A Google Play Console listing has revealed that Shenzhen-based Gionee is currently gearing up to launch a new Android tablet named Gionee M61 pretty soon. It has entry-level specifications and will hence likely carry a cheap price tag. The listing also contains a render of the tablet.

Key specifications include a Spreadtrum T610 processor that will feature two ARM Cortex-A77 cores and six ARM Cortex-A55 cores, all clocked at 1800Mhz. The processor is based on the 12nm architecture and will be paired with a Mali-G52 GPU clocked at 614Mhz. There appears to be only a single 4GB RAM variant, which is decent enough even by today’s standards.

The display has a Full-HD+ resolution of 1200 x 1920 pixels and a screen density of 320 DPI. While a screen size wasn’t specified, it is estimated to be around 7 to 8-inches, judging from its resolution to DPI ratio. Further, the Google Play Console listing specifies that the Gionee M61 tablet runs on the Android 11 operating system, which still happens to be the latest Android version at the moment, considering that Android 12 is still under development.

In terms of design, the tablet does look kind of dated on the front thanks to chunky bezels at the top and bottom. But there are no intrusive punch holes or notches of any kind because the front camera has been housed within the top bezel itself. No details about the camera configuration are available currently. The volume controls are located at the right of the tab while the power button has been positioned at the top.

Intricacies such as the battery capacity, fast charging support, storage, and variants are also not present on the listing, meaning that we may have to wait a while to see those. Further, it is unknown where and when the Gionee M61 tablet will be released.

For those unaware, Gionee used to be quite a popular Chinese smartphone brand that was also one of the first to invest in India. But it failed to compete with other innovative OEMs like Xiaomi and Huawei, thus losing its foothold in the few countries they were popular in. However, with products like the Gionee M61, which also happens to be the company’s first tablet offering in years, they sure are trying to make a comeback. The company is also working on a Redmi Note 10-like phone.
