In the smartphone world, the Gionee Company has had its fair share of impact. The Gionee M6 Lite is another example of such impact when it was announced as a successor to the M6 and M6 Plus which were the flagship phones for the year 2016. The M6 Lite is a downgraded version of the Gionee M6 and M6 Plus and it comes in a metallic back design with narrow bezels on the sides. In spite of its downgrade from M6, it still comes with an advanced encryption feature, the latest security application that secures your phone.
