Gionee S8 - a narrow 5.5" phone has a full metal body

22 February, 2016
The 16MP camera is loaded with low-light shooting tech and you can run two WhatsApps, how cool is that?

You are a complete noob with no knowledge of mobile tech. Do you even know the level of technology used in galaxy s7. This phone is nothing in front of galaxy s7. Also g5 is way too far better than gionee s6.

    A lot of companies are targeting Samsung.
    I recently saw S6 being used from a variety of companies including Gionee, ZTE, etc...

    Its like they're saying, "our S6 is cheaper and better".
    And it might well be in some matters, I'm no disagreeing there, but they must try to be original.

    See the Nokia decade of 2000-10, it was an era of innovation! Whether naming or form factor, there was originality.

      The only problem of these companies is lie after true, they draw ur attension with someting new on their mobile but when t bought that perticular mobile u will find out 60% is a lie. E.g Gionee S Plus they say it possess 3GB Ram but almost all Gionee S PLUS in Nigeria hav 2GB Ram i dont know how they took africans.That is why all gionee fans turn to Infinix.

        Thanks and keep it up.

                  If i had to choose between the Samsung S7 and this phone from Gionee, would i choose without hesitation phone Gionee company.

                    I congratulate this company for their way, in the sense that, when produce,designers think a phone, not as firm Samsung with new series S7.
                    Simple, beautiful, useful, this phone. If the price will be one decent, then will compete with other phones of those companies who understand the needs of consumers, as well as LG Meizu, Xiaomi, etc.

                              S7 Edge
                              Elephone p9000

                              LeECO 1/1s/Pro

                              Even their own Gionee E7, which is now almost 3 years old is almost as narrow.

                              ~75mm for 5.5 incher is old news and kind of wide for 2016 standards...

                              Oh Marketing, do your homework better next time...

                                Anonymous, 22 Feb 2016Isn't the LG G3 already narrower at 74.6mm as per gsmarena ... moreAh. Looking back at the Gionee press materials, they only compare it to METAL phones with 5.5" screens. Anyway, it's a narrow phone, but "world's narrowest" was an overstatement, so I corrected the news.

                                        I will buy this phone only coz I can log into 2 Whatsapp accounts.
                                        But I will miss my iphone6s Plus.
                                        Never mind now I will have 3 Whatsapp accounts and 2 phones.

                                        Cheers!!
