Gionee Pioneer P5 mini Mobile Price List in India

Gionee based in China and founded in 2002 has a robust brand presence in Southeast and South Asian and Middle East countries including India. Since its inception, Gionee has come out with a variety of low-priced, mid-budget, and high-end smartphones that have been struck a popular cord with innumerable smartphone users. As recently as April, the Chinese smartphone company released an immensely affordable handset-the Pioneer P5 Mini-which has quite a few useful features including ‘Face Unlock’ functionality, advanced cameras, and DTS (dedicated to sound) to name a few.

Specs

The Pioneer Mini P5 is driven by the intuitive Android v5.1 Lollipop (Amigo 3.1) OS that gets a further boost from the MediaTek 6580m 1.3 GHz quad-core processor. That means switching from one app to other, enjoying movies, music or games, and multi-tasking becomes remarkably convenient. A 4.5-inch screen resolution of 480 x 854 megapixels coupled with 218 PPI of pixel density makes the most of FWVGA IPS display technology to reproduce lifelike pictures and images.    

The UI gets comprehensive protection from scrapes, bumps, grazes, and sudden impacts, thanks to the Asahi Dragontail glass covering. With dimensions of 13.2cm x 6.66cm x 0.91cm, the handset comes across as a compact device letting you solidly grip the phone and firmly wrap your fingers around it without compromising on comfortableness. A weight of 132g does not make the phone very lightweight but neither does it feel bulky when you hold it or slide it in your shirt pocket.

An internal storage of 8GB that can be swelled up to a maximum of 128GB via a micro-SD or micro-SDHC card offers you more near infinite storage space for your entire personal and official database. Alternatively, the 1gigabytes of RAM memory is simply not enough if you want to play the latest videogames on the Pioneer P5 Mini. However, the handset comes preloaded with a plethora of apps that you can make good use of including WhatsApp, Gionee Xender, WPS Office, 360 security life, clean master, TouchPal 2015, Facebook, and battery doctor.

The primary 5 megapixel camera at the backside supports some versatile features like geo-tagging, filter, pic note, face beauty, high dynamic range mode, GIF, and panorama that shutterbugs will find useful. The secondary 2 megapixel camera at the front is effective for HD video-enabled chats. You get 9.25 hours and 18.5 hours of talk-time on 3G and 2G networks respectively from the 1850mAh Li-ion battery.

Verdict

Costing around Rs. 5000-5,200, the Pioneer P5 Mini from the house of Gionee ticks all the right boxes as far as a low-priced handset is concerned. Phones that give this phone a competition include Redmi2, InFocus M260, and Asus ZenFone Go 4.5.
