The Gionee M2017 actually has two 3,500mAh batteries inside, giving the smartphone a total battery size of 7,000mAh. Gionee claims this will give the phone up to nearly 26 hours of continuous video playback. The 5.7-inch phone has a display resolution of 2560 x 1440, and inside sports 6GB of RAM, an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 processor and runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box.

The Gionee M2017 also has dual rear camera lenses, with one with a 12MP sensor and the other with 13MP. It also has an 8MP front-facing camera and a fingerprint sensor. Two features this phone does not have are a microSD card slot or a 3.5mm headphone jack, but it does include a cool looking leather back panel.

There will be two versions of the Gionee M2017 sold in China. One has 128GB of on-board storage for Yuan 6999 (about $1,007) while the version with 256GB of storage is priced at Yuan 6,999 (about $2,446). Obviously, with those kinds of prices, this phone is being made for a very select crowd of consumers. There’s no word on when or if the Gionee M2017 will be released outside of China.

No headphone jack, no SD card port, Snapdragon 653 and selling for $1000? This phone is going to fail hard.

I think the price is high because of the battery power

Smh Gionee.

still need power bank?
No need wasting money on this specs.

I don't think so, I think it's supposed to be for the storage, because the 256gb version the exact same battery capacity and everything else is more than twice the price, but the extra 128gb isn't worth $1440 anywhere.

yes we need phones long and good lasting batteries...

but we don't need a phone that would weigh a tonne in our pokets or phones we can't comfortably hold for long while on call.

all thesr defeats the idea of a mobile smartphone.

and gionee forgot that only a few brands(actually top brands) can pull crowd while selling a phone $1+.


they might be heading to the abyss in the smartphone world.. to bad

The specs on the phones are crazy and a lot of Chinese techies will snap this up.
