If we copy, then only the best. Gionee P50 Pro unveiled for $100, which looks like Huawei P50 Pro and iPhone 13 at the same time
Today we already wrote about the start of sales in China of the LeTV Y1 Pro smartphone, which is trying to resemble the iPhone 12, and now the Gionee P50 Pro has gone on sale in China, and the name itself contains a clue which model served as a source of inspiration for the creators of this model.
Indeed, the Gionee P50 Pro is desperately trying to be similar to the Huawei P50 Pro – a striking similarity can be seen in the design of the main camera. It is interesting that, at the same time, in the main camera of Gionee there is only one sensor – 13-megapixel. The remaining modules, it turns out, are props.
Well, on the iPhone 13, the novelty is similar from the face – a screen cutout. Although, in order to accommodate a single module with a 5-megapixel sensor, a waterdrop notch would be enough. But then he would be a smartphone like everyone else, and not the most current iPhone.
However, all jokes aside, the Gionee P50 Pro for its price (the cost of the basic version is only $100) is well equipped. There are stereo speakers, a USB-C port, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a standard headphone jack. The Gionee device has a platform in common with the LeTV Y1 Pro: both are built on the 12nm SoC Unisoc Tiger T310 (in its configuration, we recall, one Arm Cortex-A75 core with a frequency of 2.0 GHz and three Arm Cortex-A55 with a frequency of 1, 8 GHz). The screen is characterized by a diagonal of 6.51 inches and a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels.
The battery capacity was 3900 mAh, it supports 10 W charging. Device dimensions – 165 x 77.3 x 8.9 mm, weight – 211 grams.
Gionee P50 Pro is presented in three configurations. The base with 4 GB of RAM and 54 GB of flash memory is priced at the same $ 100. The cost of the 4/128 GB and 6/128 GB versions is $110 and $115, respectively.

Everything is heading towards the release of an iPhone without Dynamic Island and any cutouts or holes. LG Innotek is already preparing such a screen
LG Innotek has begun developing an advanced “under panel camera” (UPC) that has no visible lens hole. According to TheElec, such screens will be designed for full-screen iPhones without cutouts or holes.
UPC technology means that the camera lens is not visible when the camera application is not running. In this case, an image can be displayed above the camera area in an inactive state. UPC is also called under display camera (UDC).
Since the UPC camera is located below the display, the amount of light transmitted to the image sensor is less than that of a regular front camera module. Because of this structure, under-screen cameras do not produce very high-quality pictures and videos.
LG Innotek is developing a special lens called Freeform Optic to overcome the UPC limitations of not producing enough light. The patent states: “By using a Freeform Optic lens, the thickness of the peripheral lens can be controlled, thereby reducing optical system and optical module aberration (a phenomenon in which images are blurred due to the shape of the lens), as well as increasing the amount of light received. The image quality can be improved.”
Although LG Innotek has already begun development, the use of such displays in iPhones can only be expected after 2026, according to TheElec. Apple has reportedly already received UPC samples from other companies, but has rated their performance as unsatisfactory.
Apple is reportedly planning to place Face ID sensors under the screen before moving to UPC technology. Then the iPhone will have one round hole instead of the Dynamic Island.
