  • Pros: Solidly built ( I dropped it a few times, nothing happened), great battery life..(2 days) Cons: A little heavy, sound is VERY LOW. I can barely hear it ringing. I cant play music from the phone too as nobody is able to hear it!

  • am tired of waiting for OS update on this phone...seem i will have to change my phone..but aside this the phone is superb and battery still ok ....pls if there is anything you could do to help with the OT or custom rom..will appreciate..my e mail is [email protected] you...GSM arena still the best....will appreciate if we could get a link to mail the gionee company engineers directly ....thanks

  • The battery size is the best thing on this one. Though there's most probably no chance of an OS update. I doubt Gionee will release some new OS for this model. Also the support is basically non existent. And there are flaws in stability, it hangs and reboots quite often for my taste. I like this phone for the battery, dual-SIM slot and card slot (although my 256GB card goes unreadable after each reboot), but should I make a decision on buying it again, I would most probably pass and pick something else from a more reliable vendor, like Samsung, Asus, Lenovo, anything with a better support and OS update possibility.

  • Hey....my camara in gionee m5 light is invisible or not working..... what should i do?

  • Settings, sound and vibration, notification ringtone, then select your preferred one (even from your memory card)

  • When you connect it to a laptop or computer. Go to your phone, pull down the top icons notification. You will see various option for the phone, the default however is CHANGING, change it to file transfer. Have u tried that?

  • Are you using the charger that came with it? Maybe the wrong charger has messed the battery up

  • Did you get as a new phone or fairy used?

  • Go to settings, Dual sim settings, click on the number of the SIM port, I. E 1 or 2. Look at the top, you will see a radio button to turn on or turn off

  • I think yours is the Mini version. Gionee M5 Mini

  • gionee M5 matathon has a good battery life and it's indeed but but my front camera which is 8MP is far much better than the back Camera which is 13MP, the picture quality is very poor and it's the only problem I can sense from the phone, indoor snapshots is even worse but the front camera is very cool. what could be the issue with the back camera?

  • My Gionee marathon m5 screen light blinks while diming it really affecting my eye . pls what do i do

  • Hello. I'm having problem of frequent reboot on this phone about about 30 minutes each. It disrupt whatever I'm doing. I'm getting disturbed. Kindly help.

  • they copied all iphone about that, but they are not Apple, if something goes.wrong just throw th device away since it may become dangerous

  • Battery non-removable? What happens if the battery goes bad? Does it mean that the moment d battery goes bad, the phone is condemned?

  • i have screen problem how can i resolve that?

  • I cant received calls ... once someone is calling its goes off and reboot.... without showing you who was calling

  • I am having serious network issues. I can't even watch a video on any social media. this phone is f***ed. @M5+

  • Am having similar issue, is not storing app in the SD card, please help out.

  • Yes i also had problem regarding its vibrator.. I got its ic changed

  • So GIONEE M5 cannot is not amenable or compatible with SD card ? So why the provision for installation >?

