Chinese smartphone brand Gionee has introduced its latest offering, the Gionee F1 Plus, in its home market. The brand has already made a name for itself by releasing clone models of popular flagship devices such as those from iPhone, Huawei, and Xiaomi. In the past, Gionee has launched the Gionee P50 Pro, a replica of the Huawei P50 Pro, and the Gionnee F3 Pro, which combined features of both iPhone and Xiaomi.

The recently launched Gionee F1 Plus bears a striking resemblance to the iPhone 14 Pro but is cheaper than a Redmi Note 12 in China, let alone an iPhone.

As for its technical specifications, the device offers a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ 1600*720 pixel resolution, a standard 60Hz refresh rate, and a notch cutout to make it look like an iPhone. Further, it is powered by the Unisoc T610 chipset paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It comes with a built-in 4000mAh battery with the support of 10W standard charging.

In terms of optics, it has got a single 13-megapixel rear camera. Other two lenses which you see on the camera bump are dummies. On the front, we have a 5-megapixel selfie snapper that supports AI face unlock. The device boots to the Android 12 operating system right out of the box. Additional features include a 3.5mm headphone jack and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

The device comes in two different variants; 6GB+128GB and 8GB+128GB. The 6GB variant is priced at CNY 1,099 (~$160) while the 8GB variant is priced at CNY 1,199 (~$175). It is available in Magic Night Black and Deep Sea Blue color variants.

The Gionee F3 Pro has a flat frame body, like the newer iPhones. Its camera layout also resembles that of the iPhone Pro series. However, the notch above the screen is smaller than the one on the iPhones.

Further, just like the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra from 2021, it has a secondary display on the right side of the cameras. This screen can not only show time but also notifications and call alerts.

Talking about specs, the F3 sports a 6.5-inch display. The large panel is accompanied by dual stereo speakers for multimedia consumption. The company claims that the device is designed for elders.

Under the hood, it houses a Unisoc T610 chipset. The chip is paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. It boots an unknown version of Android.

The phone uses an unusual 21MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. Last but not least, it is backed by a 3,900mAh battery with support for 10W charging.

The Gionee F3 Pro is priced at ¥1,399 (~$205) and it is already up for sale in China. It comes in gold, blue, and black color options.

The Indian smartphone, in particular, grew 12%YoY last year by registering 162 million units in shipment. On the other hand, the Chinese market shipped 333 million units and incremented by only 1%.

iPhone clones from Gionee and Blackview

Gionee 13 Pro went official last week with an uncanny iPhone 13 resemblance and HarmonyOS. However, it has entry-level specs like an HD+ display (LCD) and a UNISOC T310 chipset. For just  ¥529 (483), it doesn’t sound like a bad deal after all.

At around the same time, Blackview A95 also got announced with an iPhone 13 Pro-like design. Its main highlights other than design include a MediaTek Helio P70 SoC, 6.5-inch HD+ display (LCD), and a 4,380mAh battery.

The 4G-only premium handsets from the once world’s largest smartphone brand sport the same set of features as the variant sold in China, except for software. The global editions of these devices run EMUI 12 without GMS (Google Mobile Services) instead of HarmonyOS.

Despite their shortcomings in terms of software, Huawei is charging a whopping €1,199 for the HUAWEI P50 Pro (8GB + 256GB) and €1,299 for the HUAWEI P50 Pocket (8GB + 256GB). There’s also a Premium Edition of the latter phone with a unique design and 12GB + 512GB memory configuration for €1,599.

Anyway, the H₂OOS (Water OS) trademark is interesting as it combines the names of OxygenOS (O₂) and the discontinued HydrogenOS (H₂OS). The name has no mention of ColorOS, which the software will be actually based on.

Furthermore, a couple of days before this tweet, a tipster stated that the OnePlus 10 Ultra could debut in H2 2022 as the brand’s first superphone or ultra-premium smartphone. The device is said to house OPPO’s MariSilicon NPU.

Gionee 13 Pro has debuted in China. The very first look at the phone will make you say that it looks like the Apple iPhone 13 / iPhone 13 Pro handset. The other highlight of the device is that it is the first non-Huawei phone to come equipped with HarmonyOS. Here is all the information on the specifications, features, and pricing of the Gionee 13 Pro.

Gionee 13 Pro specifications

The Gionee 13 Pro has a 6.26-inch LCD panel with a large notch. It offers an HD+ resolution, a 19:9 aspect ratio, and a 90.3 percent screen-to-body ratio.

