2K display, Snapdragon 801 CPU, $325 price tag: Meet the IUNI U3


OnePlus One’s ‘flagship killer’ status won’t stay for too long, it seems. Quite a few Chinese OEMs look keen on making phones that beat the OnePlus One, and IUNI is not just another one of those!

The Gionee sub-brand today announced its second phone ever, the IUNI U3. Succeeding the U2 is no mean feat, and from what we make, the U3 does it perfectly. It comes with cutting edge specs at a very nominal price point, something which is now starting to become the new stereotype for Chinese phones.

Unlike the U2, the device is expected to get a proper English ROM, which means that international customers will be catered to as well.