  • My findings after 2 months of heavy usage of Gionee M5 (1) Battery life is quite good but not anywhere near what is promised and advertised, I was disappointed with it its battery life as it doesn't last too long like was promised. (2) Phone hangs a lot during heavy downloading from Google play store and browsers, but it plays most graphic intensive games very well without issues. (3)Gold colour looks and appears much polished and attractive than other colours. (4) Camera quality is quite good even in the dark but not the best out there. (5) Sound quality through good earphones is very very neat, loud and clear, probably due to the DTS sound engine built into the default music and video player, however note that u won't get the DTS sound effect and quality if u use 3rd party audio and on players. But the external speaker is not loud enough and tends to suppress sound a lot though it has some little bass when songs are being played through it. (6) Unboxing packaging contents is quite rich and of high quality, though the supplied earphone in my unit developed fault in just 3 weeks of using it even though I was very careful in handling it but it is a general problem with most wired earphones, they hardly last beyond few months. (7) For those complaining about keyboard sound or voice feedback while typing simply u install the default keyboard and download many other far better keyboards at the Google play store. (8) One major disappointments and frustration I have with Gionee M5 is that lack or inability to move apps and games to the Micro SD Memory Card, I have the version with 16GB Rom with 2GB RAM and my internal memory is already filled up while I still need to install a lot of games and apps from the play store, I have tried everything to move my apps and games to Micro SD but it's just not possible unless Gionee releases a firmware update to address the issue. (9) The phone looks and feels quite premium and sturdy, it is heavy too. (10) The default carefree launcher crashes a lot but u can try Apus Launcher which is far better, faster, more fluid and much more featured. (11) The screen quality is quite impressive and good, I have always been a fan to Amoled displays which clearly and obviously is superior and better than other types of displays but Gionee should have made the M5 display Full HD instead of just 720p, this would have the screen display quality to be excellent. (12) USB on the Go feature is a very good and rare feature, it reads and support most kinds of Flash drives and external disks including mobile phones and PDAs. (13) Infrared remote is a very special uncommon feature that let's u control almost any device that supports remote controlling. (14) Overall the phone is quite feature packed for its price range and it is also of very high quality, in my experienced opinion I think it is much better than many other less known brands. (15) Finally anybody buying the Gionee M5 should have it in mind that there is likely not going to be any update of any kind coming to the phone, that means u are likely to be stuck to Android 5.1 and Amigo 3.1 unless there is a miracle some day. If u have any questions for me concerning the Gionee M5 or any other phone at all which you want to buy or have already bought then contact me on +2348033703915 or email me at [email protected], I will try my best to solve your problems and answer your questions as I am quite good with mobile technology.

  • I m facing similar problem

  • Is there really a Cynogen mode available for this phone??? If YES, plz can I av d link? THANKS

  • Install Cyanogenmod.

  • Dear Gionee, Plz we bought this phone after u guys hyped d phone that it can do soooooooooooooo many things. But less than a year later, even less costlier phones like Gionee S plus now av Marshmallow updates, while we keep on using this OUTDATED lollipop. Even cheaper Infinix phones now come with Marshmallow out of d box. Please don't make us regret buying this phone. Thanks. Yours Sincerely. Frustrated Gionee M5 user

  • I will advice you to never install apps on SDcard. Sometimes apps widget and lunchers tends to crash down memory cards which will lead to lost of files or data. Trust me, you don't want to experience that too. There's a reason why the company made the apps to be installed only on storage memory.

  • Give us update Android 6.0 update for M5. Gionee is expensive and less useful

  • can support wireless charging ????

  • I can't read messages on my device. It indicates that the number of messages received but wouldn't open

  • To turn off the keyboard voice feedback : goto settings n navigate to advanced settings n goto accessibility n den turn off all added apps like speed+engine, DU battery saver or 360 battery saver n all will b fine.

  • Please, I was unable to download any app on my Gionee M5. Thanks

  • having network problem

  • My gionee m5 can not be charged any longer when it is on, but I can manage to charge it when it is off. It vibrates at its will. Any body with technical solution please?

  • I am facing vibration issue in gionee m5 lite. Please suggest what to do.

  • I'm using xiaomi mi 5 and have used mi4i in past. It's definitely there as a facility. Dialed or received calls, not in contacts, do show up as you type numbers.

  • There should be option which is included in samsung and xiomee. If you have dialed any unknown number once, you don't need to dial fully again as it's in your call log...but this facility is not found in this phone... very basic facility...

  • Hi For the external micro sd card i am using a kindston 64GB it s work fine with my M5 using indian rom

  • Does any body also have vibration issue in Gionee M5???? I have a problem where vibration sometimes works sometimes does not work. Any advice or help will be very helpful.

  • Pls dear my own broke and I don't know where to change it

  • i want to ask is this phone supporting Arabic language or no?

