Gionee M5 Marathon Plus Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ketaki Bhojnagarwala]()
Verdict
Gionee has tried really hard to make the Marathon M5 Plus a desirable option in the big-battery segment. And in many ways, the company has succeeded. The metal body, fingerprint sensor, stunning display, good battery life and decent cameras work in its favour. There are some caveats though, namely in the slightly sluggish performance and location of the fingerprint sensor. The 6-inch screen size also weeds out a chunk of the user base, and we can’t help but feel that the M5 Plus would have
Pros
- Premium metal build
- Great battery life
- Decent cameras
- Responsive fingerprint sensor
Cons
- 6-inch screen is a tad too big
- A few lags in performance
- Expensive
