The Gionee Marathon M5 Lite has arrived in India, roughly a month after the handset was launched in China. The phone can be obtained in exchange of Rs 12999 and is currently available via the company’s official online store.
The Indian variant of the Gionee Marathon M5 Lite has been blessed with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM, a significant step up from the 1GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM the international version ships with. The new device is a more affordable version of its predecessor with a few downgrades in terms of battery power, camera and screen.
First off, the Marathon M5 Lite packs a smaller capacity 4000mAh battery which is supposed to last for 450 hours of standby time and 32.7 hours of talk time. The handset also functions as a powerbank and is able to supply power to other devices via a reverse charging OTG cable.
