Gionee, a Chinese smartphone maker, is following in the same footsteps as Innos and the company's D6000 handset, which features not one, but two batteries designed to provide the user with additional battery life. Now, according to GSMArena, the latest certification from TENAA states that the firm's smartphone, M5, sports an unorthodox dual-battery setup as well.
While the total battery capacity was not stated by the website, the TENAA certification mentions that Gionee M5 sports two 3,000 mAh batteries, making the grand total come up to 6,000 mAh. With this much battery life, M5 is designed to deliver up to four days of backup life upon continuous usage. In terms of hardware specifications, M5 is unable to impress in the processor department, since the CPU only features four cores that are running at a clock speed of 1.3 GHz.
However, the handset is able to make up for it by possessing 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable storage, and a 5.5 inch screen size that renders the 720p resolution. An 8 MP/5 MP camera sensor combo has also been incorporated, though details have not been provided as to which company Gionee tapped to use those camera sensors.
Unlike Innos D6000, Gionee M5 does not feature a Type-C USB port, and since M5 will not be able to match D6000's performance, the handset will definitely carry a much smaller price tag compared to the $290 stamped on D6000. However, Gionee utilizes a different battery consumption process. Only one battery may be used at one point. When battery life from one cell has been completely used up, the secondary one will start powering on the smartphone.
Gionee has currently not given a release date for its M5 but future consumers who required additional battery from their smartphones will definitely keeping an eye out for this particular device.
