Gionee Pioneer P4 gets Android v4.4 KitKat in India


Gionee’s budget Pioneer P4 just got an Android v4.4 KitKat update from the Chinese maker, for the Indian market.

The Pioneer P4 is a solid budget smartphone, now made better with the availability of Android v4.4 KitKat. Gionee has been active in providing software updates for its phones, which is a good sign. The Pioneer P4 is one among many other Gionee phones to feature a MediaTek chipset.

It comes with the quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6582V, and with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of expandable storage, makes for a serious Moto G killer. The Pioneer P4 goes for 9,199 INR or $150, a price range that’s now being threatened by 2GB RAM phones like the ASUS Zenfone 5.
