The other highlight of the handset, as the name suggests, is the 5,000mAh battery. On the performance front, the device is powered by a 1.4GHz octa-core Snapdragon 435 SoC, mated to an Adreno 505 GPU and 4GB of RAM. On the storage front, the M7 Power gets 64GB, which can be further expanded up to 256GB by inserting a microSD card. The all-metal unibody handset runs Amigo OS 5.0 based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Moving on, in terms of optics, the handset gets a 13MP rear snapper with PDAF and an 8MP front shooter. Other core features of the Gionee M7 Power include a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, fast charging, 4G LTE, VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS with GLONASS, NFC and hybrid dual-SIM slots.
