The Gionee S6 Pro’s body is made up of 90% metal; it is made from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy metal which has undergone various processes such as CNC diamond cutting, anodising, fine sandblasting, nano-injection molding and other complex processes.
On the inside, it packs a 64-bit Mediatek Hello P10 (MT6755) octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz with ARM Mali-T860 GPU, 4GB of RAM and 64GB built-in storage space. The device sports a 5.5-inch (1920 x 1080 pixels) Full HD IPS display and is backed by a 3130mAh Lithium Polymer battery.
In the imaging segment, the Gionee S6 Pro has a rear facing 13MP camera with f/2.0 aperture, PDAF and LED flash while the front camera is a 8MP snapper for selfies. It supports 4G+ with VoLTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and uses the USB Type-C port for transferring information and charging.
The Gionee S6 Pro has Hybrid Dual SIM slots (Nano + Micro) with the other SIM slot also acting as a microSD card for storage expansion up to 128GB and runs Amigo 3.2 OS (based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS). It also has a fingerprint sensor embedded into the home button (unlocks the device in 0.1 second) and is available from the company’s China website for a price tag of CNY 1999 (USD 304).
