Smartphone maker Gionee, on Monday launched its latest device S6s, priced at ₹17,999, which is 4G and VoLTE. The handset will be available at multi-retail outlets and also Amazon, Gionee’s official online partner for S6s.

The new smartphone is Gionee’s first front flash smartphone in India, equipped with 8MP front camera with Selfie Flash (High CRI), a screen that lights up to brighten pictures regardless of the light conditions and finger print sensor, to capture the best selfie moments, in a fast and convenient manner, the company said.

“Earlier this year, we announced our mission to ‘Make Smiles’, by launching products that are intuitive, future ready, stylish and high on performance. The S6s delivers on each of these parameters and will change the way India clicks selfies,” Arvind R.Vohra, Managing Director and Country Chief Executive Officer, Gionee India, said.

He said the company has an ambitious three-fold target this year, and the flagship S6s will go a long way in helping us achieve those figures.

Developed under the 'making slim & shine to perfection' product development philosophy, the S6s focuses on performance and user experience, encased in an ultra slim and stylish design, he said.

The pixel size of the front camera sensor is 1.4μm which can catch more light in the low-light conditions and make the picture much brighter. It is backed by a 13MP rear camera with Sony IMX258 sensor, the company said.

The Gionee S6s has a solid and gentle 2.5D water-drop ‘corning Gorilla glass’ with native damage resistance. With 5.5-inch screen display, the S6s is power packed with a 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM and expandable memory up to 128 GB.

It comes with operating system of Amigo 3.2 and Android Marshmallow 6.0 and has a 3150 mAh battery.
