Gionee is releasing a new member of its S-series after about three years with the new Gionee S12 Lite.
The Gionee S12 Lite, as the name suggests, is an entry-level smartphone. This very familiar-looking smartphone is powered by a MediaTek Helio A25 octa-core processor, with 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of expandable storage.

There’s a 6.52-inch HD+ IPS screen on the front, with a waterdrop notch on top for the 8-megapixel selfie camera. While on the back, we have the 13-megapixel main camera, 5-megapixel ultra-wide, 2-megapixel depth sensor, LED flash, and the fingerprint scanner in the middle.
It runs on what seems to be a clean version of Android 10, no extra interface on top. Keeping the lights on is a 4,000mAh battery, which you’d be charging via the microUSB port.
