Gionee has quietly launched a mid-range smartphone, barely two weeks after it stunned us with its flagship M2017 and its outrageous $2,450 price tag.

The mid-range smartphone is aptly positioned to deliver quality at an affordable rate, considering the 1,299 yuan (about $190) cost the all-metal device carries.

The Gionee Steel 2 clutches a 5-inch IPS display with HD resolution. There’s also a large and powerful 4,000mAh battery onboard the smartphone and Gionee boasts that with a single charge, the smartphone can last up to three days of uptime. The entire device is fired up by a quad-core MediaTek MT6737 processor and it’s partnered with 3GB of RAM crammed inside. The Gionee Steel 2 also boasts of a 16GB memory on one of its models, while the other model features 32GB of internal storage.
