Price Of Gionee M2017 and Availability
Launch price in USD starts at $1007. If you ask me, that’s quite pricey compared to current flagships in the mobile market.
Regarding availability, the device is already launched. However, it would take quite some time before it gets to Nigeria and perhaps, other countries other than China and the US.
