Flagship smartphone offering 7000mAh battery could be launched this year

In a seemingly first-for, there could be a new smartphone launching this year offering its users a 7000mAh battery. This phone would be launched by Chinese brand Gionee that is known in India for its budget range of flagship smartphones.

Now, as per a GizmoChina report that quotes an official Gionee teaser, a new Gionee-branded handset featuring 7000 mAh battery and a curved screen is in existence and would be launched shortly. However, the exact release date of this device is yet to even surface at this point in time.

GizmoChina also believes that this phone, teased in the rteaser image, is the Gionee M2017 which had surfaced a few weeks ago; this phone had also reportedly passed TENAA certifications. Key technical specifications of the Gionee M2017 include:

•   5.7-inch QHD display
• 2 GHz octa-core processor
• 6GB RAM
• 128GB internal storage
• 7000 mAh battery.

The obvious USP of this purported phone is that it features a powerful (expected) 7000 mAh battery. This should give the business class of users lots to cheer about in terms of obtaining maximum performance on a single full charge of the battery.

The Gionee phone offering 7000 mAh battery could be priced competitively as well considering Gionee's reputation of being a budget-friendly smartphone brand.
