There is not much difference between the Gionee M7 Power and M7 in terms of design. They are similar in size. This parades a metal body that comes in a variety of colours, including gold, black and blue. It is not an ultra-slim device at 8.6 mm.
You will find a huge 6-inch IPS LCD display on the front. Like the regular variant, this has an aspect ratio of 18:9, but screen resolution is different. The Gionee M7 Power has an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1,440 pixels for roughly 268ppi pixel density.
Camera and StorageIt appears you won’t be getting the dual rear cameras of the Gionee M7 on this one. Spec sheet shows that the Gionee M7 Power packs a 13MP sensor with autofocus and LED flash on the rear. It captures Full HD (1080p) videos at 30 frames per second.
Beside the speaker opening at the top of screen is an 8MP selfie shooter. You get the same generous onboard storage of 64 GB for keeping your photos and other things. There is also dedicated slot for extending this by another 256 GB with a microSD card.
Performance and OSThe Gionee M7 Power uses a different processor to the one on the regular model. It comes with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chipset running along at 1.4 GHz. RAM capacity is lower at 4 GB, but still good enough for superb performance. An Adreno 505 GPU takes charge of graphics crunching. Out of the box, the Gionee M7 Power runs Android 7.1 Nougat OS with Amigo 5.0 skin.
Other Specs and FeaturesIt is unarguable that a major selling point of the Gionee M7 Power is its colossal 5,000mAh Li-Po battery. This supports fast charging to reduce the amount of time it spends while in the socket.
There is a fingerprint scanner at the centre on the rear, near the top, for additional security. Gionee M7 Power supports fast 4G LTE connectivity via its dual SIM slots. You also get USB OTG.

Members of the Senate have donated 1,280 bags of rice as of Wednesday to Kogi State Government’s workers whose salaries have not been paid for some months now.
This was made know by the senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, at a press briefing on Wednesday.
Melaye said he was spearheading donation of relief materials to Kogi workers over unpaid salaries.
Melaye said, “Today, I drew the attention of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the plight of civil servants in my native Kogi State following the recent disturbing reports of deaths by suicide and inability to pay medical bills by some workers.
“I’m happy to report to you that my colleagues in the Senate have immediately responded by donating bags of rice and other essential items to the workers in order to cushion the biting effects of non-payment of their salaries by the Kogi State Government.
“The donation, which amounted to 1,280 bags of rice as of today (Wednesday), and others that will follow later, will be handed over to the Kogi State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress for onward distribution to the most vulnerable workers who need immediate assistance.”
The lawmaker also provided details of personal donations by each senator.
