Gionee has been busy updating its phones to KitKat in the past month, but still managed to find time to launch a new Gpad G5. The latest introduction is a 5.5-inch phablet equipped with mid-range features and a hexa core processor a price of Rs 14999.
With the Xiaomi Mi 3 out of way for the time being, the Gionee Gpad G5 and other similarly priced devices have a good shot at attracting potential customers. The handset in question looks quite similar to the former device. It offers a slim design of 7.9mm and it only weighs around 105gm without the battery.
The 5.5-inch display on the front features 720p HD visuals and is coated with Dragontail Glass for added protection. A 2MP camera is also present here, while an 8MP snapper can be found on the rear. Android 4.4 KitKat is delivered out of the box and is powered by a 1.5GHz hexa core MediaTek processor based on the Cortex A7 with Mali 450 graphics.
