The smartphone is made of metal body which confers a sturdy and premium feel to it. Edges are smooth due to 2.5D curve design which works like a charm to the style.

The biggest obstacle company face is to maintain the weight even after having a whopping battery inside. And Gionee tried pretty hard to keep a composure between design and specs so people don’t find it bulky. Scaled at 208g the smartphone is lighter than its predecessor and measured at 160.9 x 81.2 x 8.4 mm it is pretty much thin also.

Bottom bezel features non-backlit capacitive navigation buttons and fingerprint sensor cum home button, which came as a new addition from the company. Impressive!
