Gionee’s New Budget Phones: Gionee Max vs F8 Neo
Notably, the latest Gionee budget phone has come within months of Gionee Max launch. What’s even more interesting is that both are available at exactly the same price in India. Gionee Max is also currently priced at Rs 5499 on Flipkart. While Gionee Max offered a larger 6.1-inch screen size, Gionee F8 Neo comes with a 5.45-inch screen. However, both offer LCD display. Additionally, while the duo shares the same 5-megapixel selfie camera specs, Max model offers a better 13-megapixel rear camera as well as a larger 5000 mAh battery. Yet, its wide range of additional perks like camera modes, face unlocks features, etc. may prove to be a significant selling point for F8 Neo. Nevertheless, even with two competing budget phones, Gionee is likely to be the ultimate gainer. HT Tech had also cited a recent Flipkart report stating that it has observed a significant rise in the demand for budget smartphones post the pandemic. Pardeep Jain, Managing Director, JIPL has also noted in his statement, “We are confident that this device will add on to the festive mood and offer the much-needed delight to consumers seeking for affordable yet super quality smartphones in the recent times.” For the uninitiated, JIPL is the firm that manages Gionee operations in India.