There is no word on the secondary camera of the device. Like the iPhone 13 lineup, the Gionee 13 Pro is equipped with flat edges.

The Unisoc T310 chipset is present under the hood of the device. It comes in two variants such as 4 GB RAM + 32 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage.

A Google Play Console listing has revealed that Shenzhen-based Gionee is currently gearing up to launch a new Android tablet named Gionee M61 pretty soon. It has entry-level specifications and will hence likely carry a cheap price tag. The listing also contains a render of the tablet.

Key specifications include a Spreadtrum T610 processor that will feature two ARM Cortex-A77 cores and six ARM Cortex-A55 cores, all clocked at 1800Mhz. The processor is based on the 12nm architecture and will be paired with a Mali-G52 GPU clocked at 614Mhz. There appears to be only a single 4GB RAM variant, which is decent enough even by today’s standards.

The display has a Full-HD+ resolution of 1200 x 1920 pixels and a screen density of 320 DPI. While a screen size wasn’t specified, it is estimated to be around 7 to 8-inches, judging from its resolution to DPI ratio. Further, the Google Play Console listing specifies that the Gionee M61 tablet runs on the Android 11 operating system, which still happens to be the latest Android version at the moment, considering that Android 12 is still under development.

In terms of design, the tablet does look kind of dated on the front thanks to chunky bezels at the top and bottom. But there are no intrusive punch holes or notches of any kind because the front camera has been housed within the top bezel itself. No details about the camera configuration are available currently. The volume controls are located at the right of the tab while the power button has been positioned at the top.

Intricacies such as the battery capacity, fast charging support, storage, and variants are also not present on the listing, meaning that we may have to wait a while to see those. Further, it is unknown where and when the Gionee M61 tablet will be released.

For those unaware, Gionee used to be quite a popular Chinese smartphone brand that was also one of the first to invest in India. But it failed to compete with other innovative OEMs like Xiaomi and Huawei, thus losing its foothold in the few countries they were popular in. However, with products like the Gionee M61, which also happens to be the company’s first tablet offering in years, they sure are trying to make a comeback. The company is also working on a Redmi Note 10-like phone.

A few days ago, a new Gionee phone with a GNS2112Y model number was certified by the TENAA telecom authority. The listing has all the information on its specs and design. Interestingly, the GNS2112Y phone can be seen sporting a design similar to Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 10 series.

The Gionee GNS2112Y’s TENAA listing shows that it measures 174 x 81 x 11 mm and weighs 214.5 grams. The device is quite thick even though it does not house a massive battery. It is expected to release in China in black, white, blue, and red colors.

The handset houses a massive 6.81-inch punch-hole screen that offers an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. It is a 4G phone powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core processor. Sadly, it runs on the obsolete Android 9 Pie OS, and it is backed by a 3,920mAh rated battery.

The smartphone is likely to arrive in 4 GB and 6 GB RAM variants in China. It may come in storage options like 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB. The device for a microSD card slot for additional storage.

The images of the GNS2112Y suggest that it is equipped with a side-facing fingerprint scanner. The TENAA listing does not clearly mention the details of the front and rear cameras of the smartphone. It seems to be fitted with a triple camera setup. The design of the rear camera setup is similar to Redmi Note 10 series.

There is no information available on the final marketing name of the device. The company may unveil it later this month.

Even though Gionee has faded off the mobile phone scene for quite some time now, the company has continued to unveil a number of new models in recent times. The company recently unveiled the P15 Pro in Nigeria a few days back. A second model has now been launched in China dubbed Gionee M3.

The Gionee M3 packs a 6.53-inch waterdrop display with an HD+ resolution of 1600×720 pixels. The phone also adopts a 19:9 screen aspect ratio and has a screen-to-body ratio of up to 90%.

The gradient color of the back panel changes depending on the angle light hits the body.

In terms of configuration, the M3 is powered by a MediaTek Helio P60 chipset. The chipset is an octa-core SoC manufactured using a 12nm process and having a maximum frequency of 2.0GHz.

In terms of the camera, Gionee M3 packs a triple camera setup at the rear made up of a 16MP main camera paired with a 5MP secondary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. On the surface, the device looks like it has four camera sensors so we presume the fourth sensor is a dummy. At the front, there is an 8MP camera embedded in the waterdrop notch opening.

The phone also features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm audio jack. Keeping the lights on is a mammoth 5000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. The phone charges via a USB-C port. Other selling points include a protective TPU case and tempered glass.

The post Gionee Max Pro with 6,000mAh battery, dual-cameras launched in India for ₹6,999($95) appeared first on Gizmochina.

