Gionee M2017 is an upcoming smartphone which reportedly features two 3,500mAh batteries. Besides that, it consists of a number of impressive specs and features. But, when people figure out the expected price set for this Chinese company's flagship device, they are left startled for sure. The standard model is expected at a price range of almost a $1,000, while the top model is over $1500.

According to Gionee, the 7,000mAh battery juice offered in the device can offer 31.7 hours' worth of talk time, 915 hours' worth of standby mode, and almost 26 hours of video playback. Gionee M2017 also features Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 for charging the battery really fast. The ones who prefer battery life in their phones would love this concept brought up by the Chinese company. But, the company could not come up with a single 7,000mAh unit. So, they decided to add in two 3,500mAh ones.

Gionee M2017 Specs & Features:

Gionee's M2017 features a 5.7-inch quad-HD AMOLED display with 2560 x 1440 pixels. The device is powered by an Octa-core SOC chip featuring 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon supported by 6 GB of RAM. There are two variants of the device featuring one with 128 GB internal storage and the other at 256 GB internal capacity. Unfortunately, both devices do not offer microSD expandable slots.

The camera on the device features a dual-module on the rear side with 12 MP and 13 MP sensors. These come with LED flash, 4K video recording support, and 10x zoom. There is also an 8 MP front-facing shooter as well.

The Gionee M2017 also offers a fingerprint sensor encrypted on the home button at the bottom of the screen. Besides that, connectivity options consist of USB Type-C port, Bluetooth v4.0, 4G LTE support, and dual-SIM slots. Gionee M2017 also removes the 3.5 mm audio jack from its body. Software on the device is Amigo 3.5 custom Android Marshmallow OS UI.

Gionee M2017 Price:

Despite the not so impressive specs, the Gionee M2017 has been brought up at a price range starting at almost $1,000 with the top model being over $1,500. This could ruin the sales of the device once it comes out in the global market. Surely, the device cannot depend on such a high price just based on the battery power it possesses. Gionee M2017 release date is soon to come out for other countries. For now, it is available in China.