  • pls what is the app in play store for moving games and apps to SD card in Gionee M5?...pls help...reply through my mailbox [email protected]

  • You should search up in settings: language & input / android keyboard / advanced/ keypress sound volume

  • The phone is good in general. But in the specification it is given it will accept sd card upto 256 gb. But it does not take more than 32 gb.I tried with 64 gb.It doesnot respond and showed in storage "No sim card".I tried various brands of 64 gb card.the result is the same.I am using it for the past six months. Other than this sd card problem the phone is fine. Now I am using it in USA .It works fine. Since I take a lot of tennis videos for coaching the sd card capacity is not sufficient for me .Still I am using it because of its good performance. I will be thankful if I get any tech suggestion to Improve the capacity of the sd card.

  • I just bought this phone a few days ago, prior to that i read extensive reviews and user opinions about other Mid Range phones i had in mind like Ulephone Power, Xiaomi Mi Max and Infinix Zero 3, am the type of person that is very choosy about the type of phone i buy for my personal use, so i always do very deep research about any phone i want before buying it, i have very good amount of knowledge of mobile technology so i dont just enter the market and but any phone i see, though i wanted the Xiaomi Mi Max very badly i couldnt get my hands on it because i only found it on online stores and they always request for bank or online payment before sending the phone to me which i found not ok for me, everything about the online site looked real but many people have been scammed in the past using such online sales method where they request for payment even before u see the product, I finally decided to go for Gionee M5, 3 things made me choose this phone at the dying minute ,first is the outrageously long lasting battery life, it outlasts any mobile phone or tablet built till date in terms of battery life, the second is the Brilliant Amoled screen display though its not Full HD(just 720p) but the colours it reproduces are still very nice, deep, clear and sharp, then finally it comes with Infrared remote control hardware built in which allows u to control almost any electronic device like TV, Air conditioners, Decoders, Dvd etc....and i forgot to mention it comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which means the screen(even without any sort of screen protector) is very hard to scratch or break except in extreme circumstances... But i currently have just 2 problems with my Gionee M5, first is that i cant seem to turn off the keyboard voice feedback, i will turn it off but it will automatically turn itself on again to my greatest annoyance, then secondly i cant seem to find any option on how to move my games and apps to the SD Card, can anyone help out pls? ....=-O

Has anybody facing this problem? Is it hardware issue or software issue?

  • reverse charging means it can be used to charge other devices .

  • You can use the phone as an external battery pack to charge other devices.

  • Its very Ok for me, but my charger got burnt and I don't know what to do or should I take it to the office. Please I need answers

  • All gionee phones are noway good. They all have a low ram and very bad picture quality except the battery life. But what is the use of battery life when phone does not work good. So i would only say not to buy any any gionee cellphone. If you want a phone for a better performance and other features like good battery, camera, better picture quality etc. then you have a option of phones like Samsung and Microsoft but don't buy any gionee phone!!!

  • Dont buy any of the gionee products their products are of very bad quality servicing is also very very bad the workers in the servicing center is irresponsible and if they try to correct any error it will lead to some other issues.if you buy any gionee product your life will be waste by visiting the service center regularly. I have brought a gionee s7 fone and within 3 months its motherboard got damaged,after fixing it i got it from the service center with issues in sim slot,when they fixed it display error started,after fizing that cam got damaged.I am fed up with the regular visits to the service center and mingling with the people there who dont even have common sence.same happend to my friend also.the fone model i dont know but errors occured regularly.many of my friends relatives etc shared the bad experiences they and their friends had by the use of gionee fones.these are of bad quality.they cant even provide best servicing then how can we trust ???so friends pls dont buy gionee and get cheated

  • Please don't review Gionee m5 lite on a Gionee m5 thread, post your comments in the correct thread, U bought a different phone from d one being discussed in here.

  • Hahahaha Gionee m5 is not the worst mobile, it's actually a decent phone with a huge battery life, but you can wait for Gionee M6 which will be launched on 26th July this month, it's gonna come with a snapdragon 650 and 4gb ram.

