Design and Display
The Gionee F5 doesn’t look shabby for its mid-range pricing. It parades a sleek, unibody design with the chassis made of metal. The phone is thinner than the Gionee A1 at just 7.7 millimetres in thickness.
However, the Gionee F5 features a slightly smaller 5.3-inch display with an HD resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. The phone should deliver decent wide-viewing angles considering its IPS LCD display technology. It is given a curvy feel by 2.5D glass overlaid on the touchscreen.
Camera and Storage
The Gionee F5 comes with a combo of 13-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front-facing camera. The primary camera features LED flash, touch focus, autofocus, face detection and HDR. You can use the phone to shoot high quality Full HD (1080p) videos at 30 frames per second.

Some buyers may be disappointed to find the Gionee F5 still runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. The software has Gionee’s Amigo user interface on top.
