Chinese smartphone maker Gionee, who reportedly filed for bankruptcy a couple of months ago, and steadily on the decline in a whimper has secretly launched the Gionee F205 Pro, a new budget smartphone in Indian market that seems to be a slightly upgraded version of last year’s Gionee F205, which was launched in India back in April.
Having seen off-industry issues skyrocket in the past year, a drastic loss in the market pool, and unarguably many expecting a point of no return for the Chinese smartphone giant, there might still be some tank left in the engine though.
