Features and specs of Gionee M2017
In term of design, the Gionee M2017 has a dimension of 155.2 mm * 77.6 mm * 10.78 mm, the large thickness is no surprise since the device has a battery size of 7000mAh. In fact one would expect it to be thicker than this considering the huge battery.
There is 5.7-inch Amoled display that has 2560 * 1440p resolution the same resolution on most flagships like the Samsung S7, LGv20 etc. The device runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with an upgrade to Android 7.0 Nougat expected to hit the operating system as soon as possible. However we expect Gionee to chip this device out of the box with Android 7.0 Nougat. We wrote earlier on that Gionee might opt for a processor away from Mediatek and our guess was quite right as the Gionee M2017 has Qualcomm 653 chipset, an octa-core processor running at a speed of up to 1.95GHz. The RAM inside is 6GB for flexible multitasking along with massive 128GB of storage (expandable to 256GB via a MicroSD card)Full details and price here
