Gionee M2017 Price In Nigeria, China, India, Kenya, Ghana | Specifications

Gionee continues setting the pace when it comes to phone battery capacity as this Gionee M2017 packs two 3,500mAh batteries inside, making it a total battery size of 7,000mAh that will last up to 26 hours of non-stop video playback according to Gionee. Can you beat that?

Considering the big battery, it is no surprise that the device is quite big – especially in the thickness department. We are looking at 10.65 mm thickness here. That is some heft.

Well, battery is not even the only selling point of this monster smartphone, the 5.7-inch device has a display resolution of 2560 x 1440, and Interestingly, the phone features a huge 6GB of RAM, and powered by octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 processor.

Gionee M2017 runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. In terms of camera, it packs dual rear camera lenses - 12MP and 13MP respectively while at the front, it features an 8MP selfie shooter

Meanwhile, Gionee decided not to include a micro SD card slot as well as 3.5mm headphone jack on this phone although it comes with enough internal memory space and a nice leather back panel.

In terms of price, two versions of the Gionee M2017 are available ( in China for now). One has 128GB of internal storage and goes for Yuan 6999 (roughly $1,007) while the version with 256GB of internal storage is priced at Yuan 6,999 (roughly $2,446).

Believe me, the above prices shows the Gionee M2017 is a high end device and not even meant for many people as not everyone can afford it. Although the features justified the price. Below is the full specs of the Gionee M2017.
