Gionee is all set to launch the Gionee S9 and S9T smartphones soon. Earlier this week, the smartphones were spotted on the Chinese website TENAA, and on Thursday the Chinese smartphone maker announced a November 15 unveiling of the Gionee S9 and S9T smartphones. The Gionee S9 and S9T have been rumored for a while now and one of the key features of both the devices is the dual rear camera setup. The phones are expected to pack 13-megapixel and 5-megapixel rear camera sensors, a major change with compared to the Gionee S8, which featured a single 16-megapixel camera sensor. Leaked images of the Gionee S9 show the rear cameras vertically placed in the middle, just below the top antenna line, while Gionee's logo is placed just below the rear camera.
As we know that the Gionee S8 also featured a pressure sensitive touch technology, similar to the 3D Touch feature on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7. It is still unknown whether Gionee will bring the feature to its upcoming smartphones. The Gionee S9 and S9T are expected to be offered in silver, gold and black color options. We'll know more on pricing, specifications, and availability once the devices are unveiled on November 15.
