Verdict
Though the Gionee Pioneer P2S looks slim and smart, the hardware has been provided with it not very powerful. Hardware lagging is most often experienced when it comes to heavy gaming. The initial price as it seem though low, doesn’t satisfy the features it offers, so one can claim it to be expensive smartphone as compared to other phone available in market having much better features in same price range. The best quality about the phone is that it is the only phone that has 5 sensors in this price range. This phone is good for those users who don’t prefer much intensive use of the mobile phones otherwise for heavy users; other better options are available in the market.