Back in August 2020, Gionee had launched the Gionee Max in India with a ₹5,999 price tag. Now, it looks like the company is bringing a successor under the name Gionee Max Pro.

Gionee is bringing a new device to India on March 1, at 12 PM IST(GMT+ 05:30) and it is called the Gionee Max Pro. A Flipkart teaser page has gone live and it reveals key features of the upcoming budget smartphone.

According to the teaser page, Gionee Max Pro will feature a huge 6.52-inch HD+ display. To compare with the Gionee Max, this display has a v-shaped notch instead of a dewdrop and is about 0.42 inches bigger.

Gionee Max Pro- What we Know so far

Considering it’s still an HD+ display, the resolution should be around 1600×720 pixels. Moving on, the device will feature a bigger 6,000mAh battery as compared to the 5,000mAh on the predecessor.

The Gionee Max Pro also gets upgrades in the RAM and storage departments. Accordingly, the company says that the device will come with 3GB RAM and 32GB onboard storage. Since we are yet to know the processor, we can’t comment on the type of storage yet.

Gionee is trying to market the higher display for content viewing and bigger battery for longer usage. The significance of both these features will obviously depend on what chip runs the device from the inside.

As for price and other features like the camera, we don’t have enough info yet. Hence, let’s wait for official info from the company as we approach the launch next week.

Gionee K30 Pro specifications and features

An unknown MediaTek chipset that ticks at 2.0GHz is present under the hood of the Gionee K30 Pro. The phone is backed by a 4,000mAh battery. It is unclear whether the phone supports fast charging.

The Gionee K30 Pro has a front camera of 8-megapixel. The back panel of the K30 Pro has a round-shaped camera module. While it seems to house quad cameras, the setup has only three cameras, an LED flash unit at the center, and a fingerprint reader. All that is known about the camera capabilities of the K30 Pro is that it has a 16-megapixel main camera, real-time AI beauty, macro shooting and 120-degree wide-angle shooting. Unfortunately, the phone runs on the obsolete Android 7.1.1 OS.

Gionee K30 Pro pricing

The Gionee K30 Pro comes in two variants such as 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. They are priced at 699 Yuan (~$107) and 799 Yuan (~$122), respectively.

Gionee has a new smartphone coming and it has appeared on TENAA. The phone has a modern design but packs an outdated version of Android which may make it unappealing to buyers.

The Gionee GSE1020 has a 6.53-inch 1560 x 720 HD+ display with a waterdrop notch at the top of the screen for the front-facing camera. An unnamed 2.0GHz octa-core processor powers it along with 6GB or 8GB of RAM. The phone will be available in two storage configurations – a 128GB storage option and another with 256GB of storage. You also get a MicroSD card slot for adding up to an extra 256GB of storage space.

The cookie-shaped camera housing on the back of the phone is home to three cameras and an LED flash but the listing says there are only two cameras. The spec sheet mentions a fingerprint scanner which can be seen on the left side of the phone.

The Gionee GSE1020 runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat which is really outdated considering the latest version is Android 11. There is a 4000mAh battery inside the phone but there is no mention of fast charging support.

TENAA says the phone will be available for Rose Gold, Amber Gold, Magic Night Black, Starry Sky Blue, and Black Stone Green. The phone weighs 204.2 grams and measures 164.3 x 77.7 x 9.7 millimeters.

Last week, Gionee F8 Neo was spotted on Google Play Console. The handset’s listing revealed some of its specifications. Now, this smartphone has launched officially in India for an affordable price tag of ₹5,499 ($75). 

The Gionee F8 Neo is an entry-level smartphone. This device is aimed at first-time smartphone buyers. It competes directly with Samsung’s cheapest 2020 smartphone – Galaxy M01 Core.

On the front, the phone features a 5.4-inch HD+ (720 x 1440 pixels) LCD panel without any notch or punch-hole. Therefore, the 5MP selfie camera resides in the bezel above the screen along with an LED flash and an earpiece for calls.

The back of the handset sports geometric patterns like certain realme devices and houses an 8MP main camera accompanied by an LED flash. Being a super cheap smartphone, it lacks a fingerprint sensor but does support the less secure face unlock via the front-facing camera.

Although the brand did not reveal it, as per the Google Play Console listing, it is powered by UNISOC (formerly Spreadtrum) SC9863A chipset paired with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. If required, users can further expand the storage up to 256GB via microSD card.

Further, the phone runs Android 10 and is backed by a 3,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging. Lastly, it will be available in Black, Blue, and Red color options across 1.5 to 2 lakh offline stores in India ahead of Diwali festive season.

