Just bought this device couple of days ago. Overall its a worth buying device. I ordered from Gionee's website (1K extra) because the seller from flipkart was not so good (bad rating).
Gionee sent some demo devices to these sellers to get initial feedback, and they sold it on places like ebay. Probably the bad reviewers (on flipkart) might have got the same.

Pros:
* Nice design, slim and metallic feel.
* Custom OS is good (sometimes I can feel the jerk - its android not iOS).
* Accessories a...

Review after 3 months of use.

Pros :-

> Very Very Very Slim as you know.
> Good Battery life
> Very good display
> Very good touch response.
> Durable
> Good processing speed.

Cons :-
> Single Sim
> No Expandable memory.
> Non removable battery.
> If touch doesn't work then nothing can be done, I mean no reset button.

The design is very very nice
Performance is also very nice
Camera is great
Battery is also good but not great
Overall performance is very good.......no lag while day to day use ( multitasking is also very nice )
Heats up a lot
Gaming performance is good but heats up very quickly.......not for a gamer
The biggest con is UI, its easy to use but you cannot remove or add widgets, which is very annoying but you can always use different launchers like NOVA prime.

there is no doubt it is one of the best looking phone. i travel very often accross india and feel good that even at lot of airports people ask me which is this phone.. proves a point that even the so called air traveler elite find this phone attractive.

yaa there is heating issue if you indulge in hardcore gaming but even then i can tell you it dose not crash as i am hardcore asphalt fan and at a stretch even play for a hour n this beauty still performs at it best yaa it dose get hot but coo...

Gionee, a new comer has come up with the Worlds Thinnest Beauty. I mean, look at it. It is a premium stylish mobile I've ever seen. I love white + gold

Don't compare with Gionee E7 in terms of specs. In its price range you cannot ask for more.
Don't compare with canvas Knight. I'm not against Micromax but its devices are not upto mark. You just can't feel the money you've spent on the devices. BTW, this beats micromax knight in many aspects. Just check iGyaan comparison video once.

I bought this phone in June and am quite satisfied with its performance only wishing that it could have been a bit more. Hope they will fix it in the second generation if ever they come up with one.
First off with the pros:
1) Excellent full HD AMOLED screen. Watching movies and playing games is visual treat, and no it is not SUPER AMOLED as SUPER-AMO is proprietary of Samsung. wiki it.
2) Super-thin pocket-friendly frame.
3) Classy premium looking glass back.
4) Two sets of screen guards i...

I bought this phone(Gionee s5.5, Black) few days ago from flipkart. looking wise its Sooooo beautiful, But in this phone the heating problem brokem my heart. it heats too much when use Games like TEEN PATTI ETC, and on mobile-data(Internet turn on) use tooo. if gionee resolv this heating problem this phone could be best and beautiful in the WORLD..!!!

I brought this cell from a friends shop, when i saw the phone, i tell you, i just fell in love with it. it has super killer looks. trust me S5 looks like a crap when you place this next to it

i brought the cell immediately, even though i was short of cash, as my friend is a multi brand shop owner. anyone who saw the cell fell in love with it, everyone asked where i got it from and wanted to touch and feel it.

but my nightmare started after couple of days, the cell heated up a lot around the...

Its look like a amazing device after one day use, but the memory capacity is little bit concerning.. even though it has a memory capacity of 16 GB only 9.32 is available for the user. i dont think its enough for some one , who likes to store games movies etc on the card. And Amigo UI is not looks friendly, with lot of pre installed useless apps.apart from all these it is a nice product, and much much better than any other devices at this price range (like micromax knight samsung grand) . Hear...

Superb... Thats what i can say... i am not into the review kind of thing but reading some bad reviews in GSM arena and here.. i just saying my opinion. its work fine for me in every aspects in which real smartphone can perform. now updates available with 4.4.2 kitkat..
After updates heating issue reduced. Not only good looking phone Good with cam, games videos, Wifi, 3G, browsing, All Apps working fine for me, no lags. no bugs nothing.. if ur concern about heating issue, common guys ever...
