the fashion series of Gionee fones is a new one and they will be releasing fones with the F letter just like M2 of marathon series, P4 of Pioneer series, E7 of the E series, S5.1 of the S series and CTRL V5 of the CTRL series. The F103 is the first in the fashion series so I think Gionee may introduced it later to Nigerian market.

The talking point of this device is the battery backup which feature's a 6020mah backup capacity and of course it has FAST CHARGE CAPABILITY (IT took me just 2hrs:20 minutes to get the device fully charged from 0% to 100%) and it took the device 12hrs to melt down from 100% to 7% on FULLY HEAVY USAGE MODE I.e brightness at 25%...........


Please exactly how does 25% brightness translate to a part of HEAVY USAGE. Heavy usage is supposed to go with at the least a 70% brightness.

If a 6020mah battery perfomed only 12hrs of heavy usage at 25% brightness then the performance is not impressive at all. That means the phone software and hardware are not well tuned and optimised to conserve power. A well tuned and optimised phone will even provide more than 12hrs heavy usage at 3000mah battery.

To be honest, I don't have the power to do a review... But what I can say is it's a wonderful phone in almost all ways... Especially the camera... The front camera is amazing, even in the night.

However, one of the major trips for me that made me rush to buy this phone was the colossal battery capacity -a whooping 6020mah battery. You would expect that such a battery would last for atleast 24hours even on heavy usage...UNFORTUNATELY THIS ISNT SO.

I charged the phone to a 100percent around 9:38pm. I didn't play videos, I didn't listen to songs, I didn't download nothing... The only "major" power usage was the hotspot. So I used it to chat from 10pm til 4am. As at 4am it was already at 60percent

As at 5pm On the same day, it had gotten to 2percent.

So in summary from 9:30pm on Tuesday to 5pm on Wednesday it had drained from 100% to 2%. Personally for me I find this to be a very distasteful development because all my mind was "I go use this phone play game tire"

Since the battery is literally two 3000mah stacked together, I don't know if maybe I've been using only one of the batteries....but If truly a 6000mah battery can last barely 12hours with moderate usage... then it's quite dissapointing to say the least.

I've used a Gionee M2 before and in terms of battery...Gionee M2 destroys this Gionee M5

Every other thing about the phone is on point... No lagging, very easy on the eyes UI, Impressive body build etc. But if you're buying the M5 because you think you can use it for a whole day without charging. You will be dissapointed.

I think Gionee got it wrong with this one, they have a good record of producing phones with long lasting battery. A 6000mah battery should last more than 12hrs even on heavy usage because my Gionee M2 mini with 3000mah battery last for at least 20hrs on moderate usage.

I think they did too....I used Gionee M2 in the first half of last year and the battery was superb ...I never had issues with battery zapping down with moderate usage.

Since my initial post.... My battery is now at 68 percent.

I don't even want to think of it so that I won't get annoyed. I've bought the phone...in the next six months, I'll change it.

For those of you bashing the ba3 performance of m5, i don't know what you were expecting when buying the phone but you should have known by now that the bigger the screen, the much the ba3 is consumed, i have the phone and am not regretting buying it so don't discourage others.
