The Gionee Marathon M4 draws its power from a 64-bit 1.3GHz quad core processor teamed with 2GB of RAM. The device comes with a 5-inch HD AMOLED display and runs on the Android 5.0 wrapped in the companies Amigo 3.0 UI. Camera department chapes up in the form of a 8-megapixel primary camera and a 5-megapixel secondary camera. Marathon M4 sports 16GB of internal memory along with an external memory card slot that can squeeze in an additional 32GB. The phone also features Gionee Hotknot which lets users exchange files by touching the screens of the devices. Gionee M4 supports dual-SIM and comes with the usual bevy of connectivity options. Gionee India GM, Mr Timir Acharyya said Gionee M4 is a great device for users primarily looking out for extended battery backup but the fact that Gionee is cutting out on the features end makes it a rather bleak choice. We wonder why would anyone spend nearly Rs 15,000 and settle for a phone that compromises on the hardware, instead buying a powerbank seems a more mature choice for us. Purely going with specs, Xiaomi Mi 4i and the Lenovo K3 Note offer a better value for money proposition. Also, the truly revolutionary Marathon M5, which was unveiled in June this year with a massive 6020mAh battery, should be coming soon to India as well.
