Another entry-level device, the Gionee Pioneer P2M, was launched in July last year. In terms of specifications, the Pioneer P2M features a WVGA IPS display, powered by 1.3 GHz MT6580M MediaTek quad-core processor with 1 GB RAM. It comes with 4-inch screen. The internal storage is 16 GB, and is expandable up to 32 GB. It runs on Android 5.1, and packs 3,000 mAh battery.

The smartphone features a WVGA IPS display with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. It has three capacitive buttons for Menu, Home and Back. All of these buttons are placed just below the display. Additionally, there is a 0.3 MP front-facing camera lens located above the display to the left of the earpiece, just opposite to the side where buttons are located. The earpiece is located in the center, on the top. To the right of the earpiece is the proximity sensor.

The left side of the device is kept clean.

With a weight of just 140 grams and a comparatively smaller screen size, the device is easy to hold carry. And a price of just ₹6,999 ($105 approx.) for 3,000 mAh battery juice makes it a good buy.

The box contains the smartphone, along with a travel adaptor, a data cable, a user manual, a warranty card, a silicon back cover, a screen guard and a pair of earphones.
