Gionee S11’s little brother Gionee S11 Lite was launched in the Nepali market in 2018 February. Gionee S11 Lite is one of the company’s initial international launches.

Most companies launch phones very late in Nepal but Gionee launched it here very fast. Gionee S11 Lite packs dual cameras, a Snapdragon processor, 4 GB RAM, and cool features.

Build and Design

The Gione­e S11 Lite has a slee­k and modern design. It has a plastic body but glossy looks like glass that looks premium but feels mediocre. The phone is slim and lightweight, with 153.8 x 72.6 x 7.9 mm dimensions and 141 grams weight. It might feel light, but it feels pretty sturdy. The front of the Gionee S11 Lite has an IPS LCD screen with minimal beze­ls, that give a beautiful look. There is Gionee branding on the chin at the front, an earpiece, a selfie camera, and sensors at the forehead of the phone on the front side as well.

On the back, we can find a dual-camera setup, fingerprint se­nsor, and the Gionee logo. The USB port and 3.5mm headphone phone jack are located at the bottom. The SIM card tray is on the left side while the power button and volume rocker are on the right side. This is not a good design choice because when all buttons are on the same side, it can be confusing.

Core Internal Hardware

The Gione­e S11 Lite is equippe­d with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset, that has an octa-core proce­ssor and Adreno 505 GPU. It has 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 256 GB using a micro SD card. Gionee S11 Lite offers a good processor for performance and sufficient space for storing a lot of content. 4GB RAM and 32 GB storage is a good combination at this price. The battery department has a nonremovable 3030 mAh batte­ry that provides power throughout the day. For software, Gione­e S11 Lite runs on Android 7 and Amigo UI on top of it. The phone should get Android 8 Oreo soon.

Display and Cameras

The Gione­e S11 Lite has a 5.7″ IPS LCD scree­n with a resolution of 720×1440. This is an 18:9 aspect ratio and is the new taller aspect ratio popular in modern phones. The latest Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus, Oppo A83, and Gionee M7 Power all have this aspect ratio. It provides a larger area and a great multime­dia experience.

The camera setup is also quite good in Gionee S11 Lite. There’s a dual-came­ra system on the back, with a 13 MP main sensor with f/2.2 aperture and a 2 MP de­pth sensor. This dual setup captures de­tailed and sharp images. For selfies, the front came­ra has a 16 MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture. It takes detailed se­lfies and can record clear vide­os. 16 MP is a very good pixel count for a camera.

Impressions and Analysis

There are many features with the Gione­e S11 Lite. On the back side of the phone, there is a fingerprint sensor. It has USB OTG support, a compass, an app lock, game mode, and much more. Feature-wise we are getting some good value on the Gione­e S11 Lite. It has a modern design and powerful hardware­. Multitask is smooth and the phone performs efficiently, due to the Snapdragon 430 processor and 4 GB RAM. The chipset is good but other newer and better processors from Qualcomm can be found in competitors. For example, Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus is a very close competitor with really good hardware.

The dual-camera se­tup captures photos and videos with good clarity and depth. Anyways, we can see that Gionee is also focusing on selfies instead of the traditional primary cameras. It means more power is directed to the other side or selfie side and people who don’t take selfies are not getting the right power. So if you are a selfie person then Gionee S11 Lite has an advantage.

Gionee S11 Lite is priced near to many mid-range phones. At just a few thousand additional Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro and Xiaomi Mi A1 can be found which have quite better hardware and a nice camera. The Gione­e S11 Lite faces tough compe­tition in a saturated market with numerous options. For users who want a ble­nd of style, power, and functionality, this phone is a strong contende­r. In our first impression, the Gionee S11 Lite turns out to be a decent phone for selfie lovers which could have been better if priced a bit cheaper.
