7 Reasons Why Gionee Marathon M5 Plus Is the Only Smartphone You Need

Some of the biggest reasons to buy a new smartphone are performance, style, and battery life. Compared to the last few generations of devices, the current phones have improved immensely in this regard. However in a lot of phones, you'll probably get only two out of three of these.

But why settle for a phone that looks good but lasts a few hours or a phone that whizzes through apps but has you reaching for a charger with the entire day to go? If you're one of the many wishing for better battery along with modern day convenience and a smart set of features to go with it, the Gionee Marathon M5 Plus just might be what you're looking for.

Here are seven reasons why the Gionee Marathon M5 Plus is the only smartphone you need:

1) Big battery, bold looks
Although the Gionee Marathon M5 Plus sports a colossal 5020mAh battery, it doesn't come at the cost of aesthetics. Sporting a slim 8.4mm metal frame, it looks every bit as good as it feels to use. It measures a mere 160.9x81.2x8.4mm and weighs just 210.8 grams. It's available in Polar Gold and Champagne Gold options.

2) Pretty and powerful
Great looks and solid build quality aside, the Gionee Marathon M5 Plus has top of the line specifications as well. There's 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (expandable to 128GB via microSD card) along with an octa-core CPU that ensures that even the most demanding apps and games run smoothly. As for the connectivity, the smartphone supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v4.0, GPS, and USB Type-C. It also has a fingerprint sensor for enhanced security.

3) No more power banks
Most phones these days come with a battery that's between 2000mAh and 3000mAh, and that's where the Gionee Marathon M5 Plus stands out. It's packed with a whopping 5020 mAh battery that lets you go on for days without charging. So if you're playing games or watching videos, rest assured there's more than enough power to see you through that and a whole lot more. If the benefits of a 5020mAh battery aren't obvious, the Gionee Marathon M5 Plus comes with a generous 21 hours of talk time and a standby time of up to 619 hours.

4) Have complete control of your phone
While a 5020 mAh battery is great in itself, Gionee's Amigo OS goes a step further. With Amigo 3.1 you can tweak battery consumption to the minutest detail. These include controlling which apps run in the background via the Application Control List feature and Heartbeat Synchronisation Technology which lets you prioritises the time of network access of apps.

And if that's not enough, you can reduce battery consumption by 30 percent with the Amigo OS' Dark Theme function. This handy feature turns the UI to use a black background so your display uses less battery. What's more is Extreme Mode which takes the Gionee Marathon M5 Plus' battery life to another level, handy during emergencies. It's good enough to warrant it's own point. Which brings us to the next point.

5) Get through emergencies with extreme ease
Although a massive battery, quick charging, and a slew of optimisations are welcome, you may find yourself in situations such as travelling where you don't have access to a charger and your battery is running low. It's in these situations where Extreme Mode comes in handy. This mode only gives you access to basic features such as contacts, messages, calls, and messages. The end result is 30 hours of standby time on a mere 10 percent of battery.

6) Never worry about overheating
The Gionee Marathon M5 Plus sports dual charging chips. This divides the current passing through the phone equally. What this means is, you don't have to worry about your phone heating up while charging as you would with other models. Useful since Gionee bundles it with a 2 ampere charger that charges the M5 Plus completely in two hours flat.

7) Go to the movies
The Gionee Marathon M5 Plus isn't just big on battery, it's big on screen size too which makes it great for watching movies and videos. There's a six inch, full-HD AMOLED display with a high contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 and 178 degree wide viewing angle. With a 77.5 percent screen to body ratio it looks as good as the movies you're watching on it. And don't worry about the battery drain, the Marathon M5 Plus' screen is designed for low power consumption. Combine that with the big battery and you can have movie marathons no matter where you go.