A mysterious Gionee phone with G7820LY has appeared in the database of the TENAA telecom authority of China. What is interesting about the listing is that the phone carries support for 5G connectivity. While the final product name of the device is a mystery, it appears that the G7802LY could be landing soon in China as the company’s first 5G capable smartphone.

Gionee G7820LY specifications

The Gionee G7820LY smartphone has 163.6 x 75.5 x 9.7mm dimensions and it weighs 168.7 grams. The listing states that the phone will be available in China in grey-blue color. The mid-range phone has a 6.52-inch display with a waterdrop notch. The screen supports an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The right edge of the G7802LY has a volume rocker and a power key.

The TENAA listing is not clear about the camera configurations of the Gionee G7820LY smartphone. It states that the phone has a 5-megapixel / 8-megapixel / 13-megapixel front-facing camera. The rear side of the phone has a 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel or 16-megapixel + 5-megapixel + 2-megapixel or 48-megapixel + 5-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera system. The G7802LY has a grey colored polycarbonate rate and a blue color fingerprint sensor.

The G7820LY smartphone is fueled by the 2.0GHz + 1.8GHz octa-core processor. Probably, it could be equipped with a UNISOC T7510 5G chipset. Since it is just an assumption, readers are required to wait for newer reports to know which processor powers the device. It has a 4,900mAh rated battery. The handset does not seem to support fast charging. The handset is preinstalled with Android 9 Pie OS.

Gionee is no longer a big name in the smartphone market but the brand under different ownership still continues to launch budget handsets in certain markets. The latest phone from the company is Gionee S12 Lite, which made its debut a few days back in Africa. At around the same time, a new device going by the name of Gionee F11VE was spotted on Google Play Console. Now, another smartphone called Gionee F8 Neo makes its appearance as well.

The newly spotted Gionee F8 Neo is nothing but another budget smartphone from the brand. In fact, it will be powered by the same UNISOC (formerly Spreadtrum) SC9863A chipset found inside the Gionee F11VE. This chip includes a 1.6GHz octa-core CPU consisting of 8 x ARM Cortex-A55 cores and 550MHz PowerVR GE8322 GPU.

EDITOR’S PICK: Gionee M30 launched in China with 8GB RAM, 10,000mAH battery & more

However, unlike the F11VE (720 x 1560), the F8 Neo will flaunt a 720 x 1440 (HD+) display. But it will come with the same amount of RAM (2GB) and Android 10 operating system. Anyway, the difference in screen resolution makes us believe that these two are different devices and not the same phone with two different names.

Having said that, the render of the device on Google Play Console listing could be a generic placeholder. That’s because the device in render has curved front glass, which is uncommon for a budget smartphone powered by a UNISOC chipset.

It is not sure when Gionee will be officially launching the F8 Neo or even the F11VE for that matter.

Recently, Gionee S12 Lite, a budget smartphone was announced for Nigeria. It will be launching in the country on October 5. Now, another Gionee-branded budget handset called F11VE has been sported on Google Play Console. Going by the specifications, it should be even cheaper than the S12 Lite.

The Gionee F11VE listing on Google Play Console was first spotted by user @smartvenkat95 on Twitter. As usual, the listing also includes a front render of this upcoming phone.

According to it, this forthcoming Gionee device will be powered by 1.6GH UNISOC SC9863A (formerly Spreadtrum) octa-core processor with PowerVR GE8322 GPU clocked at 550MHz. Further, the amount of RAM in this phone will be 2GB.

On the front, it will sport an HD+ (720 x 1560 pixels) with a dew-drop notch. Last but not least, it will run Android 10 out of the box.

Apart from the above-mentioned specs, nothing else is known about this mysterious Gionee handset. It is not known in which region this device will debut first.

As per the render and features, it is definitely an entry-level smartphone with a large chin below its screen, which should be an LCD panel. Also, we cannot rule out the possibility of it shipping with Android 10 Go Edition.

Last but not least, the body of this handset is made of polycarbonate like any other budget smartphone and buyers will be able to pick it up in either Blue or Gray color version.

Gionee today launched two new smartphones, one India and the other in China. The one launched in China is the Gionee M30, a premium midrange smartphone which comes with several powerful hardware.

In terms of the design, the Gionee phone has the looks of a rugged phone. It has a metal frame with matte frosted aluminium alloy body and a leather-like finish on the back. The phone comes with a dimension of 160.6×75.8×8.4mm, weighing in at 305g.

