In  Asian countries there area unit already several quad core smartphones from Indian smartphone firms, this one still has its own charm. Gionee is one in every of the leading telephone makers in China.

There area unit countless preloaded apps like Facebook, Twitter, NetQuin Antivirus, Clean Up, Compass, Notes etc at the side of regular Google apps. There are countless .apk files area unit given with to put in from along with your alternative.

Though the UI of Dream D1 could be a altered one, custom created, Gionee has preloaded associate app that helps to you to vary the theme, wallpapers, and effects.

Though over all the android expertise is nice, I notice Dream D1 is OTA (over the air) enabled, means that Gionee will inform you concerning code update and you don’t ought to visit Service Centers or connect it to pc to put in future code updates – simply direct install the updates. it's helpful feature, however with Gionee it’s typically irritating because it pushes some Chinese app transfer request. I downloaded the primary – it had been Baidu Browser. the matter is that the app put  in Chinese UI – thus I couldn't use it. Thus use caution, simply ignore them.

Display

Gionee Dream D1 has 4.65 inch. wonderful HD display with great ape glass two protection, up to 316ppi. it's full HD 1280x720p. The show is nicely back-lit and HD display is incredibly responsive.

Multimedia – Audio, Video and gaming

There is default music and video player within it, and supply good performance. however with jetAudio and vPlayer the perfomance is increased lots. Sound quality is nice, bundled earphones are smart in sound production yet its build quality is nice. FM radio and FM recording is additionally glorious quality.

Camera

The Dream D1 packs 8 megapixles rear camera with diode flash and a 2 megapixles front camera. The camera has countless choices together with face detection, HDR capture, one-touch front to rear & contrariwise conversion, some preloaded mode, panorama mode. The image quality is nice, however is higher. Low lightweight photography is below average. The flash is usually high with automobile mode, color production isn't thus smart.

Dream D1 has 2 SIM slots – one supports 3G/WCDMA/HSPA and different one supports solely 2G. SIM slots and microSD slot area unit well placed, and you don’t ought to take away battery to urge access to them. there's a bundled 16GB microSD card within it.

Dream D1 has all normal automaton property – Bluetooth, WLAN/WiFi, WLAN Hotspot, GPS – all worked swimmingly with none hiccup. Magnetic device is there.

Battery

It has a 2100mAh battery, that is non-removable by users. The battery keep a copy is kind of average. you wish to charge it everyday night as battery drains out with each day use of voice, text, data, music, video and gambling.

There is no mention of SAR, not even on their web site. but on a diary it says, 0.639 W/kg @ oneg (head) and 1.01 W/kg @ 1g (body).

Bottomline

Like different quad core smartphones from Indian brands, GiONEE Dream D1 delivers what it guarantees. However somehow priced at Rs 15000 over on-line stores and from to a small degree better-known whole within the country it's going to not be well-received. Well the actual fact is Dream D1 is one in every of the primary few handsets from Gionee in Asian countries. We tend to hope that Gionee can produce a whole presence within the country which can facilitate to seek out its own niche within the market.
