all we
know is that it has an octa-core processor.
Details about the availability
and price of the Steel 5 are still to be announced.
