Gionee Marathon M3 Review

Score: 51.6 / 100

Gionee Marathon M3 is a mid-to-low level Android phone released back in the year 2014, packed with a quite big 5" screen, an extremely powerful Quad-Core processing unit running at 1300 megahertz, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera.

Gionee decided to build this phone using a MediaTek MT6582 system chip, including a high speed Quad-Core processor speeding at 1300 MHz and only 1 GB of RAM which is a little poor for a phone of this level. An interesting feature of this phone is its 8 GB quite large internal storage memory and an external SD slot, enough to install hundreds of applications and games without running out of space.

Gionee is offering this device in color 16 777 216. It seems like Gionee decided not to care so much about the weight in this 6.36 oz phone. This cellphone is quite thin, but it's not so thin as many other phones currently available, with a thickness of 0.41". This phone is only 5.69 inches long and 2.81 inches wide, but it manages to hold a 5" screen.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera. The Gionee Marathon M3 also films videos up to 1280x720 (HD).

Gionee packed this phone with a interesting 5-inches display, and a resolution of 720 x 1280 (HD), which makes everything look colorful and brightful.

The Gionee Marathon M3 counts with wifi connectivity (but it can't provide it to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot). This cellphone doesn't use a sim card, because it is not a GSM cellphone.

The Gionee Marathon M3 also comes with a couple of useful features as Bluetooth (Yes ), GPS Geolocation and Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone packs a high capacity 5000 mAh Li - Polymer battery, enough to provide this phone with a great battery duration.

The Gionee Marathon M3 includes Battery, Travel Charger , Data Cable, Flip Cover, User Guide and Screen Protector.