  • Gionee m5 lite is the worst phone I have ever used. Very poorly designed UI . Main function of phone is calling and goonge fails miserably. Very long process to locate contacts and call. No swipe for call or message. Very poor customer support. Gets hot quickly. Poor signal catching. I made a big mistake in buying gionee

  • My m5 has a problem with rotation. While playing videos with in-built player and playing certain games which need landscape mode my phone fails to rotate. (note: even while auto rotation is on)

  • The international version of the Gionee m5 doesn't support the moving of apps to sd card, the Indian version of the Gionee m5 on the other hand supports the moving of apps to sd card, the only option for you is to flash the Indian rom of the Gionee m5 into your phone using the software Xp flash, you can download the Indian gionee m5 rom from this link,

  • cant move application on phone to micro SD kindly help

  • GIONEE S5. 5 is not faster than the Gionee M5, it's an average slim phone with a poor battery life and low internal phone memory without a memory card slot.... Gionee m5 might be quad core but it's a 64 bit cpu which one core of it has double the performance of a 32 bit core of the Gionee S5. 5. So in normal usage Gionee m5 is 2 times faster than the Gionee S5.5

  • I have same issue with mine, old how do I go about it?

  • This may sound silly or foolish but anyway can any1 tell me hw to change my m5lite lock screen??

  • I had the same issue with play store. Was stuck there for some time but finally my issue is resolved. Follow the instructions here... Don't forget to clear the cache of the "google play service" also.

  • I bought my Gionee m5 immediately after I was robbed off my Gionee elife s5.5. Honestly, I missed it so much because it's super faster than m5. Gionee m5 is very slow possibly because of its Quad core CPU instead of Octa core. Still need gionee s5.5

  • The reason is because inefficient chinese hardware and software which produces higher than expected battery consumptions. I never recommend buying chinese devices.

  • its waste. not giving battery life as expected.

  • Slow

  • It can download from playstore and any store . That is what I use to download all my apps. I have no complain about this phone, it is just perfect and it has remote control also. Just amazing

  • How do i unfreeze apps mistakenly frozen?

  • I bought this phone around Diwali 2015. 1. Battery Life is excellent. For Travellers, it is excellent phone. 2. When not in use, You can just control net use through system manager by selecting which apps to use net. 3. Through this method one can save battery as well as data usage and also heating problem also gets resolve up to a certain extent. 4. Camera is good. 5. Display is excellent. 6. Worth to 18000 rs. 7. you can freeze any apps which are not in use. 8. I am satisfied with this phone. and I am now hearing that it is out of stock. 9. For gamers it is of not much use as it gets heated very fast. 10. Good for those persons who use the phone in limited way like applications, phone calls, photos, videos.

  • You have purchased imported phone from other country, as in India it has 2+32 while internationally it was launched with 2+16 GB version.

  • I have faced same problem, vibrator motor was not working, got that replaced from service centre.

  • Pls am experiencing same issue now. And I have gone to settings and d vibration Is turned on. Still my fone doesn't vibrate. Please any other solution. Thank you!

  • Is this phone good about its camera and others also?

  • most of the specs you read online, cant be used to anything :/ bc your country decides which phone you get, with the same name tho. so be sure to check the specs of the phone you are dreaming about, when it comes to your country, so you are sure to get the real phone and not the expensive "copy".

  • See Disclaimer tssssk

  • What's the difference between 213 and 211 grams lol...

  • I bought 1 in Nigeria and it's 2 GB ram and 16 gm storage .How is that possible.

  • Thanks man I was having problem of screen saver Change.you just solved my problem

  • Gionee M5 at this price tag is not best deal at this price segment.You may learn this fact once going into specs of Lenovo vibe P1.6020mah is very good and 3gb ram is good too as well.But with this immense battery what was the big deal not making it full HD.This is first thing.Second big thing is processor.With 6020 mah juice you must give an equally powerful processor atleast octacore else what is the use..Price tag is too not competitive.Is anybody buying this now ? After zenfone max and lenovo vibe P1?

