GIONEE M2 REVIEW

The Gionee M2 is like every other smart phone powered by a 1.3GHz quad core processor, but unlike the other handsets, the M2 comes with big battery of 4200 mAh capacity – it lasts really long. The handset comes with 4200 mAh battery, two screen guards, service center list, user guide, warranty card, data cable, earphone and travel charger. The Handset does look attractive with slightly curved edges. Because of a higher battery capacity the handset has gained some weight and thickness. The Gionee M2 is bulky at 198 grams (with battery). Dimensions are 72.29 x 144.01 x 10.88mm. In spite of the weight handset feels good to hold and fits into your hand nicely.
   The side / rear are matte finish. The camera on the rear side is placed way on the top (left) with LED flash. Gionee logo and speaker vent are placed at the back bottom. On the front there are 3 touch buttons for navigation (non back lit they do not light up). 3.5mm audio jack is placed on the top, volume rockers and power button on the right and micro USB port and mic at the bottom.
    This is a dual SIM handset with a Normal SIM (SIM 1) and a Micro SIM (SIM 2) slots.The Display screen is 5 inches with FWVGA (854 x 480) resolution. Touch is good but viewing angles are okay, could have been better. There are good list of sensors – accelerometer, light, magnetic and proximity sensors. WiFi direct and Wireless Display is supported.
   The M2 runs on Android 4.2.2 with Amigo UI. There are some new apps (pre installed) that work with the Amigo UI – Amigo paper and color (Wallpaper / effect / theme).Of the 4GB storage 1.6GB is assigned for apps and 612MB as phone storage. Free RAM on the first boot is 441MB (of the 1GB RAM). Micro SD card is supported; you can move / install apps on external storage. OTG is not supported.
