Gionee spin off brand IUNI are planning to launch a big screen phone according to marketing material.
IUNI were once a promising brand with some rather cool phones like the U2 with amazing metal body and stunning rear camera, and the U3 which packed in a powerful chipset, large battery and 2K display for a low 1999 Yuan price point.
The company has gone under some change since those days with the old management leaving and a new team coming in, but is looks like those cities with Gionee are still there.
Gizchina News of the week
Apparently the new big screen device from IUNI could be just a rebadged Gionee M5 Plus with 5020mAh battery, 3GB RAM, 64GB internal memory, and 1.3Ghz octacore processor.
Pricing could be around 1499 Yuan says Chinese media which is a disappointment when you think this will be a midge MT6753 phone were as the U3 was a Snapdragon power house for only slightly more.
I got all excited by the title until I read the article. How many rebrands are we gonna get of Gionee phones.
I am with Rob I was excited until I read “rebadged Gionee M”. IUNI always did their own thing apart from Gionee, last thing we need is another Gionee rebrand. Blu and Allview (among others) do enough of that.
