The Gionee Max entry-level Smartphone comes with a dual-camera setup, 6.1″ HD+ display, Android 10 OS, 5000mAh battery, and it is powered by a Spreadtrum’s SC9863A SoC with 2GB RAM.
Gionee made the Max official as a budgeted Smartphone in India. The company announced the phone in the country, after a long time, about a year of their last release.
In order to make the phone affordable, Gionee skips out on some handful of specifications and features. For instance, you will be missing out on a fingerprint sensor scanner.
However, if you still want a biometric sensor, the company implemented the Face Unlock for password-less unlocking. Yea, there are other traditional unlocking features, such as Pin, Password, and Pattern.
