- The Gionee F205 Pro takes on the popular Xiaomi Redmi 6A in India
- It lacks the essential Dual 4G functionality
Gionee is back again with a new smartphone. Once a key player in the smartphone industry, Gionee has launched a new device called the Gionee F205 Pro in India on Tuesday. Gionee suffered bankruptcy and now with the new launch looks like the smartphone manufacturing company may be coming back to the country. The Chinese smartphone company has launched the Gionee F205 Pro for an affordable price of Rs 6,990 and has informed that the interested buyers will be able to purchase the smartphone via Flipkart. Notably, Gionee is running various television commercials regarding its smartphones availability on Flipkart, so maybe it’s trying to get back into the game. Do make a note that the Gionee F205 Pro is an upgraded version of the Gionee F205 that was launched last year.
The Gionee F205 Pro is selling during the Flipkart Mobiles Bonanza sale which started on Tuesday, February 19 and will end on February 23. During the sale, Flipkart is selling the Gionee F205 Pro for a discounted price of Rs 5,890. The Gionee F205 Pro is also available under the 10% instant discount on Axis Bank credit and debit cards, which means, the customers will be able to buy the phone at a much lower price. In India, the Gionee F205 Pro is available in three colours — Black, Blue, and Champagne. Overall, the new Gionee F205 Pro looks like an upgraded version to the previously launched Gionee F205.
