Gionee M5, the first Lollipop smartphone with two batteries inside gets certified by TENAA

A few days ago, Gionee teased the M5, which is the first Lollipop-running smartphone to feature two batteries inside. While a lot wasn’t clear about the smartphone then, the China Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center (TENAA) has certified and listed some of the specs of the smartphone on its website now. Although not all the specs were listed, the ones on the list stipulates that the Gionee M5 belongs to the mid-range segment.

The smartphone features a 5.5-inch 720p AMOLED display, a quad-core 1.3GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of built-in storage. There's an 8MP camera at the back, while a 5MP front facing camera takes care of selfies. The Gionee M5 measures 152 x 76 x 8.6mm, and weighs about 213, too heavy for a smartphone, but that’s because of the additional battery inside. The batteries capacities are still unknown though.

While the Gionee M5 is the first Android 5.0 Lollipop smartphone to feature dual batteries inside, it’s not the first smartphone to come with the feature. The Innos D6000, that was announced at MWC, was the world’s first smartphone with two batteries inside, but it runs Android 4.4 KitKat.

It’s not clear exactly when Gionee will officially unveil the M5, but it won’t be long.
