Gionee has launched some rather pretty phones recently, so itās almost like theyāve created the Gionee M2017 to balance things out.
Gioneeās international presence is growing but they still have an eye on China and the markets there which explains why the Gionee M2017 has been spied at TENAA.
As anyone with eyes can see, the Gionee M2017 isnāt the best-looking phone on the market, in fact it looks rather over-designed, like one of those pricey Vertu devices, and thatās the effect they are after.
Gizchina News of the week
Chinaās wealthy will soon be in spending mode for the upcoming Chinese Spring Festival and theyāll be wanting devices like this to show off in front of their peers.
Specs confirmed by the TENAA listing include a 7000mAh battery, 5.7-inch display, 6GB RAM, 128GB internal memory, dual rear camera design, 8 megapixel front camera and Snapdragon 652 chipset. It also appears that the phone has a fingerprint scanner below the display too.
Weāre expecting the price of the M2017 is going to be high and also expect some pretty premium materials used in the build too including leather, alloy and maybe even some gold.
What do you think of the design? Ugly or are we being harsh?
Sorry gionee… Huge battery, dual camera, good soc, specs sheet makes me wet, but… I’d like to use the phone too, and with that look I would feel ashamed to take it out of my pocket, so… No go…
They are finally using Snapdragon, too bad ugly af and loaded with spyware.
You are beeing harsh.
If it was an elephone, the title would be “The most beautiful phone ever”

Its Ok and definitely not ugly. Oppo and Sony makes good looking phones
Woow, if it was over 6″ I would consider it
The front is actually not bad, but the back side needs to be covered up.
Actually it looks quite good. Not close to fugly. If they ditch the back silver panel it would be a beautiful phone! And the design is rather unique. But didn’t say about the back camera’s resolution. Let’s wait for the price…
A bit too harsh, I do like this tipe of design
who designed it? -_-
