Comparisons Featuring Gionee Marathon M4
Short Review
- The Gionee Marathon M4 features a sturdy build with dimensions of 144.7 x 71.2 x 10.2 mm and a weight of 176g, available in black and white.
- It sports a 5.0-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for everyday tasks but may struggle with intensive applications.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording and a 5 MP front camera for selfies.
- The device is powered by a robust 5000 mAh battery, ensuring extended usage without frequent recharging.
- It runs on Android 5 (Lollipop) with Gionee's Amigo 3 interface, offering a unique user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0, but it lacks 5G support and NFC.
- The absence of wireless charging is notable, as is the lack of stereo speakers.
- Overall, the Gionee Marathon M4 is designed for users prioritizing battery life and basic functionality.
