Design and Display
The Gionee P8 Max is not the most elegant we have seen, but it is not bad either. It has a slight touch of a high-end device, especially with the screen light off. We have to say it is rather thick, though, at 9.2 millimetres.
Gionee P8 Max offers generous screen estate with an IPS LCD unit measuring 5.5 inches diagonally. The capacitive touchscreen has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This supposedly features protection by Corning Gorilla Glass of an unnamed version.
Camera
On the camera front, the Gionee P8 Max does not really disappoint, at least on paper. There is a 13 megapixel rear camera with an aperture size of f/2.2. Its features include autofocus, HDR, LED flash and face detection.
It can capture potentially high quality 1080p Full HD videos. The 8 megapixel selfie shooter looks ready to serve some great quality self-shots as well.
Hardware and Software
Under the hood, there is a quad-core MediaTek MT6737T chipset with Cortex A53 cores. The CPU speed maxes at 1.5 GHz. This doesn’t promise the most powerful performance. But the provision of respectable 3 GB of RAM should boost responsiveness and performance.
The onboard storage is generous at 32 GB, but you won’t be able to expand this. The Gionee P8 Max boots Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, with its Chinese maker’s Amigo 3.2 skin laid on top.
Other Specs and Features
A non-removable Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 3,150 mAh promises sufficiently long runtime, especially considering the somewhat low-res display. The dual-SIM device offers ultra-fast LTE connectivity for speedy mobile downloads.
There is Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct and hotspot. The Gionee P8 Max also offers Bluetooth (version 4.0) among its connectivity options. For location needs, you also get GPS with Assisted GPS.
Pricing and Availability
Gionee P8 Max is not available in Nigeria. You can buy the smartphone at leading online stores in the country. Gionee P8 Max Price in Nigeria is expected to range from 75,000 Naira to 110,000 Naira, depending on your location in the country.