  • Its a masterpiece from Gionee. I was searching for this phone everywhere for one month. And found it 70 Km away from my home. Now after use of a month I am happily posting my review. Each n every penny I spent for this phone is worth. (Golden Colour :) 1st of all if you are battery lover then only go with it. As this phone weight 211 gm. I was using Lenovo P780 before this (weight 177 gm). So for me its not a big change in weight. Other than this point, this phone is awesome. Battery is 6020 mAh with combination of 1.3 GHz quad core processor. Hence the processor is not eating much of this huge battery. 3 GB RAM is not allowing any lag in operation. No any issue in connectivity (m using over WiFi n Vodafone GSM 3G). AMOLED screen is showing good vibrant colors. with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. M surprised with Camera Performance of this phone. I was not expecting much from both Cameras. But both front n rear camera given stunning clarity even at low lights. M a frequent traveler. So huge battery is always my concern. This phone is running for 2 days easily in one 100% charge. After watching 2 or 3 continuous movies, Online gaming , music and calls still u hv third day to use the phone without charging. Only it do not hv backlight below operation buttons like home n all. however it was not there even in my earlier phone. but just FYI guys Additional Features - Inbuilt whatsapp, xender, remote for ac or tv, office app, good sound, many themes, notification light, u can charge other phone, OTG, If u wanna know anything more then can contact me on [email protected] Over all rating from me is 10/10.

  • It is a good phone but am having a prb.. wit my phone storage any files i saved such music, videos, pictures it won't display in the gallery.

  • Good phone

  • Can we purchase it from electronic shop

  • yes it works very well

  • yes it works very well

  • The camera is 13 MP. GSM arena also showing its 13 MP.

  • It is really a good phone. Especially the battery back up. For me it lasts fr almost 48 hours after several calls in a day, games, emails, whats app, FB and so on. Please note that camera is not 13 MP. Its 8 MP only. But, the phone is worth its price. there is no heating issue, no hang ups, memory is sufficient.

  • CDMA data working on it? Plz reply fast..

  • i am using this phone last one months its superb phone . before its i purchase moto x play but return within week. unique features : 1st phone of 6000 mah battery, gsm+cdma, universal remote with infra-red, black screen gestures etc.

  • Yes IT is

  • Is it is 4g or not

  • Gionee m5 not supported video calling

  • Is support both sim port cdma and support 3g CDMA

  • its very good phone ,yes it supports cdma net work

  • Yes its supports GSM + CDMA. And reliance CDMA also.

  • this is a m5 is vest phone I like it

  • Does it supports GSM + CDMA ?? If Yes, Does it supports Reliance CDMA Sim ??

  • Black and white color model is out of stock since its launched. Gold color model is also out of stock now. But I observe one thing, gold color model is in stock in midnight, (after 1 a.m.). I also ordered it at 2 a.m. So check it at midnight.

  • After 3 chinese import phones i'll never buy one again. There is always some trouble ahead, little or no updates, bad service etc... Buy a descent phone instead, with warranty, updates and in the end more fun.

  • Hi Friends, Can anyone tell me , Where can i buy this phone. I tried online but no stock , Is Gionee relaunching this or not... ?

  • Heating problem cannot use without a cover flap as it will burn your ears. Major problem of hang, sometimes it takes 5 mins to open any app, phonebook, call history, dialling pad, anything.... Do not use for free of charge

  • Root it,then download System App Installer from play store. Use it to move any app you want. I've tried and confirmed it.

