Every other day, we see a bunch of budget smartphones coming to India with good specs. The Gionee Marathon M5 Lite has some serious competition as it also falls in the budget smartphone segment.
Design and display
In terms of design, the Gionee M5 Marathon Lite smartphone is very similar to Gionee M5 smartphone. It comes with a regular metallic frame with curved edges. The one we got to review was dressed in gold. As far as port placements are concerned, the 3.5mm headset jack is placed at the top, while the micro-USB port is placed at the bottom.
The Gionee M5 Marathon Lite smartphone comes with a removable back with smooth metallic finish. At the back, users get an 8MP rear camera that sits at the top left corner with the LED flash. The Gionee branding is placed in the middle, while the loudspeaker is placed at the bottom.
Gionee came up with the Lite version of the Marathon M5 to capture the budget segment. But with all that it is offering, in terms of specs, it is difficult to recommend this phone fully. At Rs 12, 855, the smartphone is at par with the competition in terms of price range. But sadly, not so much in terms of performance.
