GIONEE 5.5 REVIEW

   Gionee is trying hard to make a mark in the smartphone market crowded with various high level players. The company has launched several smartphones. One of these is the Gionee 5.5, the 'world's slimmest smartphone' that was launched in China on 18 March, and in India on 31 March. And can be found all around the world, the company claims the Gionee 5.5 is the 'best engineered product' they have as at the time of launch,
   The Gionee 5.5 with its Corning Gorilla Glass display and thin metal chassis looks and feels premium to hold. It also provides good tactile feedback on the power and volume keys both on the left panel. The left hand positioning of the power and volume buttons is good for one hand operation, but awkwardly Gionee decided to put the 3.5mm jack on the bottom, and the Micro-USB charging port on the top to facilitate usage during charging.
    The front and back glass covering is similar to what we have seen on the Nexus 4, but in an extra slim body at 5.5mm and a thin aluminum metal chassis that holds everything beautifully. The 5.5 weighs 130 grams, which is little more than the iPhone 5 at 112 grams. The right-side panel of the 5.5 features the rubber-covered SIM-card slot close  to the top. Overall, with our first impressions of the 5.5, we were left impressed by its build quality and design as well as handling