The phone comes with a massive 10,000 mAH battery which will sure guarantee an extended usage period. Recall that a Gionee model with 10,000mAH battery was certified by TENAA last month. There is no doubt this is the model.

For photography, the Gionee M30 features a single 16MP camera at the rear with an LED flash underneath. There is also a fingerprint sensor just under the camera. For selfies,the M30 packs an 8MP main camera embedded with face unlock. The Android version onboard wasn’t revealed but TENAA hints at Android Nougat. We doubt if the device will ship with such outdated ROM. Whatever OS version it features, you also get a dedicated encryption chip for upgraded security.

Further, the Gionee M30 features a 3.5mm audio jack, stereo speakers, dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and GPS. The 10000mAH battery charges over a USB Type-C port and you equally get support for 25W fast charging and reverse charging.

As for the price, the Gionee M30 comes in Black colour and is priced at 1399 yuan (~$202). The phone is expected to go on sale in China this August via JD.com and other retailers.

Flipkart’s product page for the Max shows the device will have 2GB of RAM as well as 32GB of storage onboard. The earlier teaser by the e-commerce giant shows the will be priced under INR6,000 (around $80).

The rest of the specs like the chipset and cameras are currently unknown. So, we’ll have to wait until the company officially unveils the product on August 25 which is just two days away.

The post Gionee Max key specs and design officially revealed ahead of August 25 launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Gionee has been taking things pretty slowly since the brand returned to the market last year after filing for bankruptcy. The Chinese brand has been focusing on India in addition to its major market which is China. There are indications that a new Gionee smartphone may be launched soon in India.

The product page for a Gionee model which is dubbed Gionee Max has appeared on Flipkart. The teaser poster on the page shows that the Gionee Max will be launched on August 25 at 2 PM IST.

Although the full specs of the phone are yet to be released, the poster promotes the Max as a superior budget smartphone that would be priced less than Rs. 6000 ($80). The Max may likely return as a large display model and will equally pack a big battery. The battery capacity wasn’t revealed but Gionee recently got TENAA certification in China for a model packing a 10000mAh battery. We don’t expect this model to have such a large battery but the capacity may likely be up to 5000mAh.

The renders of the device also contained on the poster shows the model will have a waterdrop notch design at the top but the bottom bezel looks thick. The device also packs a 3.5mm audio jack.

The post Gionee Max with a big battery launching in India on August 25 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Since Gionee’s return last year, the manufacturer has announced a couple of phones, a handful of power banks and earphones, and even a few smartwatches. Now, it seems set to launch a phone with a really large battery capacity, one that may not require owners to purchase Gionee’s own power banks.

China’s TENAA has certified a Gionee phone with a massive 10000mAh battery capacity. The phone appears on the agency’s database as the “Gionee 20,200,418” and it has a 5.72-inch HD+ (720 x 1440) display.

There is a 2.0GHz octa-core processor under the hood and the phone will be available in 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB RAM variants with 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB of expandable storage. It has a single rear camera which is listed as a 13MP or 16MP sensor while the selfie camera is listed as a 2MP or 8MP sensor. You will also get a fingerprint scanner underneath the rear camera.

Other than the unusually large battery and the model number, another surprising detail about the phone is the Android version it is running. According to TENAA, the Gionee phone runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat. On second thought, it actually isn’t much of a surprise seeing as the Gionee K6 announced back in May runs the same version of Android. Nevertheless, it is disappointing.

The device will be available in black and blue. Its weight is 305 grams and it measures 160.6 x 75.8 x 8.4 millimeters. With respect to its design, the Gionee phone has the looks of a rugged phone. It has a metal frame with rivets on the side and it skips on glass or glasstic for a strong polycarbonate body.

If you are on the search for a phone with an insanely big battery, you should keep your eyes peeled for this Gionee phone when it eventually launches.

There isn’t any doubt now that Gionee has made a comeback to the tech scene. The company has chosen to play safe by focusing on the Chinese and Indian market. Recently, we reported the launch of the Gionee K6 in China. The phone comes powered by an Helio P60 chipset with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage but having a starting price of just 799 yuan (~$112).

The Chinese brand has now unveiled a new power bank in India. The product dubbed Gionee GBuddy True Wireless Power Bank stuffs a 10000mAh battery under the hood. The product is also the firm’s first wireless charging power bank to be sold in India, joining the existing Gbuddy lineup of standard power banks that were unveiled last year.

The GBuddy True Wireless Power Bank adopts a design which looks like a regular power bank but on one side of the flat surfaces is a 5V wireless charging pad along with a digital power meter that displays the charging level.

