Actually, when the phones are used with one SIM card they give maximum battery life compared to using two cards. This is because network search takes a lot of battery. Moreover, staying connected to a network takes more battery. If signals are weaker the draw is even more. This is the reason why the same model can have a different screen on time and battery performance in different regions. For the price being, the Gionee F103 price in Nepal is Rs 14,999.
Conclusion and Analysis
These are very different phones but there are some common grounds. Both phones have quad-core processors which are good but they are different models. That is why they have different performances and provide a different experience. The Gionee F103 is an expensive phone compared to the Gionee Pioneer P3S. However, the expensive model has a better screen, a better camera, and more memory. So in a sense, there are benefits of paying more to get a better phone.
