G-Five now enters the low cost android market to compete with other brands like Micromax, Karbonn and Spice. G-Five have launched A79, A86, I88+, G95 and G3D android smartphones with affordable pricing.
It is good news for Indian consumers; they can now afford an android phone with high end features. While most of you are already waiting for the Karbonn A24 or the Micromax A90, here is another brand called the G-Five which has recently launched 5 new models with specifications almost similar to the other brands.
G-Five A79
This is an entry level phone with a price tag of Rs. 6,999. The G-Five A79 sports a 320×480 pixels resolution display of 4 inch size with a 5MP camera sailing on an 832MHz processor running Gingerbread or Android 2.3 OS. Sounds familiar to Karbonn A7, well yes but with a bigger screen (Karbonn A7 comes with 3.5 inch screen).
G-Five A86
A better model as compared with the A79. The G-Five A86 comes with a higher resolution of 480×800 pixels (4 inch capacitive touchscreen) with an 8 megapixel camera along with a front camera of VGA resolution. A 1GHz processor powers this handset running Android 2.3 on a massive 2800 mAh battery. This model will be priced at Rs. 7,999.
G-Five I88+
This one too comes with a 480×800 pixels resolution – capacitive touchscreen but with a 4.3 inch screen size. A 1GHz processor powers this handset with 512MB RAM (DDR3) and a 4GB of internal storage. The G-Five I88+ runs on the ICS (Android 4.0 OS). The price is Rs. 8,899 a good competitor to the Spice Mi-425 or the Karbonn A9.
G-Five G95
This model sports a 5.3 inch screen perfectly fits into the Phablet category. However even with a bigger screen the display resolution is still WVGA (480×800 pixels), which is kinda disappointing. This handset too runs on ICS (Android 4.0) Os and rest of the features are similar to G-Five I88+. G95 is priced at Rs. 9,499 and proudly claims to be the cheapest android handset with a 5.3 inch screen.
G-Five G3D
As the name suggest this handset supports 3D that too without a need of any 3D glasses. The specifications are the same as on the I88+ except, the G3D comes with 4.3 inch qHD resolution (960×540 pixels) with HDMI port. This android handset runs on ICS and powered by 1GHz processor. The G-Give G3D price in India is Rs. 11,799.
Though the features are impressive the G-Five is a less known and a less bought brand as compared with Micromax, Spice and Karbonn. Only time will tell if users will be giving more preferences to the brand or the features.
Hi gogi, excellent reviews, what about current value of companies? like MM and karbonn, which one should i buy my range is 10k to 12k rupees, which one do u say is the best available, G3D pricing around 12 is it available? i was loving to take MM A110 but my friend got problem its touch completely went , it was just 5th day he bought so it was replaced by shop keeper being a good man, please advise me which you think is very good, not only in paper spec but in use also, because all the phones i see are same in specs
Hi, I want to buy gfive android version can say me the actual price ofA79, A86,I88 , G95, G3D, not announced price.
Dear gogi, I used gfive g95 for 10 minutes but I was disappointed with screen resolution, I didn’t get enough time to use it, can you do a review on it? its an awesome phablet under 10k.
Today I got hands on gfive a79, a68 and a56. Gfive a79 really disappointed me, 4inch screen but resolution was ok, internal memory for apps is too low, around 180 to 200mb. I was not able to use net so I don't know how it works while browsing, touch is responsive. But the phone comes in cheap plastic body and 3 back panel. Camera quality was not good, same as 2mp of nokia phone. On all websites it is shown that there is no secondary camera but it does have a front camera and also supports video call, that's good for video chat lovers. Handset comes with usb cable, multitouch was not as good as on samsung or other brand, my uncle is in gfive company and these smartphones will go on sale within few days.
I also used gfive g95, it is also call jumbo, awesome mobile, screen resolution would have been much better, it comes with metallic body and really responsive and crispy display, camera is really nice but not comparable to galaxy s2, and all these smartphones comes with 4gb sd card.
I want to know the availability of gfive a86 in Indian market, Thanks.

@varun,sir did you see these gfive android mobiles in showroom or poster? thnx.
One of my friend also said I remember now that gfive service center is available in mumbai Goregaon, miraroad so guys let me totally take out this information about this phone.
I will only post in gogi's site because I like this site.
hi gogi I was browsing and saw this page and I want to say something about gfive that my one friend has one gfive phone not android a normal (cdma type) gsm phone and he told me that phone is Chinese and sound is loud on speaker and he said he has been using it for the last 1 year phone is good but however haven't used gfive touchscreen and you are right there are no nearby service center so cant trust but in ( andheri Irla road ) there is one mall they are doing service and selling these china phones so I will go and check g95 and let you all know whether they are providing warranty or not or how is the handset.
Thanks a lot Punit.
Please tell if there are any dealers of Gfive in India. Would buying Gfive phones online be good?
Please tell the pros and cons of buying Gfive phones.
Hi, where can I buy these phones?
Could you provide the Online shopping links to buy these phones?
Hi again gogi, another piece of news is that g five g95 is a rebranded STAR Galaxy Note – 5.3 Inch Screen 1GHz MT6575 Chip Android Phone including the same resolution and process which is mediataek 6575. . is the link to the handset. As suspected it seems that these companies are just ripping off from phones from Chinese sites and selling them in india for a cool margin. I don't mind if the quality is good, but honestly I find this trend of just buying Chinese fones and rebranding them as your own is creating a dangerous trend whereby all junk chinese phones might find their way to India. What's your take. For now I guess karbonn and micromax take the cake and we should trust their products instead of every tom dick and harry launching fones at whatever prices they deem fit. Don't you think so?
Pawandeep, yes agree even Micromax, Karbonn, Spice does the same but they have a firm base and good reputation and they can provide good after sales service which is important. The same cannot be said about G-Five, they still need to prove their worth.
Hey,
Is Gfive brand good like, spice, karbonn, micromax?
OR is is a china phone (which are poor in quality)?
I cannot find the store addresses on Internet to buy it…(My current location is Mumbai/Pune)
Anant, this is a Chinese company, I would want to stay away from this. Other brands are Indian though they will use the same hardware. But G-Five is not a well known company it will take some time before they come to the levels of Spice, MM etc, also they are not very much active as other low cost brands. but I will not take the risk yet.
Oh!
But the specifications of the phones seem great compare to our indian phones… and some Websites are also ranked this company on no. 3 especially in Indian market. Do you think, they are true?
Have you used any Gfive mobile before?
I have not used a G-Five phone before, but it's not a popular brand they have very few models. Micromax, Spice, Karbonn these are there in the market we see them in ads and hear about them G-Five is not that popular then how can they me Number 3? Samsung and Nokia are the top 2 and next to it is Micromax which is the most bought brand but soon get replaced by Karbonn.
I may try the G-Five brand if I find that they have a service center nearby to my location.
Well said, I would also try it if I find its service centers. Sometimes NDTV cellguru also review Gfive phones.
I have use G-FIVE's projector phone one and half year ago and even review on ndtv cellguru and rated 3 / 5 .
Okey!
Then, How you experienced it. Is Gfive makes good phones?
And, what about the service (service centers)?
hi gogi,
please provide the website link for these mobile phones.and does G-five g95 is better than karbonn a24.
Hi full specs are not yet available and the G-Five website has not yet been updated.
