The smartphone as been priced at Rs. 12,999 and will be available across all retail stores in the country from Thursday, September 21 in Black and Gold colours.
The Gionee X1s gets similar launch offers as the X1. Airtel customers buying the smartphone can get up to 10GB additional data per month for up to 6 successive recharges of 1GB or more. Separately, buyers will get two Patym cashback voucher codes entitling them to Rs. 250 cashback on a minimum purchase of Rs. 350 on Paytm Mall.
Apart from a new rear speaker grille on the bottom side, the X1s looks identical to the X1. It sports a slightly larger 5.2-inch HD IPS display compared to its predecessor, and is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6737T processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. It will be offered with just 16GB of internal storage with room for expandability via microSD card (up to 256GB). The smartphone runs on Amigo 4.0 based on Android 7.0 Nougat.
