Phantom 5 by far. 1080p vs 720p,(that gionee screen is a deal breaker for me, I wonder why they keep putting 720p on a 5.5 inch phone and still sell it expensive), 3gb of ram vs 2gb, fingerprint scanner, better build quality. Just put it like this, Phantom 5 is flagship phone while the m5 sold in Nigeria is mid range.

I'd like to have u know that all these specs u mentioned equates to M5 specs. Except, of course, the fingerprint sensor.

Tecno's 3gb can actually be a genuine 1.5gb RAM. Can u compare an advanced interface like Amigo to whatever it is Tecno uses?

Infrared Sensor for IR booster.
A better and standard ba3 life
General functionality
Infact if Fingerprint thingy interests u that much, u can also do that with M5 using an app that utilizes its brilliant Auto focus. Yeah, it might take longer than Phantom's but it still plays the same role.

It's been long since I argued with someone online. *Shows u a seat* and hey, here's an M5 to type in ur statement cuz phantom won't be able to handle the heat

the specs are not the same. Do u wanna deny that Gionee M5 has a screen resolution of 720x1280 pixels with 267 ppi while Phantom 5 has a resolution of 1080x1920 and 401 ppi. That one alone is a dealbreaker for me, I can't imagine having 720p display on a 5.5 inch, the ppi of phantom 5 almost doubles that of the M5. The M5 sold in Nigeria also has 2gb of ram while Phantom 5 has 3gb of ram. Please tell me does a 5.5 inch phone with 720p display and 2gb of Ram look like a flagship phone for 2015? Plus the M5 has 1.5ghz quad core whille Phantom 5 has 1.5ghz octacore processor.. they both use the same mediatek 6735 so it is obvious Phantom 5 is the better phone.

The only area the M5 triumps is in battery, but that also makes the phone thicker. Flagship phones don't need to come with monster batteries, the Galaxy s6, HTC one M9, Sony Experia Z5, LG G4, Xiaomi mi 5 etc all have less than 3,200mah battery. Also the back of the M5 is made of plastic while Phantom 5 is made of metal. I know the M5 has this metal look but it is actually plastic, just like Innjoo deceive us with plastic case and paint it to look like metal.

Just so u know, I don't use Tecno, but I appreciate a good phone. I will use whatever phone that suits my needs. I don't use any Tecno phone but if I am to choose one between the 2 and price is no problem, I will choose the Phantom 5 over and over.

I love Gionee, but I had to go for Meizu M2 Note, cuz of the screen quality and I don't regret it.

I don't like arguing with people online but I think I should contribute here. Sometimes u don't have to believe the phone specs as said by the manufacturer. Am not using any of the phone but I believe gionee specs more than tecno. I uses gionee splus and av not seen any tecno phone Camera that beats the back 13mp of the splus.

This is not a true question
First.. They are not of same specifications
Second.. They are not of same price
..
But for the sake of the topic and the OP
..
On paper.. Phamtom 5 wins with a TKO
On actual usage.. M5 triumphs
..
First.. I have done a side by side comparison of the Phantom 5 and M5
M5 has a better desplay.. Upon all the FHD 401ppi.. It's just Tecno's thing to have a washed display (problem must be from the company who produce their screens)
M5 has better camera both rare and selfie.. No need to stress this point too much.. Walk into a slot and do the comparison "seeing is believing abi"
M5 adds a better advantage of superb battery life.. Of curse Gionee is known for that
Durability.. They would both drag on that but
M5 is international standard.. International known OEM which Tecno lacks thats why you wouldn't find andything "TECNO" in the tech world like AndroidAuthority, GSMARENA or GIZCHINA
So I give it to M5 on durability..!
Other features like the gorilla glass 3 for protection, secondary mic, IR BLASTER is also a plus for the M5

..
All and all OP
Am not sure its worth breaking the bank on Phamtom 5 with just a finger print as an advantage when you can get the Apple of china "Xiaomi Redmi Note 3" with better specs than both device listed above and even cheaper..!
..
Google.. YouTube.. Slot.. Make your research.. Make your decision..! smiley

The phantom 5 is better than the M5. The Gionee has an IR blaster, the fingerprint scanner on the Phantom5 to me, is more important. A shitty 1080p screen, is better than a 720p. Same processor? Same Clock speed? more cores win. Ram size doesn't make much difference, how the OEMs tweak their hardware and software to handle tasks is the important thing. But having an extra GB of unused ram, is okay. The Gionee has a big battery though, suited for a zoo.

Please someone should remember that with the M5 720p display, it also features an amoled screen which equates it to a normal 1080p screen resolution.

This is not true. There is no way a 720p display will be better than a 1080p display of same screen size even if the 720p is amoled. If u think that is the case then why does Samsung who are the king of super amoled use qhd (higher res than 1080p) on their flagship phones. They should have used 720p now since it is super amoled. If u have ever used a qhd phone or even 1080p u will know what I'm saying. Having a 720p on a 5.5 inch phone in 2015 is unacceptable unless the phone is an entry level phone. The m5 is no way near phantom 5 and it is obvious gionee target the mid range market for this phone while phantom 5 is moving towards a flagship device. The last time Samsung used 720p on their flagship phone was with the galaxy s3 back in 2012 and the display is still better than that of gionee m5 because it is a 4.8 inch screen vs 5.5 inch of the m5.
