The Gionee Marathon M5 is arriving in India on November 24, with the manufacturer holding an event in Bangalore for the unveiling. It’s landing here a few months after getting launched in China, where it was priced at CNY 2299 (roughly Rs 23835).
The main highlight of the Gionee Marathon M5 is its 6020mAh battery combo, comprised of two 2010mAh batteries. The brand promises the setup ensures the phone lasts for 4 days on a single charge. It’s additionally equipped the handset with an extreme mode which can guarantee a standby time of 62 hours out of just 5% of power.
The Marathon M5 also supports fast and reversible charging. While the former delivers 2.5 hours of talk time out of 5 minutes of charging, the latter allows users to utilize it as a powerbank for up to 2 other devices at the same time. Moving on to other specs, the 4G-ready handset runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop and contains 16GB of ROM, expandable up to 128GB.
