As 2016 says goodbye, we are beginning to see what the trends could be that will enter strongly in 2017 on both tablets and smartphones. The consolidation of virtual reality during this year and the improvement in components such as processors or screen resolutions, could give us some clues about the fields in which the different brands will work in the coming months and that taking into account the advances of the last times, they could be focused on improving autonomy. As we have mentioned on other occasions, better screens or the ability to have 3D in the terminals, not only requires a very high performance, but also more durable batteries that also better manage resources.
With the latest shopping campaigns and the holding of the first technology fairs on the calendar, the different players in the sector continue to warm up their engines so as not to lose positions in the race for leadership or at least, to obtain a good position in a market with an oversupply . G is an example of this, since the Chinese company would be finishing polishing the details of a new phablet what would the light see in 2017 and that it would have already obtained the approval of TENAA. What could this device offer to compete on equal terms against the industry benchmarks? Will it be up to the task?
Integrated
The photographs approved by the Chinese telecommunications body and leaked on some specialized websites and social networks in the Asian country, would show a rectangular terminal, with pronounced edges in contrast to other models with softer curves and that, at first, would be available only in black. Regarding the material of its covers, it is still to be confirmed although the available images show a device whose back cover would have a rough texture and cracked that could remind us of some LG models. Its weight could be around 230 grams, somewhat higher than the average of 170 that we are finding in many cases, and would have a fingerprint reader on the start button.
Image
From Phonearena have already echoed the characteristics of this field that could be the showcase for the new from Gionee. We would be before a device of 5,7 inches with curved screen and whose resolution would be one of its strengths, since it would reach the 2560 × 1440 pixels. In the cameras we would not find great displays: A 13 Mpx main rear lens and an 8 front lens designed for selfies. Everything indicates that we would see one of the great novelties in terms of sensors during 2016 and in which several Chinese companies are already focusing efforts: A dual system, which in this case would be reflected in another 12 Mpx rear camera.
Performance
From portals such as Softpedia they assure that this device would focus on the mid-range thanks to a processor manufactured by MediaTek. It is postulated that he would ride the Helio P10, which would reach peaks of 1,95 GHz. Refering to RAM, we would be in front of a terminal 6 GB whose initial storage capacity would be 128 GB. One of the drawbacks that the next Gionee could have for those who value this second parameter more, is the fact that I would not have a slot for Micro SD cards. At first glance, these features would be sufficient to support without problems not only the image characteristics that we discussed before, but also the execution of several tasks simultaneously and heavy games.
Operating System
In 2017 it would be more common to see mid-range and higher phablets that ran with Android Nougat or at least, that had support to update. However, for now, Gionee's terminal would not have either of them and would be equipped as standard with Android Marshmallow of which it is unknown if there will be any personalization layer of its own. The absence of the last member of the green robot family could be another drawback that makes it less attractive to other audiences who value the most current software possible. In terms of connectivity, no details have been released although it would be logical for it to support WiFi, 3G and 4G networks.
Autonomy
We continue with one of the factors that have aroused more interest about this device, which could be called M2017. As we mentioned at the beginning, the autonomy must be improved and be high if the manufacturers decide to incorporate virtual reality and as it is in this case, dual lens systems. To try to guarantee this, Gionee could equip your terminal with a 7.000 mAh battery Although it is unknown if it will incorporate any fast charging technology, it is assumed that it would be able to withstand several days of use.
Availability and price
Having been approved a few hours ago by TENAA, the Gionee phablet still does not have definitive dates of presentation and subsequent sale. It would be logical that at first, it came to light in its country of origin. However, it is still unknown if it will reach Europe and what its markets will be. Of course, the approximate cost of this device is not known either, although it is postulated with its positioning within the mid-range.
Do you think that the next of this Asian technology will start with a certain advantage in the future, having already received the approval of the authorities of the Country of the Great Wall? Do you think that this approval does not guarantee a privileged position compared to other companies that can also present higher devices? You have more related information available about other launches of the company so that you can give your opinion.
