Nice phone but manufacturers should please stop churning out gold plated phones...

That's one stuff I can never spend money on; I'm sure most folks equally hate gold coloured phones.

some goats in nigeria will still buy this, i know

Nice replacement for my s-plus, but the battery should've been 4000mah.

So if they don't buy it, what phone should they use instead? Buhari's made in Daura phone abi?

Keneking:

Nor be only Nigeria, na Daura. Who told you Nigerians manufacture phones?

Gionee is a product of Shenzhen, China.

I am sure the 4gb ram or even 3gb ram version wont be available in Nigeria.

"It packs a 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display with pressure sensitive 3D touch that can sense 3 levels of force including touch, tap and press" Wow! That's what we called innovation. Waiting for tekino to come up with similar thing
