The Chinese brand Gionee is still releasing phones for its local market, as we can see the latest model called the M3. Gionee M3 houses a 6.53-inch HD+ resolution screen with a waterdrop notch for the 8MP selfie shooter and is powered by the MediaTek P60 chipset with 6/8GB RAM and 128/256GB storage.
Still looking at the camera, there is an octagon cutout for a triple-camera setup – 16MP primary camera, 5MP ultrawide snapper, and two 2MP modules. The phone packs a 5,000 mAh battery which supports 18W charging. Dimensions come in at 163.2 mm x 75.9 mm x 9.3 mm, while the weight rounds out to 201 grams.
The Gionee M3 comes in black, green, sky, and gray colors. Pricing starts at CNY 899($137) for the 6/128GB model. There’s also a 8/128GB trim for CNY 959 ($147) and a 8/256GB model for CNY 1,059 ($162). There’s no official word from Gionee if the M3 will make its way to markets outside China.
