Gionee M2017 with 7,000 mAh battery becomes official on December 26

Last month the Gionee M2017 received its TENAA certification, a process which thankfully gave us a lot of information about this upcoming smartphone, including most of its specs. Then last week the Chinese company outed its first teaser image for the M2017, and today we get the second one.

While the image itself is almost identical to the earlier one, there is one all-important detail revealed this time around: the date of the official unveiling. The Gionee M2017 will be announced on December 26 at a special event.

The phone has a distinctive design, to say the least. It comes with a 5.7-inch QHD touchscreen, a 12 MP + 13 MP dual rear camera setup, an 8 MP selfie snapper, a 1.96 GHz octa-core processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and an insane 7,000 mAh battery. That does take a toll on the handset's weight, however, as it comes in at 230g. As you'd expect, given such a beefy battery the M2017 is also quite thick - the dimensions are 155.2 × 77.6 × 10.65 mm. The device runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and has a fingerprint sensor on the front.

So far nothing regarding its price or availability has been leaked or rumored, so those details are still a mystery.
