  • I am not able to find out whether GIONEE E5 model is 4G enabled. Please update me.

  • Pls I need help. My gionee E5 is acting up, it's always overheating and when it does and Iput it off it refuses coming up for a while. But recently it did the same thing and nowfor days it rrefusescoming up. Please what can do to make it power again. I need aanswerspls

  • Charging slot is too thin and the slot is very loose incase of charging

  • Super cool phone... but hard to fix.

  • why are you not repairing your phone is there any problem

  • i like this phone. no lagg . good battery life. good cameras too. it's kinda glossy for my taste but it's ok

  • this the coolest phone ever. very slim, super amoled display, super selfie camera, it's like 441 ppi ips , super amoled is the best. nice phone

  • same here....m confused right now....i dont knw if yhu have gotten a solution...m trying to charge it now...nothing is showing...i was thinking is the charging port, on getting to my engineer,he told me d charging port is working perfectly...

  • I get it, you probably work for mother company. To make it simple, I've tested several these phones as a customer and they are simply unreliable, a real piece of crapp. They brake pretty quick and cannot be fixed (e.g. buttons, plugs, screens, motherboards, firmware, you name it). If you are such an expert on "phones" try aswering one simple question. Why is this company selling their products under so many pseudonyme brands? Google it. They simply cannot build a brand based on these worthless phones.

  • if you paid 38k for your phone in Ph. then you really DO have a problem. I bought mine there for only 12,500 pesos. You better go back to the place you bought it, because you forgot to pick up your change.

  • well, and what cellphone company do you work for? Obviously it is one that is losing sales because of this Gionee s5.1. You have zero knowledge of what you are saying and are just hating in general. I'd be willing to bet that you have never used or even held one of these. I'd also be willing to bet that you are just a troll that post this same exact comment on many cellphone sites.

  • Stupid Phone!! battery was crashing automatically. 100% to 15% in 5 minutes. don't know why. now new problem has occurred. I am charging it from last 12 hour continuously and still the battery is charged only up to 35%. STRANGE. This phone only worked well for 8 months. dats it!! After this the problem started one by one. currently, this is the 13th month of my phone and condition is going worst day by day. I will never buy this brand again. Only Front camera is good. but rear is very bad. doesn't click like 8MP.

  • Gionee, Allview, Blu, Walton, Himax are all very cheap, low quality phones build by the same company in China and sold all over the world as "premium". Once you buy one you soon find out you were ripped off since they are a piece of garbage. Furthermore, they don't provide a proper customer service. And even if you get some kind of service or even a replacement phone don't get your hopes up. Even the replacement phone will be a piece of garbage, because they don't make any improvements to their products what so ever. So be wise and get you self a phone built by a proper phone manufacturer.

  • Please I want upgrade Software is to lollipop 5.0

  • Sound is superbbbbbbbbb But camera is really poor

  • I bought a heater which I can't put on even on my ears instead of buying a phone. Bull shit for my hard core money. Nobody should buy this phone which always finished battery in 1 hour.

  • i would not advice anyone to buy it. my phone is less than 3months when it started acting up. low battery always.. charging point having issue and now it refuses to on. The annoying thing is no service center her in ph. so i have to thrash it. my 38k is wasted .

  • how can i update android for gionee e5? because there is no update from gionee... plz reply

  • How to up grade latest varshion

  • Dear All, Please don't buy Gionee mobile as it is best looking phone but performance is worst. Battery consumption is too much + EAR PHONE TEMPERATURE RISES VERY SOON AND IT IS UNBEARABLE. Plus if any problem is there in handset then service centre says deposit the phone for 1 week to 10 days to rectify. Can anybody afford it ?

  • Hopeless. Useless Battery. Automatic Crash. Hanging till Death of all running Applications. This company should be banned in India.

  • i too face the same probe,. I purchased 6 months back, battery backup is very poor.. Phone is not getting charged. Now it is dead...waste of hard earned money..for this cost, this phone is a waste buy

  • Have u experienced when ur phone can't turn on..I need help because mine won't turn on please!!

Anyway, i dont expect a return of my money. I expect a lots of friends i will convience not to buy ds very. Very gud indian brand.

  • what is best custom rom for this device

  • My gioone E5 mobile display is Brocken what is price new display

  • I bought the "amazing" phone 3 weeks back and it has started to show its true nature... it goes blank and i had to retart to get the phone functioned. None of the pics are getting saved on either system memory or SD Card.. starting to get disappointed.. as far sound and heat issues goes, its ok, no issues with it... think twice or thrice before purchase it.. tnx.

  • hai bro all of the people's using that mobile saying super

  • battery backup is very poor

  • It's quite gud phone it gives nice graphics gud video quality its quite gud phone for those who plays a lots of game it support very well no lacking i face til now... Enough battery backup for me...

  • Well I am using the same phone from last 6 months and its working very good. Display quality is very awesome because of HD. AMOLED screen gives very nice display. And camera is also very awesome with and without flash both. 1 GB RAM with 1.5 GHz processor, 16GB inbuilt memory, 8MP rear and 5MP front camera. Geo tagging, 3G every features are available. I dont think its a waste of money. Gionee is giving very good feature in a reasonable price. Just being a company of China, doesn't mean that it will be like old China phone.

  • hey bro according to your comment let me now a single phone which not heat up even the i phone is all heat badly

  • friends iam using gionee e5 from 8 months but suddenly yesterday the battery percentage was 18 percentage it has been shutdowned and after when i kept it for charging it was upto 45 percentage then when i have tryed to turn on mobile it is giving gionee smartphone thats it it is not turning on it is hanging. please if any one of u faced the same problem please tell me how to solve it nor i will go to gionee smartphone care

  • Before purchase of any 10-20000 rupee smartphone just watch XOLO PLAY 8X 1100, XOLO PLAY 8X-1200 XOLO PLAY8X-1000.LAVA IRIS PRO 3O+ Screen protection and camera and is the most important feature in any smartphone.looks are secondary metter.

  • I think we should not waste our money on Gionee Mobiles they got heated like China mood as they deal with India on Border Problem. Choose Another brand instead of Gionee. I purchased Gionee Elife 5 two days ago and result is that it shutdown automatically and display screen make white

  • Gionee is the original manufacturer. It has been existing before blu. Just now the company has been added to Gsmarena. So bro you have mistaken it to be a copy of vivo 4.8. It is the vice versa. Don't blame companies without knowing the fact.

  • Bro , kindly wanna infrom you that, BLU vivo 4.8 is the copy of Gionee E5 . :)

  • this is a copy of the BLU Vivo 4.8, why you guys have no inspiration to make your own design? And please don't come with your BS that you announced it before BLU BLU is present in GSM Arena for more than 4 years, and suddently you just came from no where.
