Summary
- The Gionee Marathon M5 Plus features a robust build with a 6.0-inch AMOLED display at 1080 x 1920 pixels, offering better pixel density compared to the Tecno Spark 5 Air's larger 7.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1640 pixels.
- In terms of performance, the Gionee is powered by an octa-core Mediatek MT6753 chipset and has 3GB of RAM, while the Tecno uses a quad-core chipset with 2GB of RAM, indicating superior multitasking capability for the Gionee.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera, but the Tecno offers a higher aperture of f/1.8, which may enhance low-light performance, and it has an 8 MP selfie camera compared to the Gionee's 5 MP.
- Battery capacity is slightly higher in the Gionee at 5020 mAh versus 5000 mAh in the Tecno, but both lack fast charging.
- The Gionee runs on Android 5.1 with Amigo 3.1, while the Tecno operates on the more recent Android 10 (Go edition) with HIOS 6.0, providing a more updated software experience.
