Gionee is gradually resuscitating after going bankrupt last year. It has been gradually launching phones in China and other markets. Tomorrow, the company will be announcing the Gionee Max mid-range device In India. Earlier this year, Gionee announced the Gionee K6 and Gionee Steel 5 smartphones in China. The brand has silently launched a new phone called Gionee K3 Pro in the homeland. It is a mid-range phone powered by the Helio P60 chipset.
The Gionee K3 Pro is built around a 6.53-inch display that offers HD+ resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio. The waterdrop notch screen offers a 90 percent screen space. The JD listing mentions that the phone features a glass rear and it measures 164.3 x 77.6 x 9.7mm and it weighs 205 grams.
For snapping selfies, the Gionee K3 Pro features a front-facing camera of 13-megapixel. There is a square-shaped module placed at the upper-left corner of the phone’s rear shell. At the center of the module is an LED flash and it houses AI-driven 16-megapixel camera system. The module also houses a fingerprint reader which is located close to the camera.
The MediaTek Helio P60 chipset is the driving force of the Gionee K3 Pro smartphone. The handset has up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of storage. For more storage, the phone features a microSD card slot. Unfortunately, it is loaded with the older Android 9 Pie OS. The phone draws power from a 4,000mAh battery that comes with 10W charging support.