  • After using this phone 2 weeks I confidently say that yes this phone is worth to buy. First of all I want to say that, I am so much choosy and selective for mobile. I do research for various handsets from last 1 month and finally decide to buy Gionee Marathon M5. My requirement was Good battery,CDMA support, max inbuilt memory, max ram, n good camera. Here is my rating for this phone. Battery Life: 10/10 I fully satisfied with battery backup. I get up-to 2 days full backup with heavy usage. Network connectivity: 10/10 It does not have any problem in connectivity and internet. I am using cdma and gsm n I got good coverage and net speed. Though some peoples are facing low speed in cdma. But guys you need to do proper setting, and actually speed is depends upon various things so we can not blame handset for low speed. Performance: 10/10 Since I have used it last 15 days, I did not experience any lags and hang. And one thing, Inbuilt app like Xender, Peel remote needs to update,otherwise its not work properly. My best suggestion is uninstall this apps and download again from playstore. Camera: 8/10 Yes here I see some pros. Back camera do decent job, but in Front camera I noticed that at the corner, photo stretched towards to edges.But I really dont have big problem with it because I am not photo/camera lover. I use camera rarely. Peoples are talking about its high pricing compare to specifications, but guys this pricing is because of battery only. Really its gives good backup as compare to other phone, and you realize the importance of good battery only when you go for long trip. Otherwise at home you dont realize.

  • I m facing the same problem for its heats up

  • Hello All. I noticed that most of the peoples are facing problem with the Reliance CDMA net connection. I am using the same with not any single problem. Guys, net is depend upon various things, and specially CDMA network I noticed that when range drop only 1 bar, net speed reduced so much. For your information, do the following setting in your phone, Go to Edit Access point, Enter the following, PPP Dial: #777 Username: your mobile no. Password: your mobile no. And keep all other things as it is, and save the setting.

  • not even this Reliance Cdma Mobile Data will Not Work in Any Android Phone

  • I also feel the same but it's okay

  • Hello guys. I want some help from you. Please help me. I purchased M5 yesterday. And I noticed that on display white color is not displaying as white, its little bit yellowish. Please tell me that you also facing this or my handset is faulty. Please reply. Thank you.

  • how many hours is dis battry on use of internet//?

  • Got my Gionee Marathon M5 today -- Sad to say it does not recognize my 64 GB Sandisk XC 1 SD card whereas a 32 GB card is being recognized. Also the audio quality is pathetic -- even in a closed room the other person's voice is barely audible and you have to strain yourself to hear him. :( No wonder Samsung, LG are the industry leaders ... things work. As far as the battery is concerned .. a person can always carry a battery pack. Wrong choice. :(

  • Great phone with good specs if you are a CDMA + GSM network user. Camera not good in low light condition otherwise OK. Amigo OS is little buggy. for example if you create folder for several apps on screen that folder automatically removed when you restart your phone. Phone has no heating issue. If you feeling such try to factory reset. Uninstall power consuimg app. It comes with ' DU Phone booster ' app. It kills your backgorund apps and frees memory, Can stop auto startup apps (faster phone performance), Junk & useless APK file removal etc etc... Thanks

  • It is the best apart all the smart phone we are having today

  • sim slot 1 ....gsm & cdma both sim work properly??

  • How's it camera & hanging issu??

  • Insert CDMA Sim in slot 1 it will work

  • Geonee Marathon M5 is getting heated frequently while in use. What could be the reason for its condition? Grateful, any remedy is suggested.

  • Just found a bug in this system.. . Not sure its a bug or a feature which is acting like a bug.. In Settings->Security uncheck Guest Mode thats it u will be then able to see ur msgS n contacts

  • sir, how about the weight of the phone- 1.is it easy to carry or leads to wrist pain on long usage and 2.also about one hand usage is it possible? 3.any heating issues on long usage? thank you for ur straight forward review ...

  • I am also buyed one very good fone fore

  • The phone should have been woth removable batterys.The extent one could actually do a lot of technical stuff with M2 will not be possible with M5. But one thing is for sure.Gionee is paying hefty sums to useless developers in making stock roms.Uninstall gionee m2 stpck rom and put umanh leekha compact darkl rpm which is lollipop based.You will never wosh to revert back to gionee m2 stock rom.

  • God bless you for this review!!!!

  • I am facing the same thing.

