We haven’t heard anything about Gionee lately and since it received a happier logo at the Mobile World Congress last February. Before that, two M5 variants were released and after months of waiting, we’ll get to see the two new Gionee M phones–the Gionee M6 and M6 Plus. The latest Gionee handsets are said to be designed with top privacy and security in mind.
Phone makers usually depend on the Android platform for privacy protection. Only a few companies exert extra efforts in improving security like BlackBerry. Even Apple has Touch ID but when it comes to Android phones, we usually rely on software updates and security patches. However, for Gionee, the OEM has added a special encryption chip that is expected to deliver the most advanced data protection in phones today. The on-chip data encryption is coupled with a Private Vault 2.0 feature that protects messages, images, contacts, apps, and documents.
One of the major differences between the M6 and M6 Plus is the battery. It’s a battle between a 5000mAh and 6020mAh battery. The standard Gionee M6 can already last 16.4 hours of video playback, 55 hours of continuous call, and 794 hours (33 days) of stand-by time. The numbers are impressive so obviously the bigger batt can stay longer.
Gionee M6/M6 Plus can be fully charged after two hours but slightly longer on the Plus variant. What’s good about the phones is that they can charge other devices with the reverse charging feature. Meanwhile, the dual charging chips can adjust the charging current. This way, there will be no overheating if the phone is on fast-charging mode.
