1. Design and display
Let’s start with, perhaps, the most essential Gionee S11 Lite and Infinix S3 features – their design and display characteristics.
1. Gionee S11 Lite
The Gionee S11 Lite is a phone that simply screams sophistication – the brand decided to upgrade their usual phone design by introducing a fully metal body that is available in three popular colours. The S11 comes with a 5.7-inch display and is less than 8mm thick.
2. Infinix S3
The first thing any Infinix S3 review points out is the fully plastic body of the device – even though the plastic is of decent quality, the metal finish of the Gionee S11 Lite is clearly more attractive. The S3 has a 5.65-inch display and comes in several colour options.
2. Performance
To find out what both phones have to offer in terms of performance, check out the Infinix S3 and Gionee S11 Lite specs.

The Infinix S3’s specs are nearly as impressive, but still fall behind slightly. The Octa-core 1.4GHz processor is paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of memory can be upgraded via microSD to 128GB. However, the latest version of the OS, Android 8.0, is a nice touch.
3. Camera and battery
Since most smartphone buyers especially care about the battery and camera specs, let’s see what the two devices have in store.
1. Gionee S11 Lite
The Gionee S11 Lite comes with a revolutionary dual primary camera that consists of 13MP and 2MP cameras with LED flash. The secondary camera is no less remarkable with its 16MP. There is a 3030mAh battery that is just average for this price range and class of smartphones.
2. Infinix S3
The camera and battery specs are the one instance where the Infinix S3 wins. Both the 13MP primary camera and the 20MP secondary camera are equipped with dual LED flash. The battery is also more impressive with its 4000mAh capacity.
