Yesterday, we reported that Gionee is back as they announced two new smartphones called the Gionee M11 and Gionee M11s on WeChat. The Chinese smartphone maker seems to have put an end to its financial troubles and is ready to take on its competitors again. There was a partial TENAA listing of the two devices yesterday, but today, TENAA has published the full specs of both phones.
Going by Gionee’s previous models which come in standard and “s” variants, we believe the Gionee 20190620G is the Gionee M11 while the Gionee 20190619G is the Gionee M11s. The “s” model usually has the better specs just as in the case of the Gionee S11 and Gionee S11s.

The Gionee M11 (20190620G) has a 6.217-inch display with a 720 x 1520 resolution. There is a camera in the middle of the upper part of the display which is housed in a notch.
The phone is powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core processor most likely supplied by MediaTek. There will be three variants – 3GB RAM + 64GB, 4GB RAM + 64GB, and 6GB RAM + 128GB and all will support storage expansion.
There are dual cameras on the back and TENAA says the sensors are a 16MP primary camera paired with a 2MP secondary sensor. Based on the listing, it appears the 2MP sensor is interpolated to 5MP or maybe some variants have a 5MP secondary sensor. The front camera is a 5MP sensor which seems to be 8MP on some variants or interpolated to 8MP. The phone has a fingerprint sensor on the back.
The Gionee M11 packs a 5000mAh battery which has become pretty popular on a lot more phones this year. Unfortunately, it runs Android 8.1 Oreo. The phone will be available in Black, Gradient Blue, and Gradient Purple (above). It weighs 180 grams and measures 157.6 x 76.4 x 9.4 millimeters.

Gionee 20190619G (Gionee M11s)
The Gionee M11s (20190619G) comes with a slightly bigger 6.3-inch display with a Full HD (2340 x 1080) resolution. It is also powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core processor paired with 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of RAM and 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of expandable storage.
There are dual cameras on the rear side of the phone along with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The listing states two configurations 16MP + 5MP or 20MP + 8MP. The front camera also has two configurations – 13MP or 16MP.
Unlike its sibling, it packs a smaller 4000mAh battery but runs Android 9 Pie. It will be available in Dream Blue, Ink Green, and Starry Black. The Gionee M11s weighs 170 grams and measures 160.6 x 75.8 x 8.4 millimeters.
We expect Gionee will make a proper announcement soon and also reveal details about the pricing and availability of both phones.
