Gionee announced the M6S Plus last week as a successor to the M6 and M6 Plus. For this new high mid-range device, Gionee has gone all out with the specs. From its monster 6000mAh battery, to the Snapdragon 653 SoC paired with 6GB of RAM, and all these sitting behind a 6-inch Samsung AMOLED display, you should expect this to be pricey too.

The Gionee M6S Plus is now on sale today in China and film star, Dakang Secretary is the brand ambassador for the phone. For ¥3499 (~$507), you can snag the 64GB variant on Jingdong. There is also a 256GB version but it is not available for purchase now though the  price is listed as ¥4299 (~$623)

The Gionee M6S Plus does more than just pack impressive specs. The phone is also pretty secured with a dedicated fingerprint encryption chip with an EAL4+ certification. Gionee says the 6020mAh battery also supports QC 3.0 and will still retain over 80% of its capacity after a 700 charge cycle.

For optics, the Gionee M6S Plus has a 12MP rear camera with  1.4μm pixel and a f/1.9 aperture while the front facing camera is an 8MP sensor. It also runs Android 6.0 (Amigo OS 3.5) which is a bummer seeing as quite a number of phones are launching with Nougat already.

If you are in need of a phone with a large battery, a large display and a focus on security, you may want to consider the M6S Plus.

Gionee has announced a new smartphone today in China dubbed M6S Plus.  The Gionee M6S Plus comes about 9 months after the Gionee M6 and M6 Plus smartphones were announced, with models boasting of mid-budget specifications. The Gionee M6 and M6 Plus perhaps stood out because of the security encryption chip they feature.

Gionee M6S Plus – Design & Specification

Design wise, Gionee continues with its reputation of designing beautiful smartphones on the M6S Plus. The Gionee M6S Plus proves itself to be a true phablet as it sports a 6-inch Samsung AMOLED display with Full HD resolution and 2.5D curved glass protecting the screen from scratching. The display looks curved at the sides with ultra-thin bezels, while at the top and bottom, the bezels are minimum. The bottom bezel houses the front home button which comes in an oval shape and also has the fingerprint sensor embedded under. The device also comes with the same fingerprint encryption that featured on the M6 and M6 Plus which can be used to unlock the device and for fingerprint payment etc. It uses a metal body and the body is said to have been trimmed using a diamond cutting method with the edges well-chamfered,  making the phablet easy to hold.

 As far the specs go, the M6S Plus packs a Snapdragon 653 processor backed by 6GB of RAM. The phablet comes in two memory variants of 64GB and a higher version of 256GB. Both storages can be expanded up to 256GB via microSD. The new Gionee smartphone is infused with a giant 6,020mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 3.0 fast charge.  The phone also comes with an intelligent power management system which minimizes power consumption.

Talking about the camera, the M6S Plus is equipped with a 12MP rear camera with 1.4um individual pixel, f1.9 aperture, and 0.03s fast focus. The device comes with full network support, 4G+ connectivity, and 16 frequency bands.

Chinese phone maker Gionee released the M6 and M6 Plus smartphones around the middle of last year, both models boasting of mid-budget specifications. The Gionee M6 and M6 Plus perhaps stood out because of the security encryption chip they feature. Right now, seems Gionee is planning to release a successor to the M6 range and it is dubbed the Gionee M6S Plus.

The press invite for the M6S Plus leaked recently and reveals that the device would be launched on April 24 in Beijing. The invitation did not give details about the new device but it is likely going to come with the same fingerprint encryption which the M6 and M6 Plus featured. The M6S Plus is likely coming also with a similar built-in security encryption which made its debut on the M6. There is likely going to be several other upgrades but we don’t know what other upgrades the device would have or even whether the design would see some changes.

The upgrades might be in the processor aspect since the M6 featured an Helio P10 chip. The RAM size could also be increased to 6GB as against the 4GB RAM on the M6 Plus. But we don’t see an increase in the mammoth 6,020mAh battery that is onboard the device. We can’t also say if the camera sensors would be upgraded but we’ll get to find out about the package on April 24 when it is billed to be unveiled.
