Gionee has launched a new budget smartphone in India. Gionee F8 Neo comes with an HD+ display, 8-megapixel rear camera, and a Unisoc chipset under the hood.

Gionee F8 Neo comes in only one variant which is priced at ₹5,499. The smartphone has three colour options of black, blue and red. Gionee has partnered with local retail network Udaan to sell its F8 Neo smartphone which will be available through two lakh retailers.

In terms of design, Gionee F8 Neo looks quite dated. There's no notched display on the budget Gionee phone. It has thick bezels on top and bottom, and the phone doesn't have a fingerprint sensor but it comes with face unlock. The smartphone features a 5.45-inch HD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The smartphone is powered by an octa-core Unisoc SC9863 processor. Gionee F8 Neo also supports expandable storage via a microSD card.
