You forgot to mention that the 16GB comes with 2GB RAM while the 32GB one comes with 3GB RAM.

Also looks like a great phone for the specs and the price but being a chinese brand it will have a hard time competing againsts the likes of N5,G2,Z1 etc

The question that comes in context with such expensive device is its after sales. 30k for a non established brand here is kind of difficult to buy.
The phone no doubt is innovative.

^But none with a Krait 400 processor @2.5Ghz..

Gionee has done something that could prove fatal to local companies like MMX, Karbonn etc..

Snapdragon 800 is very expensive SOC, I wonder how much their profit margin is..

yep, i agree that. the chipset is very powerful. what i intended to say is that these chinese companies will start shipping 25k+ phones with a lower end/underpowered chipset. it is what going to happen likely.
