Gionee M5 - World's First Dual-battery Phone Running On Andriod 5.1 Lollipop by Jedix(op): 10:49am On May 28, 2015

Smartphone batteries aren't always what they could be, but Chinese manufacturer Gionee appears to have found a reasonable solution with its latest handset.

The Gionee M5 is the world's first Android Lollipop smartphone with two batteries, which are said to be capable of sustaining it for up to 96 hours.

Each power cell has a capacity of 3,000mAh, and users can charge one up while the other is powering the phone, swapping them over when the need arises.
The device's other hardware specs are typical of a mid-range offering - a 5.5-inch 720p AMOLED screen, a quad core 1.3GHz processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
Battery life is the biggest selling point for the phone, but that extra runtime comes at a cost, with the Gionee M5 measuring in at a bulky 152 x 176 x 8.6mm and tipping the scales at 213g, more than twice that of the iPhone 6 Plus.
Gionee is yet to confirm which markets the phone will be released in or how much it will cost.
