At its winter launch event in Shenzhen, Chinese smartphone manufacturer Gionee looked to catch up with the latest trend in the smartphone industry by showcasing eight FullView smartphones across different product lines and price points. Gionee’s FullView smartphones, don’t quite sport the ‘all screen’ look seen in some rival smartphones, but they have a higher screen-to-body ratio compared to the company’s other devices. Out of the eight smartphones showcased at the event, one – the Gionee S11 – will head to India in the next couple of months, while another, the Gionee M7 Power, was launched in India earlier this month.

The first device unveiled at the event was the Gionee S11S, which comes with a 6.01-inch FullView full-HD+ (1080×2160 pixels) AMOLED display. The body of the Gionee S11S is made out of glass and metal, featuring a “shiny” finish with optical nano coating and a “3D-curve” design that’s apparently inspired by cars. It packs a stainless steel frame and dual camera setups at the front and back – 16-megapixel+8-megapixel at the rear and 20-megapixel+8-megapixel at the front – with real time bokeh effect and Face Beauty 4.0 that’s capable of applying different effects based on skin colour and face shape. The front camera has a field-of-view of 105 degrees. The phone is capable of creating “3D photos” by stitching multiple images together. The selfie camera can be triggered via the fingerprint scanner at the back, which can also be mapped to trigger different apps.

The Gionee S11S, like other phones showcased at the event, runs Amigo 5.0, Gionee’s heavily customised flavour of Android. A new game mode will stop notifications from coming in when you are playing a game or watching a video. A new location-based service will push promotions to you when you walk into a restaurant or shop, and show you maps when you are at the airport, features that will be available only in China. All phones showcased at the event are dual-SIM devices with support for expandable storage and come with FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack, and a Micro-USB port.
