An upcoming Gionee phone with model number GN5006L
has been certified by Chinese regulator, TENAA. Listed on the certification
page are images and basic specs of the device. The device could be launch as
part of the Gionee steel series since only that line of Gionee phones comes
with such model numbers.
Going into specifics of the device, the Gionee
GN5006L according to information available on the certification page will come
with a 5.5 inch HD display with 720 x 1,440 pixels resolution. The display
front seems elongated and that may mean the device could come with an aspect
ratio of 18:9. Gionee mobile had earlier in the week hinted that it will be
unleashing 8 different mobile phones with 18:9 aspect ratio later this month,
the device could very well be one of those devices. The device will be powered
by an unnamed octa-core processor with a clock speed of 1.4 GHz alongside with
either 2GB RAM or 3GB RAM. Furthermore,
the Gionee GN5006L according to TENAA will come in two expandable storage
options of 16GB and 32GB storage variants.
In the photographic section, the phone features a
single 8MP rear unit with LED flash, autofocus, FHD video as well as a similar
8MP front shooter. Measuring 144.7 x 69.8 x 8.5mm and at 170g, the device packs
in a large 4,000mAh battery and will boot
Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box.
The device is expected to launch in black, gold and
blue color options with a full set of connectivity options including dual SIM,
4G-LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, GPS/A-GPS and a micro USB 2.0 port. There is no information on what specific device this
could be, but there are indications it could launch as the Gionee steel 3.
