Not exactly the same thing, a phone can be an SAMOLED or IPS LCD screen type and still have Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top,which is just a protective glass on top of the said screen type..ALL Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy S series are ALL SAMOLED screen phones and ALL have Corning Gorilla Glass Screens too..
thanks for reducing my ignorance, I have learnt something new, waiting patiently for black Friday

I'd wanted to buy this phone last week when I went to finet mobile, but ended up buying M3mini because of the review. I still 've my eyes on the M5 of course and intend passing the mini over to someone, but would want to know, apart from the monster battery, 5.5 inch display and the remote functions, what other edge does it have over the M3mini. I 've followed this thread from page 1 and can't find that, someone should please school me.

You mean these 3 things are the only advantages of the M5 over the M3 mini you can decipher..ok,lets see ;
1,Better CPU..ie smoother UI
2,Better GPU..ie better Game playing ability
3,AMOLED screen..ie deeper blacks and rich saturated colors
4,Better camera
5,Better built quality
6, Bigger battery
7,Bigger screen
8,Better Aesthetics
9,Better support from Gionee
10,More third party ROMs
11,Corning Gorilla Glass Screen Protection
12,Bigger Ram
13,Higher internal storage
14,Higher external memory card capacity
15,Fast charge capability
16,Remote Control Functions
There,that will do..in other words there're reasons it's almost THREE times more expensive than the M3 mini..

Can I use M5 to charge other smartphones?
Re: Gionee M5 Discussion Thread[HOT] by adamyd: 9:11am On Nov 17, 2015
I bought this phone and it's really a good phone, but the problem is that i have the memory leak issue that come with androide 5.1
So application (like facebook,gmail ...or game like alphabetty, bananakong....) crash after few time of use. But don't worry the phone don't have any problem, it's the androide 5.1 lollipop version that come with that problem but not in all device...hope you're all lucky wink google said that the problem was solved in 5.1 but it's still there also some made repports that it's in the 5.1.1 version too..... Now i'm still waiting for an update or upgrade for the M5 phone to correct this androide problem.
