Gionee K3 Pro With Triple Rear Cameras, 4,000mAh Battery Launched

Gionee K3 Pro has quietly launched in China as the latest offering from the company. Gionee officially filed for bankruptcy in 2018 but later returned with a few new phones and smartwatches last year. The launch of this new Gionee K3 Pro suggest that the company is not shuttering down its business completely, as of yet. The phone unfortunately runs on the dated Android 9 Pie and has a rather unique fingerprint scanner placement at the back. It comes with a waterdrop-style notch and a triple rear camera setup.
