Gionee Marathon M5 Specs and Photos

Gionee has actually packed two 3010 mAh battery cells in the Marathon M5, both of which are charged simultaneously with the help of dual charging chips, therefore your phone won't take a huge time to charge. Moreover, the company says that even with just 5% power left, it can run upto 62 hours on standby and you can charge other devices with a USB OTG cable.

Given the massive battery, the Gionee M5 is still quite petite at 8.5mm, weighing in at 214 grams. If you want to pick one for yourself, the Gionee Marathon M5 is now available in India exclusively through Flipkart priced at Rs. 17,999 in gold, white and black colors.