The Gbuddy wireless power bank adopts an all-metal body. It features a single USB-A port that can be used to charge other devices. The port has a 5V/2.4A rating. In addition, there is a micro USB input port rated 5V/2A and a USB Type-C input with the same 5V/2A rating. It can simultaneously charge devices through the wireless charging pad and the USB-A port.

The wireless power pack isn’t bulky as it weighs 245 grams, having a dimension of 1.5 x 6.8 x 13.8 cm. Gionee says that it can charge a device with a 3000mAh battery 2.2 times and a device with a 4000mAh battery 1.7 times.

Pricing and Availability

Gionee GBuddy True Wireless Power Bank with a 10,000mAh cell comes with a decent Rs. 1299 (~$17) price tag and is presently available on Amazon.in. It is available in a single Black colour option.

HTC has sued Gionee and Meizu in China over alleged patent infringement. The patent being infringed is the concept of a mobile device with a metal chassis, with a specific antenna structure. The invention aims to solve the technical problem of poor radiation signals caused by the shielding of the metal casing, and to design an antenna structure that can be combined with a metal appearance.

If you’re aware of any of HTC’s metal devices, you’ll be familiar with this setup. HTC has been using it since the One M7. Now for the case, HTC claims that Gionee infringed on the patent with the Gionee M6, another full metal device that to be frank, does use the same setup of antennae like the HTC devices. Meizu’s device on the other hand is their M5 Note, another mid-range full metal device.

The Beijing Court of Intellectual Property concluded the two cases did in fact infringe the patent right of the invention. The M6 ​​mobile phone infringed on the invention patent right of “mobile device” No. 201310032515.5, and sentenced the defendants to stop infringement and compensate for economic losses and reasonable expenses.

HTC requested that Meizu compensate 30 million for economic losses. Gionee on the other hand was asked to compensate for economic losses of 24 million yuan, as well as pay for a temporary protection period of 1.6 million yuan. Meizu and Gionee argued against non-infringement, and argued that the plaintiff claimed that the amount of compensation was too high.

During the pre-trial meeting, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court organized the parties to determine the matters of entrusted identification. The appraisal agency issued a “Judicial Appraisal Opinion”, which states that both devices infringe on multiple aspects:

1. The product involved in the case includes components on the metal layer;
2. The antenna structure of the product involved includes the following components: First feed Parts, upper parts of the metal layer, connecting parts, first slot holes, metal shell;
3. The first slot holes are not configured with metal or electronic parts.

Beijing Intellectual Property Court held that some of the data provided by HTC were extrapolated, and the profit margin and patent contribution also lacked sufficient evidence to support it. However, even with a lower profit margin and patent contribution, the calculated amount of compensation has clearly exceeded the statutory maximum limit of one million yuan stipulated in the Patent Law.

Therefore, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court, on the basis of the statutory compensation ceiling, determined that Meizu needs to compensate 3 million yuan for economic losses, while Gionee Corporation compensated 2.6 million yuan for economic losses. This, paired with payments for lawyer fees, totals at 6.5 million yuan in terms of total compensation.

The Gionee Steel 5 is backed with a 5,000mAh battery that is coupled with an intelligent power management system. The smartphone supports 5V/2A charging. The phone comes in three memory options – 3GB, 4 GB, and 6 GB RAM with 64GB or 128 GB of expandable storage.

Gionee is not new to making feature phones. It has been doing so for years now and is not about to stop yet. Last week, it announced the Gionee A326 feature phone with a clamshell design. Today, it has followed it with the Gionee L6+ but this one has a candybar design.

The Gionee L6+ is aimed at students, business folks, and older citizens. You may be wondering why a student will need a feature phone. We all know our smartphones can be distracting, and for students who need to focus, a basic feature phone that can be used for just calls and messaging will come in handy. Business folks can pick up the L6+ as a backup phone to be reached on in case their main phone runs out of battery. While older citizens will find it easier to operate compared to a smartphone.

The specs of the phone are yet to be disclosed so we can’t say anything about the display size, battery capacity, and network support. The phone comes in two colors – gray and blue, with a touch of gold around the rear HD camera. The alphanumeric keypad has large keys and the characters have a bold and large font size.

Gionee is also yet to reveal details about availability and price. Nevertheless, we don’t expect it to cost more than $50.

