Battery life on smartphones still has a lot of room for improvement and Gionee’s fix for it is a 5000mAh cell which it has bundled with its Marathon M3 smartphone. With such a power pack, you can expect to be unplugged for a wall socket for as long as 2 days depending on usage.
According to official estimates from the company, the smartphone is capable of delivering up to 51 hours and around 32.46 hours of 2G and 3G talk time, respectively, or 32.8 days of standby. This is surely impressive, but there’s no mention of how long it’ll take for the cell to get full charged.
Thanks to the huge battery, the Gionee Marathon M3 places itself as a great pick for social networking, watching videos or just browsing the web. But it isn’t much if you plan on some demanding gaming. The processor here is a measly 1.3GHz quad core one based on the Cortex A7 and there’s 1GB of RAM onboard.
