The Gionee Marathon M5 Plus had initially arrived in India last month, with the company choosing not to reveal its availability details at the time. The brand has now officially announced that the phone will be exclusively sold online via e-commerce site Flipkart. It’s also vending the phone via offline outlets across the country.
The Gionee Marathon M5 Plus can be bought in exchange of Rs 26999 through both online and offline retailers. However, Flipkart is offering the handset with a special exchange scheme which promises to pay up to Rs 15000 for a potential buyer’s old phone. This effectively brings the price of the new smartphone down to Rs 11999.
The main topic of discussion when it comes to the Marathon M5 Plus is its massive 5020mAh battery. While the powerhouse’s capacity is lower than the original version’s gargantuan 6020mAh battery setup, the brand has compensated for the reduction by showering it with a much bigger 6-inch full HD screen, more expansive 64GB internal storage, faster octa-core processor, and a fingerprint scanner.