There are dual cameras on the back and TENAA says the sensors are a 16MP primary camera paired with a 2MP secondary sensor. Based on the listing, it appears the 2MP sensor is interpolated to 5MP or maybe some variants have a 5MP secondary sensor. The front camera is a 5MP sensor which seems to be 8MP on some variants or interpolated to 8MP. The phone also has a fingerprint sensor on the back.

The Gionee M11s comes with a slightly bigger 6.3-inch display with a Full HD+ screen resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels. Under the hood, it is also powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core processor paired with 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of RAM and 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of expandable storage.

Gionee continues to make efforts to ensure that its celebrated comeback into the tech industry attains the needed goal of giving the company a  slice of the pie.  The company launched the  Gionee M11 and M11s as well as the Gionee K3 in September. The company is perhaps trying to elicit nostalgia with the launch of its latest phone. The Gionee A326 is a flip phone that brings to mind the classic era when flip phones held sway.

The phone features a clamshell design which is compact and easy to carry around. The main display shouldn’t be more than 2.8 inches wide while there is a smaller secondary display at the front which should display the time and notifications. It comes in black colour as the main colour but there are other colour options of Starry Blue, Elegant red and what looks like Rose Gold. The design affirms the superior craftsmanship for which Gionee is known. In terms of hardware, Gionee A326 supports dual SIM card and dual standby and has a long standby time.

Other details are not revealed but this isn’t likely an Android phone since the specs are of feature phone level. It may likely run KaiOS.

The pricing and availability have not been announced but with this model, Gionee hinted that it is attempting to satisfy the needs of the compact phone niche markets in an era where almosts all brands are focused on large-display, touchscreen models.

It is already known that Gionee is back in business following its recent releases in the Indian market. The most recent one is its launch of four new power banks with varying designs and capacities. However, China is still missing out on the action, but that might change soon as two new devices have been certified by TENAA. The two phones are the Gionee 20190418Q and the Gionee 20190419Q.

Gionee 20190418Q

The Gionee 20190418Q has a 6.41-inch display with an FHD+ (2340 x 1080) resolution. It has a 2.0GHz octa-core processor and will be available in 2GB and 3GB RAM variants. There will be three storage configurations – 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB of storage.

Gionee is back in business and its return shows it intends to take things seriously going forward. It launched the Gionee F9 Plus smartphone and G Buddy Smart “Life” Watch in India last month and at the launch event, it was revealed that more products such as power banks and headphones will launch later. The company has now silently announced four power banks with various designs and capacities

Gionee 10000mAh Power Bank (PB10K1)

The PB10K1 has a 10000mAh lithium-polymer battery. Housed in an ergonomically-designed white case with black dots lining the lower half and a silver top, it sure looks different from a lot of the power banks out there.

The power bank has two output ports with one charging at 5V 1A and the other charging at 5V 2.4A. The MicroUSB input port has a 5V 2A rating. There are four LEDs to indicate battery level and there is an LED torch that will definitely come in handy. Gionee says it has multi-level intelligent protective circuitry and short-circuit protection.

The power bank is priced at INR 599 (~$8) on Flipkart.

Gionee 10000mAh Power Bank (PB10KD)

The PB10KD also has a 10,000mAh lithium-polymer battery capacity but ditches the sleek design of the PB10K1. The battery is enclosed in a black casing with a 3D textured finish that should provide a firm grip.

There are a total of four ports on the power bank – 2 full-sized output ports, 1 MicroUSB input, and 1 USB Type-C port that serves as both input and output.

Output port 1 has a 5V 1A rating, output port 2 has a 5V 2.4A rating, the Type-C input port has a 5V 3A (15W) rating, and the MicroUSB port has a 5V 2A rating. There are four LEDs for battery level indication as well as a power button.

It is available on Flipkart for INR 599 (~$8) too.

Gionee 20000mAh Power Bank (PB20KD)

The Gionee 20000mAh Power Bank has the same design as the PB10KD above but its battery capacity is double. It also has the same number of ports as its smaller sibling with the same power ratings.

The Gionee 20000mAh Power Bank is available for purchase for INR 1099 (~$15) on Flipkart.

Gionee 10000mAh Power Bank (PB10K1S)

The G Buddy PB10K1S has a slim but different design to the G Buddy PB10K1. It also has a 10000mAh battery capacity but unlike the other power banks which have LEDs to indicate their battery level, this one has an LED display that shows the battery level in percentage.

Even with its significantly slimmer body, Gionee has managed to fit in four ports – 2x full-sized output ports (5V 1A and 5V 2.4A), 1x USB Type-C (5V 3A) input/output port, and 1x MicroUSB input port (5V 2A).

