Gionee Marathon M5 Plus And M5 Enjoy Launched by safo99(m): 10:45pm On Dec 21, 2015 |
Gionee's Marathon series of big-battery-packing
smartphones was just expanded with the addition of
the Marathon M5 Plus and the Marathon M5 Enjoy.
Launched today in China, the two smartphones
address one notable omission from the original
Marathon M5's specsheet - the fingerprint sensor.
GIONEE MARATHON M5 Plus
The Gionee M5 Plus sits on top of the series and
leans towards a higher segment of the midrange. The
smartphone comes with a significantly more
powerful (though not record breaking) Mediatek
MT6753 chipset with an octa-core CPU. There is 3GB
of RAM on board, same as the M5, but built-in
storage has been doubled to 64GB, and you can
further expand it by up to 128GB via microSD.
Trading-off cell capacity for screen size, the new Plus-
size model comes with a 6-inch FullHD AMOLED
display and "only" 5,020mAh worth of juice, where
the M5’s specsheet reads 5.5 inches, 720p, and
6,020mAh. The smartphone measures 160.9 x 81.2 x
8.4mm, which is reasonably compact for the screen
and battery size, and weighs in at 208g – 3g lighter
than the 5.5-inch M5.
The 13MP primary camera on the back comes with
phase detection autofocus and a single LED flash,
while the front-facer is a 5MP unit. There’s a
fingerprint sensor on the front in place of the
capacitive home key of other Gionee models. Fast
charging is supported and is done via a reversible
Type-C connector, though it only adheres to the USB
2.0 standard.
The smartphone supports multi-band 2G/3G and LTE,
as well as Bluetooth 4.0 and runs on Android 5.1
Lollipop with the company’s Amigo OS overlay on
top, in its 3.1 incarnation. Priced at CNY 2,499 ($385),
the Gionee Marathon M5 Plus is available for
purchase right now.
GIONEE MARATHON M5 ENJOY
Alongside the M5 Plus, Gionee announced the
Marathon M5 Enjoy – a smartphone similarly
specced to the original M5. However, you better be
careful when choosing between the two, as different
compromises have been made, potentially affecting
user experience.
For starters, the M5 Enjoy’s display is a TFT unit,
whereas the M5 had an AMOLED panel, though both
are 5.5-inch 720p units. Battery capacity is in favor of
the M5, as the M5 Enjoy comes with a 5,000mAh
power pack, and not 6,020mAh. And instead of the
13MP primary camera, the M5 Enjoy only comes with
an 8MP snapper. Where the new model trumps the
old one is the inclusion of a fingerprint scanner.
There rest is mostly the same – a Mediatek MT6735
chipset with a quad-core CPU, 3GB of RAM and
Android 5.1 Lollipop. Internal storage has been sliced
halved to 16GB, but is still expandable. The Marathon
M5 Enjoy is more modestly priced, compared to the
Plus, and goes for CNY 1,999 ($310).
