More than 6 years have gone since the first Gionee M3 was released, and the company is back with a 2021 refresher, which can be considered as an effort to boost sales by using nostalgia as a motivator. The key question is whether the 2021 Gionee M3 can live up to its 2014 predecessor’s reputation as a good value for money.
Many years have gone by since the first-generation Gionee M3, so it goes without saying that we should expect a modern design thanks to all of the advancements in the smartphone design business.
The M3 in 2021 may not have a world-class design, but it does have a significant difference from its 2014 predecessor.
Taking a look at the front panel, we can see that a lot of bezels have been removed, leaving us with a near-bezels design with a drop notch. This panel has a 6.53-inch IPS LCD display, which is larger than its predecessor’s 5.0-inch display.
A resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a density of roughly 269 PPI are the highlights of this display.
On the back, we get a prominent gradient design with Gionee branding, indicating that this is a Gionee smartphone. A camera module in the shape of a nonagon is also available. The main features of this module are four cameras and an LED flash.
Those interested in purchasing this smartphone will be able to choose from four color options: Black, Green, Sky, and Gray.
