Gionee M2017 with 7,000mAh battery, 6GB RAM and Dual rear camera launched in China

Gionee has launched the M2017 in China ahead of CES 2017. The phone features some impressive specs and an “elegant” and “symmetrical design”. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 along with 6GB RAM while drawing power from a massive 7,000 mAh battery. According to reports, the smartphone comes with two 3,500mAh batteries inside. This unusual decision was taken to reduce bulk.

The company will give you the option to take the 128GB option or the 256GB option as internal storage. Gionee is not giving the options without reason as this smartphone does not come with a microSD card for expansion of storage later. Gionee has also removed the 3.5mm headphone jack, following the decisions made by Apple to remove the same on the Apple iPhone 7.

The smartphone will weigh 238g. The dimensions are 155.2 x 77.6 x 10.78 mm. The M2017 will run Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 out of the box with Amigo 3.5 Skin on top. The fingerprint sensor will be in the front on this smartphone. Gionee has priced the smartphone at 6,999RM (around Rs 68,500) as reported by GSMArena. The high-end, 256GB internal storage model will come with a custom Italian alligator leather back for 16,999 RMB which works out to a whopping Rs 1,66,000! Note that these are not India prices and it’s not even known whether the phone will come to India or not.
