Chinese TENAA revealed today that Gionee is already preparing a successor to its last year’s Gionee W909 flip phone.

In terms of design, the device adopts a Pentagonal design that is quite different from that of its predecessor. Similar to the recently announced Gionee M7 plus, there is a premium leather coating at the rear with a single rear camera and a fingerprint sensor below it.
The certification page reveals that the Gionee W919 which measures 128×62.7×16.2mm and weighs 230g, much like its predecessor will sports two 4.2-inch HD displays, an octa-core 2.5GHz processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB storage, an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. The device is expected to boot Android 7 Nougat out of the box and will be powered by a 3000mAh non-removable battery.
With the key specs already outed by TENAA, the Gionee W919 could be a minor upgrade over its predecessor.The only notable changes observed here could be in the battery size, RAM, processor make and a bit of design.
