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.

Gionee 20190620G (Gionee M11)

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.

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.

The post Gionee M11 (20190620G) and Gionee M11s (20190619G) full specs revealed by TENAA appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese smartphone maker, Gionee, went bankrupt last year. The company had unpaid debts and there were reports of poor financial management caused in part by a gambling addiction of the company’s founder. It appears the company is making a comeback as two new smartphones were announced today. The phones are the Gionee M11 and the Gionee M11s.

The Gionee M11 and Gionee M11s seem to share the same design as there are two color variants of the same phone in the promo materials. Both have a waterdrop notch, dual rear cameras, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a glass rear panel. Both devices also have red-colored power buttons. They also seem to share similar specs such as RAM, storage, and cameras.

The Gionee M11 and Gionee M11s both have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.  Unfortunately, there is no mention of the processor. Although, the unveiling didn’t reveal which phone is which, it does mention a 4000mAh battery. However, a TENAA listing reveals both phones not only have different battery capacities but also differ in other areas.

The source says two Gionee phones with model numbers 20190620G and 20190619G were certified by TENAA today. These two phones are believed to be the Gionee M11 and Gionee M11s though we don’t know which one is which.

The TENAA certification reveals one of the two phones has a 6.217-inch display and packs a 5000mAh battery. It also measures 157.6 x 76.4 x 9.4 millimeters. While the other has a 6.3-inch display, a 4000mAh battery, and measures 160.6 x 75.8 x 8.4 millimeters. Attached TENAA images show the phones are actually not identical.

Although both devices have dual rear cameras and rear-mounted fingerprint scanners, their designs are different. One of the phones has both sensors and LED flash in the same housing and also has a circular fingerprint scanner. It also has a pink-purple-black gradient color. The other phone separates the LED flash from the dual rear cameras and has an oval fingerprint sensor. It also has a blue-purple gradient color.

The official promo materials also revealed that the Gionee M11/M11s has a 13MP front-facing camera while the rear cameras are a 16MP primary sensor and a 5MP secondary sensor. The phone will be available in two color variants – purple with a gradient finish and green.

There are still several unknown features of both phones including their price. Nevertheless, we expect more details will surface in the coming days.

According to reports, both phones were announced via Gionee’s official WeChat channel. As at the time of writing, the official Weibo account makes no mention of the new phones. And the official website which is now back online also doesn’t mention the new phones. The old phones that are on the website are currently listed as out of stock.

ITHome reports that following the company’s auction of its patents in July, Lu Guanghui, the company’s second-largest shareholder organized meetings to plan a restructuring. The restructuring is said to have been completed and that business will resume soon.
