Gionee Max

Gionee Max seems to be an entry-level smartphone device that comes powered by a basic, entry-level chipset. The smartphone company is yet to reveal the actual processor they have used on this handset and only maintains that it is a 1.6GHz octa-core processor. The handset comes with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, and by the out-looks of it, it is offered in this single variant. You do get the option to expand the storage capacity further using MicroSD cards. As expected, the device is a dual SIM handset with support for 4G VoLTE networks

Gionee Max Price in India

Gionee Max price in India starts from ₹5,999. In India, it is available at the lowest price on Flipkart as on Aug 31, 2020. This is a complete entry-level package targeting the audience which is new to the smartphone world. 

Not so elegant or trendy by the design, Gionee Max fits right in hand because of the compact size. The 6.1-inch tall display with a waterdrop notch on the front gives it a decent look. Gionee Max sports a 2.5D curved glass which is durable and a dual rear camera on the rear. There is no fingerprint scanner but you get the more secure Face Unlock feature on this device. You also get a triple card slot here with support for 2 Nano-SIM cards and a microSD card, with the most-favourite 3.5mm headphone jack.

Gionee Max is available in three vibrant colours – Black, Blue and Red.

Gionee Max sports a 6.1-inch color IPS LCD fullview display with a dewdrop-type notch which has become quite common these days. This LCD panel has an HD+ resolution (720x1560px) with a pixel density of 281PPI. Depending on the display configuration, the device is expected to produce slightly fuzzy texts with the given PPI. On this display, you can hardly see any thick bezels because Gionee has tried to give an overall immersive experience with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. This is a fair display size to treat your eyes being not so tall but right in size.

Gionee Max is powered by a 1.6GHz octa-core processor. For the multi-tasks and background activities of the device, it is provided by 2GB of RAM. It’s RAM capacity looks poor based on the configuration, but considering the phone with the price tag it offers is reasonable. This is backed by a 32GB of internal storage which again feels less even though it is expandable to 256GB. User-friendly sensors including Accelerometer, Proximity, and Compass are also available.

Gionee Max runs on the Android 10 operation system which is pretty decent when it comes to the user interface.

Gionee Max has a dual-rear camera set up with a LED-flash for capturing videos and images. The primary camera, which is 13MP, is followed by a Digital camera. On the front selfie camera side, the notch houses a 5MP camera for assisting with video calls and other counterparts. As far as the recording process is concerned, you may capture FHD 1080p videos @30fps using the rear camera.

Gionee Max is backed by a big 5,000mAh battery backup. This is the most highlighted feature of this budget smartphone with a big battery. It is a little disappointing to see the absence of faster forms of fast charging but something is better than nothing. What’s more thrilling to see is the reverse wireless charging feature on the Gionee Max.

Since Gionee Max is an entry-level device, it is priced under Rs.6,000 in the Indian market. Considering this price tag, it’s interesting to see such a smartphone with a 5,000mAh battery. In conclusion, this is a device that will smoothly glide through everyday use.
