Gionee Steel 2


Gionee have announced a new mid-range phone for their home market in the Gionee Steel 2. The Steel 2 comes with a 4000 mAh battery, and features a 5-inch display. 

Gionee Steel 2 Specifications
  •          5-inch 1280 x 720p display
  •          1.25 GHz quad-core MediaTek processor (unspecified model)
  •          3GB RAM
  •          Mali T720 GPU
  •          8 mega-pixel rear camera
  •          16GB/32GB ROM (expandable up to 128GB via microSD)
  •          Android 6.0
  •          Fingerprint sensor

It’ll be available in Jazz Gold and Gold Black colour variants. As you can see from the spec set above, GizChina readers outside of China will probably not be too frustrated about not having this phone available anywhere else besides China.

The phone costs 1299 yuan in China, about US$ 187. Not sure what Gionee are after with this one, but their track record says that they know a thing or two about the offline market.
