Gionee W909 is a Powerful Flip Phone With Dual HD Display

Chinese smartphone brand Gionee has recently launched the Gionee W909, a powerful camera phone from a company that has been enhancing its reputation with each passing month.

Let’s take a quick look at the specifications on the Gionee W909.

Specifications – Gionee W909

The Gionee W909 comes with a 4.2 inch dual HD IPS display with a pixel resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. The phone boasts of a 1.8 GHz Octa Core MediaTek Helio P10 processor and a 4 GB RAM. That is one powerful rig if you ask me. The internal storage on the Gionee W909 is 64 GB which is expandable up to 128 GB via a microSD card slot.

The W909 comes with a great 16 megapixel primary camera with LED flash and PDAF tech, while the secondary camera is a 5 megapixel unit. The dual SIM phone supports all standard connectivity options that one would expect on a modern smartphone, including 4G. The W909 has a a battery capacity of 2530 mAh and will offer talk-time up to 30 hours and standby time up to 408 hours.

The battery capacity on the W909 is a bit of a surprise for what is essentially a high-end Gionee smartphone. Gionee has been offering some pretty amazing phones where the USP was more often than not, the battery capacity. The Gionee Marathon M5 series of phones sport some of the most spectacular battery tech and capacity on display in the market. The Gionee Marathon M5 Plus and the Gionee Marathon M5 Enjoy are both mid-range smartphones with battery capacity upwards of 5000 mAh. So to watch a new Gionee entrant in the market that isn’t even a budget phone, sport a 2530 mAh battery will come as a bit of a surprise for Gionee loyalists.

The W909 is pretty lightweight for its form factor and at just 207.7 grams the phone is a delight to hold. The phone is powered by the Android 5.1 Lollipop OS, however, the user interface on the W909 is Gionee’s own Amigo 3.1 UI running on top of Android.

The W909 is yet another innovative offering from Gionee

I mentioned above that the battery capacity on the Gionee W909 is surprising low for a high-end Gionee phone but make no mistake, the Gionee W909 more than makes up for it with innovation in a different direction. The W909 is a flip phone with dual HD IPS displays, which makes it a one of a kind offering. While the Gionee W909 may not become a fan favorite in its first outing the phone will garner enough attention to keep the Gionee manufacturing and dispatch teams busy for a while.

There is nothing new about a flip phone of course. We have seen many of them in the Nokia days. But a flip phone with a dual HD IPS touchscreen display that supports fingerprint sensors? That’s a novelty. This innovative approach alone will likely fetch Gionee more purchase orders than some of its competitors get after multiple rounds of marketing campaigns and social media one-upmanship. It’s 2016 and innovation still sells. And it always will.
