Having launched in China, these two handsets intend to handle a particularly sour note which plagued the original Marathon M5 – the lack of a fingerprint sensor. The Gionee Marathon M5 Plus might be a mid-range smartphone, but it lies on the high end side of things, where it has a Mediatek MT6753 chipset with an octa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, 64GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, a 6” Full HD AMOLED display and a 5,020mAh battery.
As for the Gionee Marathon M5 Enjoy, this will share similar hardware specifications as that of the original Gionee Marathon M5, except that it will come with a 5.5” 720p TFT display, a 5,000mAh power pack, and an 8MP camera as opposed to a 13MP shooter. Other than that, the Mediatek MT6735 chipset with a quad-core CPU will run the show, accompanied by 3GB of RAM and Android 5.1 Lollipop.
