The main feature on the new Gionee S6s is the front-facing camera. Gionee claims that the phone can take superior selfies thanks to the 8MP front-facing camera, which has a 5P lens system. It is further aided by a front-facing flash, which is aimed at improving selfies taken in low-light conditions. The camera app incorporates Gionee’s new Beautify 2.0 feature which smoothens, whitens and slims your selfies according to your liking.
