The Gionee Marathon M5 Lite, which was launched in China last month, is reportedly now available to purchase in India.

Only the Gold colour variant of the handset is available as of now, reports Phoneradar. While our offline retail sources report availability of the phone at the same launch price, we've reached out to Gionee to confirm the India launch and other details.

Like other members of the Marathon series, the highlight of the Gionee Marathon M5 Lite is its big battery. It is backed by a 4000mAh Li-Po battery, which is rated to deliver up to 40 hours of talk time, 68 hours of music playback, 3 days of regular use and 39 days of standby time. The handset can charge other smartphones as well.

The smartphone sports 16GB of built-in storage that can be expanded via microSD card (up to 128GB).

The model launched in India reportedly features 3GB of RAM, and 32GB on inbuilt storage, significantly higher on both fronts than the China version.
