Price and availability
The launch of Gionee S9 has been confirmed for November 15 in China. S9T, however, still remains in the dark as there is no official confirmation of it.It is possible that it might be launched under some other name. There is no word on the pricing of the two.
The presence of dual camera along with 13MP front camera makes it an excellent phone for photography lovers.
One thing that sounds weird is that both the phones have similar size and battery and yet the reports suggest that the weight of the two is worlds apart. So, we would like to recommend you to take the above information with a grain of salt and wait for the official launch. Stay tuned for more updates.
