        got my s5.5 two weeks ago. im no techie, so specs is not an issue. i just need sms & calls. this may be the 'world's slimmest fon' but it also carries the 'world's thinnest audio signal'... i can't hear what the other guy on the line is saying even if i'm in my room!!!... no problem with listening to music & recordings though. went to the gionee store where i bought my unit and had all the volume controls fixed at max level. lo & behold, still the same!!! can anyone help me pls? this fon problem is already costing me a lot in my job as a pianist!!! CALLING GIONEE: I'D LIKE TO RETURN MY UNIT BACK TO YOUR COMPANY. CAN I STILL DO SO?

                    Hi
                    This is Naveen from Chennai I bought this model on Aug 28th exactly on the 8th day issue with motherboard and I really got negative response from the customer service coz they mentioned there will be replacement only for 7 days and CS ppl had informed me all these details have been mentioned in manual. I never seen any user manual in the mobile box when I purchased. moreover service Centre is in Bangalore it took 22 days to get back my mobile. I normally use BT for calls, mobile had issue again with motherboard on November 12th and they have mentioned waterlog might be mobile so I need to pay for the service after I explained and issue not from my end they agreed and did free service again they've replaced motherboard and got back by Dec 12th I don't say mobile works fine I'm still facing an issues like lock screen, apps auto open up etc. Otherwise its a good phone. I don't mention you guys to go for this model since no rules and regulations have been mentioned and kinda weird and worst customer service response you'll get.

                                I have had this phone for a week now, it replaced my iphone4 which lasted 2yrs. I love how light and thin it is, you can hardly notice it in your pocket. I tried to play GTA SA but it was extremely laggy so had to uninstall it. The phone is good for casual use and cheap enough to not be too bothered about it's lackings. I will probably buy something more powerful and give this to my kid sister lol.
