The Gionee S11 and S11S launched earlier tonight might be considered as flagships but the Gionee M7 Plus is the true flagship of the night.

Gionee M7 Plus Design

The M7 Plus ditches the metal and glass design of the S11 duo for imported calfskin leather and 21K gold plated metal. The leather covers the back, while the metal frame and the rectangular metal plate housing the rear cameras get the gold-plating treatment.

Up front, the M7 Plus doesn’t look bad at all. The top and bottom bezels are significantly smaller and wear a blue coat rather than black and there are practically no bezels on the sides.

Overall, the Gionee M7 Plus isn’t quite the stunner but it does look better than the last Gionee phone with a leather body – the Gionee M2017.

Gionee M7 Plus Specs

The M7 Plus has a 6.43-inch AMOLED Full View screen with an 86% screen-to-body ratio. There is 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage which is more than sufficient. For the processor, Gionee has settled for the Snapdragon 660 mobile platform.

The Gionee M7 Plus packs dual rear cameras. One is a 16MP f/1.8 sensor and the other is an 8MP sensor. There is also an 8MP sensor in front for selfies.

The key features of the M7 Plus doesn’t end there. It packs a massive 5000mAh battery with support for 10W wireless fast charging – a first for Gionee phones. There is a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.0, dual SIM slots, and a micro USB port.

Gionee also says the M7 Plus has dual security chips like most of its other flagship phones. One chip is for data encryption and the other is for secure payments and for fingerprint encryption.

Gionee M7 Plus Price

The M7 Plus doesn’t come cheap. Gionee is asking for ¥4399 (~$667) for the flagship. This shouldn’t come as a surprise for those familiar with Gionee’s pricing. The M7 Plus is billed to go on sale January 1, 2018.

The Gionee M7 Plus has recently appeared on AnTuTu benchmarks and now it has been also spotted on GFXBench benchmarking platform.

The GFXBench listing states that the M7 Plus has a 7.5-inch display that supports a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. Well-known leakster Evan Blass had revealed in the previous month that the M7 Plus would be coming with a 6.43-inch display. Hence, it seems that the display size of the phone is mentioned incorrectly on GFXBench.

The M7 Plus could be sporting the very same display that is available on the Vivo X20 Plus that also houses a 6.43-inch screen. According to GFXBench listing, the smartphone is driven by an octa-core processor by Qualcomm that clocks 2.2 GHz and it also features Adreno 512 graphics. This indicates that the Snapdragon 660 chipset would be powering the Gionee M7 Plus. The SoC is accompanied by 6 GB of RAM and it has an internal storage of 64 GB.

Wireless charging isn’t a new technology but it is still in its infancy as the level of adoption on smartphones is still very low. At the present, you can only find wireless charging on flagship models such as Galaxy Note 8, iPhone X, LG V30, Galaxy S* and a host of others. Gionee is about entering that exclusive list and they are going to do that in grand style.

Majority of the wireless charging on smartphones today uses the Qi standard and involves using a charging pad on which the smartphone is placed. Gionee M7 Plus has been revealed to come with such feature and it is going to be a 16W wireless charging which is expected to be super fast. It is interesting to note that even Samsung’s wireless charging doesn’t come near. Samsung first supported wireless charging in 2013 with the Galaxy S4 but its latest wireless charging pad rating stands at around 10W. Apple’s latest iPhone 8 series and iPhone X, also joined the Qi standard wireless charging support for the first time. But Gionee M7 Plus rumoured 16W wireless charging feature is also well ahead of the latest iPhone’s AirPower wireless charging pad with a wattage of 7.5 watts.

The M7 Plus 16W (9V/1.78A) wireless charger is a fast charger and is nearly as fast as a 18W wired fast charger. The device is also revealed as having support for version 1.2 of the Qi Wireless Charging standard. Of course, even though there is a leather back, there is a steel part where the wireless charging port is located.  We expect the M7 Plus to be released later this month with a 6.43-inch full -view display screen and 18: 9 aspect ratio. Apart from the wireless fast charging, the device is also expected to feature a wired charging which will likely still be a fast charger.

The post Gionee to Announce 8 Bezel-less Phones on November 26 appeared first on Gizmochina.

In the last few weeks we have seen a number of Gionee phones with full-screen displays on TENAA and GFXBench. There is the Gionee S11 and S11S which are likely successors to this years S10 series; then there is the 5” Gionee F205; and most recently seen is the Gionee F6L with a 5.7” screen. However, there is a new one coming soon according to @Evleaks. Called the Gionee M7 Plus, it may set the record as the largest 18:9 display phone.

Gionee M7 Plus flagship, launching "soon." At 6.43", largest full-screen to date? Stainless steel + leather back (i.e. wireless charging?) pic.twitter.com/6W5oABjRE2

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) November 1, 2017

Gionee already released the M7 and M7 Power last month and will be following it with the M7 Plus. While both have 6.01” screens (FHD+ and HD+ respectively), the M7 Power will have a massive 6.43-inch screen.

Evleaks also provided images of the phone. The top and bottom bezels are smaller just like the regular M7, but the side bezels appear to be wider. There is a single camera on the right of the earpiece on the top bezel and Gionee is written on the bottom bezel.

The back is where the action is. Just like the Gionee M2017, the M7 Plus has a leather back. There is a dual camera setup, a LED flash, and a square-shape fingerprint scanner. All of them sit in a gold plated rectangle. While the use of leather gives it a premium appearance, the design itself borders on uninspiring and ugly.