The Gionee 10000mAh Power Bank (PB10K1S) is on Flipkart for INR 699 (~$10).

At first, it seemed as if the company was clearing out old inventory when the Gionee M11 and M11s were launched earlier this month. But Gionee seems to have made a comeback into the tech industry. A new device dubbed Gionee K3 has launched in China and is already on reservation on Jingdong with the pricing starting at 799 yuan ($112). Reservations have been made by over 411 persons in just 6 hours.

Talking about the hardware, Gionee K3 packs a 6.2-inch display with a waterdrop notch. The notch houses an 8MP selfie camera. At the rear, there is a dual-camera setup nested at the top left corner of the panel. The main sensor is a 16MP AI camera. There is equally a fingerprint sensor at the middle. The device comes with 4GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB memory versions. It is fueled by a 5000mAh battery. The K3 has full Netcom, 4G support as well as dual SIM slots. It is available in Black and Blue colour options.

Apart from the M11/ M11s and this new K3, Gionee has also launched a Smart “Life” watch and the GBuddy powerbank and headphone. The Gionee F9 Plus was also launched in India within this month. Perhaps, it is safe to say Gionee is back and ready for business. As at 2016, the company was ranked as the 8th biggest smartphone maker in China with 22 million shipments but by December 2018, Gionee had already filed for bankruptcy. The company’s messy financials was attributed to the gambling habit of Gionee’s founder. There is likely new management onboard hence this ray of hope. We’ll be on the lookout for more details about the company’s new resurgence.

Gionee’s return to business last week brought not only a new phone but its first smartwatch, the Smart “Life” Watch which launched under its GBuddy line. Gionee has revealed it has more products coming under its GBuddy line.

The official Gionee India website says Gionee power banks are coming soon as well as wired and wireless headphones.

One of the Gionee GBuddy power banks shown on the site has a thick body, hinting at the use of 18650 Li-ion batteries. It has a textured design at the top and bottom for a strong grip when holding.

The power bank has two full-sized USB output ports with one having a power rating of 5W 1A and the other with a power output of 5V 2.4A. There is also a USB Type-C port that doubles as an input and an output port and has a power rating of 5V 3A. The last port is a MicroUSB input port with a 5V 2A power rating. There are four LED’s above the MicroUSB port to indicate battery level while a power button sits on the far left.

The second power bank has a much slimmer design. It has a white body with a glossy silver top that is home to two full-sized USB output ports and a MicroUSB input port. It also appears to have a LED torch.

The accessories page also teases a pair of wireless over-ear headphones with a 3.5mm audio jack just in case, a pair of wireless behind-neck in-ear headphones, and a pair of wired in-ear headphones.

Gionee says all the above-mentioned products are coming soon. So keep an eye out for them.

Gionee‘s return to the smartphone business has also kicked off in India with the launch of a new smartphone and a new smartwatch. We already covered the GBuddy Smart “Life” Watch which actually looks good and we hope we get to review. However, this post is for the new Gionee F9 Plus smartphone.

When it comes to design, the Gionee F9 Plus isn’t unique. It has a U-shaped notch, a bit of chin with the manufacturer’s name on it, and dual cameras on the rear. The back has a glossy finish and the phone is available in black and blue.

The F9 Plus packs a 6.26-inch HD+ (1520 x 720) Full View Dewdrop Notch Display that is covered with Dragontrail Glass and has a 19:9 aspect ratio. Inside the notch is a 13MP F2.0 AI camera with support for Face Unlock. Gionee also added a pretty nifty trick to the notch; allowing it to serve as a battery meter.

The phone is powered by a 1.65GHz octa-core processor that is paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Gionee has added a triple card tray which has space for 2 Nano SIMs and a MicroSD card (256GB max.).

The back is home to a 13MP F1.8 and 2MP F2.4 dual camera setup and a fingerprint scanner. The cameras are on the left and share the same housing with the LED flash. There is bokeh mode, night mode, and a beauty mode. You can also use the fingerprint scanner as a shutter button when taking selfies.

Inside the phone is a 4050mAh battery but there is no mention of fast charging. The Gionee F9 Plus runs Android 9 Pie out of the box but there is no mention of the skin on top. It has a MicroUSB port and an audio jack. There is also Dual VoLTE, 2.4GHz WiFi, and A-GPS.

[envira-gallery id=”276270″]

The Gionee F9 Plus is priced at INR 7,690 (~$108) which pits it directly against the Redmi 7 which is priced at INR 7,499 for the base model with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Gionee India says it will be available at retail partner stores and online stores but didn’t specify when.
