Gionee has launched its Gionee M6 and M6 Plus smartphones in China. Highlight of these phones is that they feature an encrypted chip that is targeted at securing user’s data on the phone at hardware level. The encryption chip prevents access of hackers to user’s data and aims to help users keep the call logs, photos, documents and notes safe. Another striking feature is their massive battery capacities. The M6 and M6 Plus pack 5000mAh and 6020mAh batteries respectively.
Both devices also feature a fingerprint sensor integrated into the home button. The China variant of the phones will come with encryption chip while global variants will come with just the fingerprint sensor. Also onboard is an IR blaster that allows users to control compatible devices.
