Gionee CTRL V4 Mobile Price List in India

Gionee, while not a massive brand name, still has wide recognition amongst other mobile phone manufacturers. Based in Shenzhen, they are currently one of the top 10 mobile manufacturers in the world. The company has spread its manufacturing operations to countries all around the world. They are known for making fantastic phones at extremely competitive prices, and the Gionee CTRL V4 is no exception.

Features and Specifications

The Gionee CTRL V4 comes with not only competitive specs, but also a decent design. This phone showcases just how much performance and beauty you can get at a low cost.

The 4.5cm screen is nothing to call home about; it offers a decent resolution of 480 x 854, but it will not knock your socks off. The touch screen is capacitive, and offers a QWERTY keyboard. It supports 2 SIM cards (GSM + GSM), and supports both 2G and 3G networks. Individuals with extensive multimedia collections will be happy to find that it supports MicroSD expansion of up to 32GB; the internal storage is 4GB. The connectivity features are standard, with support for Wi-Fi, USB connectivity, GPS, and Bluetooth.

In addition to these features, the phone packs light, proximity, and gravity sensors as well as an e-compass feature.

Design and Quality

The design is OK – it comes in black and white colors, both of which look very stylish. It does not make any over-the-board design decisions, and instead sticks to tried and true aesthetics. It is not made of any premium materials, and thus will not give you a very premium feel. However, this is to be expected when buying a phone from this price point.

The phone has a very slight curve around the edges – almost to the point where it looks rectangular. It has 2 fairly large bezels at both the top and bottom of the device. This isn’t really an issue, and allows the phone’s chin to provide off-screen navigation.

OS and Tech

Since this is an older phone, the OS is behind a bit; this device is working with Jelly Bean (4.2).

The processor and graphical driver are quite nice. For an everyday user, the Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex A7 will provide more than enough power for everyday applications. The PowerVR Series5XT will run most graphically-based applications with relative ease. These solutions do not compare with a higher-end Samsung Galaxy, for example, but they are fantastic for the average user.

Camera and Multimedia

The Gionee CTRL V4 features 2 cameras – a front-facing one and a rear-facing one. They come in at 5MP and .3 MP respectively. You can expect to take satisfactory photos with the rear camera, but the front camera will be quite sub-standard. The camera has an LED flash, HD and SD video recording, and digital zoom. The manufacturers have included a few additional features such as touch focus, geo-tagging, and face detection.

As far as multimedia is concerned, the phone supports MP4, H.264, and H.263 video codecs. It comes with a music player, FM radio, and ringtone customizer.

Battery and Memory

The Gionee CTRL V4 has a quite decent 1800 mAh Li-Ion battery. When combined with the energy efficient processors driving this phone, the battery will last for quite a while.

Memory is no problem with this phone. Although the internal storage is a mere 4GB, SD card compatibility will raise this to a potential 32GB.
