The crappy 0.3MP of Gionee M2 mini on the front camera is not really cool for selfies, but Innjoo Halo coast home on this with a fair 2.0MP front camaera. Both of them offer decent shots with a 5.0MP on the rear camaera.

Gaming fans will have sacrifice something. Though the 1 GB RAM of both phones can definitely hold against any game thrown at it, a better offering of a 2 GB would have provided a smoother play for HD games . 8 GB ROM for your application and storage is is a fair offer but you may still need a memory card which can easily give you an expanded  memory size of up to 64GB for storage.

While Google is launching the preview of the next Android M 6.0, Innjoo is still offering Kit Kat 4.4. But their saving grace is that Innjoo is the only device that offers a working upgradable ROM for most of its phones. Gionee M2 mini comes preloaded with the latest Lollipop 5.1

Other features:

Gionee M2 mini comes in a variety of colors viz Black, White, grey, red and now Gold while Innjoo is offering just white black and gold. 


Innjoo Halo is much lighter with the favored Kelvar textured back which is proven to be tougher than steel. 

The two devices come with a microUSB, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b//g/n/ac with Hotspot and Wi-Fi Direct. They also feature A-GPS and GLONASS.
Gionee M2 mini also has some extra features like a unique Amigo v3.0 UI, a sleek music player, a Control Center, Hotknot as well as an intuitive phone dialer.

Verdict

These two are really competitive. But Gionee M2 mini will be banking on the already made famed Gionee M2 and a good Customer support and repair/replacement center while Innjoo Halo has a more premium value in feel and look and packs great features at a competitive price, their customer care is also available though not as wide spread as Gionee’s.
