It’s almost two years since we last saw a phone from Gigabyte. Perhaps to compensate for its absence, the company introduced not just one but four new smartphones: the Gigabyte Classic, Classic Lite, Gigabyte Essence, and Essence 4. These sub €100 ($110) phones all boast of being 3G-enabled dual-SIM devices. Don’t think these are just cheap phones because the specs and features are impressive for such price range.
