Gionee K6 Highlights and Overview

The Gionee K6 is surprisingly the most powerful smartphone from Gionee after almost 3 years. The device is the bigger variant of the K3 launched earlier this year. But unlike the Helio P23 used in the K3, the Gionee K6 is powered by a more stronger MediaTek Helio P60 CPU. The CPU comprises of 4×2.0 GHz Cortex-A73 and  4×2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPUs, along with Mali-G72 MP3.

From the front, you are getting 6.2-inch HD+ display, featuring 720 x 1520 pixels resolution. The screen features a dewdrop notch which houses the 13 MP front facing camera, with full AI features.

At the back, the Gionee K6 comes with a triple camera set up, which includes a 16MP main sensor with f/1.8 aperture, a 5 MP ultra-wide angle lens which can capture photos up to 117° wide and a 2 MP depth sensor. You also have a large 128GB internal storage backed with 6/8GB of RAM.

You are also getting a rear placed fingerprint scanner as well as the USB Type-C. Sadly, the device is listed to run on the aged Android 7.1 (Nougat) of 2018. It has support for 4G VoLTE on dual Nano-SIM cards, and pack a 4350mAh battery. The full specifications and detailed features of the Gionee K6 is contained in the table below.
