One of the eight smartphones with a Full View display Gionee is expected to launch today in China is the Steel 3. The phone is presumed to be the Gionee GN5006L seen on TENAA a few weeks ago. Ahead of its launch later today, the device was seen in public at a Chinese conference where someone took a picture of it.

The Gionee Steel 3 captured in the image above is the gold variant, one of the three colors it is expected to launch in. The other two colors are black and blue.

The phone still has bezels at the top and bottom but are slightly smaller than that of its predecessor, the Steel 2. The Full View display is 5.5” with a 1440 x 720 resolution that translates into an 2:1 aspect ratio or 18:9 as most people call it.

The new display has prompted some key changes to be made to the Steel 3. Instead of capacitive buttons, the Steel 3 is shown with on-screen buttons. The home button/fingerprint scanner is also missing, most likely now at the back. Its old position is now occupied by Gionee’s branding. The top bezel on the other hand houses the earpiece, sensor, and front camera.

Gionee has an event on November 26 and it plans to set a record by announcing 8 different smartphones. All the phones are expected to come with Full View displays but belong to different categories. The official Weibo account posted a teaser confirming that the Gionee F6 and Gionee F205 are two of the 8 smartphones.

Gionee F6

The Gionee F6 was seen on TENAA a fortnight ago. It will have a 5.7” display with a 720 x 1280 resolution. There will be two RAM variants – 3GB and 4GB but both will have 32GB of built-in storage.

The F6 will be powered by a 1.4GHz octa-core processor and will run Android 7.1.1 with Gionee’s Amigo OS on top. Gionee has also included dual rear cameras (13MP +2MP) on the phone and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. For selfies, there is an 8MP camera. Battery capacity is 2,970mAh.

Gionee F205

The F205 on the hand was seen on GFXBench. It has a smaller 5” display but with the same resolution as the F6, so it will have a much higher PPI and smaller form factor.

There is 2GB of RAM paired with MediaTek’s specially made for 18:9 displays MT6739 SoC clocked at 1.5GHz. Storage is 16GB but will definitely be expandable. GFXBench reveals the rear camera is an 8MP sensor and a 5MP sensor for the front facing camera.

The phone will also come with Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box. Battery capacity is not known but will likely be smaller than that of the F6.

The Gionee S11 is set to launch soon but it appears Thailand may get it first. The official Gionee Thailand Facebook page already has an ad of the upcoming phone that confirms some of its specs.

The advert confirms that the Gionee S11 will have dual front and dual rear cameras. The front cameras are a 16MP + 8MP sensors just like the Gionee S10. It is unknown if the sensors are exactly the same as those of its predecessors. On the rear, there is also a 16MP primary sensor but paired with a 5MP sensor instead.

The quad cameras are not the only key features of the Gionee S11. It will also come with a 5.99” FHD 2.5D Full View display. The ad confirms it will have 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage but doesn’t mention the processor powering the phone. Based on the phone’s GFXBench and TENAA listings, the S11 may have a MT6763 or Helio P25 processor under the hood.

Another info the advert confirms is that the phone will come in blue, pink, and gold. Based on the official replies to fans’ comments, the Gionee S11 doesn’t yet have a launch date (in Thailand) yet. Although Gionee has an event scheduled for November 26 where it plans to unveil a bunch of new phones in Shenzhen, China, there is a chance the S11 will be unveiled there first.