  • Heat in mediatek

  • I got the same problem of apps and games refreshing back to 1st pages. But I checked for the 31 december 2015 update about 161 Mbits. Now my M5 doesn't have this problem. The remaining problem is about programing apps sounds .Exple: "azan pro" wich is programed to repeat the 5 calling prayers a day. The apps is installed ans ni calling Prayer......

  • data works great, i use it with reliance cdma and get get great evdo speeds.

  • Its been 3 days since i bought M5 lite,,,,,i would say it depends on what you are lookin for ...in a smartphone......the network speed(3G) is not good....it maybe my simcard .....few games...like clash of clans....not working on mobile data in M5 lite.....dats d rock sliding for me.....looking for solution....if anyone has it...den plzz share it....

  • Dear all. I want to know that m5 CDMA phone is comfortable with CDMA data ... Reliance or tata .... Someone tell me that it does not work when you use data / internet with its CDMA sim ... Reliance CDMA etc... Dear all brothers please advise... I m waiting ... Dinesh Goswami

  • i don't knew y people saying that 3gb m s 1.75gb h n all. i guess they don't knew the wat a RAM is all about .So please conform first n then comment

  • i agree and totally satisfied it's rock.

  • Guys. Please come out of a thought that Gionee is not a Brand. Seriously you wont regret once you buy it. Worth for every penny you spend on this mobile. Gionee marathon m5 fulfills all my necessity. Why should i invest 20/30/40 thousand in useless mobiles just for name samsung or iphone. Display You can feel the Richness in this Amoled display. Colours are awesome. When i jumped from IPS screen to Amoled, i really felt it amaze. I watched movies in this phone and it was super crisp and clear Battery Amazing battery life. I own what i dreamed for. I traveled from Chennai to karur and in 8 hours of travel, charge drained only 23%. I was watching movie for 2 hours and games half an hour. 3G On always = 2 days uninterrupted 2G on always = 2.5 days Wifi only = 3 days ( amazing) Look Metallic design, high rich look. I have golden color and it gives look similar to iphone 6. My cousin asked me instantly from distance whether i have bought iphone. Touch & UI Touch is perfect. Smooth movement between screens. New update helps with notification center from top and control center from bottom. Double tap to wake and sleep make this phone impressive. Games. With 3Gb of RAM, this phone never hangs. I played Asphalt, Nova, modern combat. It gives such a nice graphics. I bet the graphics of this phone is far far far better than any other phone. SIM 4G works in both sims. SIM signals are good. I was using other phone and many calls were disconnected when i had been in lift. But this phone didn't drop the signal. In lift, i had slight distortion but didn't drop the call. Excellent mobile. Bloatware It does not have many bloatware. Everything is essential apps. Amigo Wallpapers are awesome Box & accessories I got free scratch guard, Flip cover premium as a promotion. Thanks Gionee. Camera Seriously guys,Back camera is awesome. Worth for every penny. Front cam is good as well. You wont regret once u get it. Performance I kept open 27 apps at same time and played asphalt game and i couldn't even notice a slight lag. Sound Excellent. I realized slight heat after playing games for 1 hour. How can i expect a mobile without that ? Even my PS4 gets heat after some hours. All electronics have this disadvantage. But this is not at all a major issue. SAR value is very less. So i can confirm that this phone's radiation is very less compared to all other smartphones in market now. I bet this is the master piece of Gionee. Please dont buy other phones without any strong reason. Just go for this mobile. A Warm Salute to Gionee team for making such a smartphone. I love it madly.

The phone is heavy, I guess it's the battery. For a leftie it keeps on making screenshots because of the button. Otherwise, easy to use and reliable. Camera is good. Quality of sound very good. And the video play back very nice. All by all,... for the price a very good buy. Only issue, and I'm still to find out why... the phone book takes long to load... I don't know if it's the phone or the way the numbers are stored.

  • Please the auto shutdown of apps is due to some settings you have tampered with. Restore the factory settings and am very sure it will be fine. The phone is fantastic and i don't seem to see its match at the same price. Thanks

  • I have bought this phone 2 days back - phone is good overall and looks very stylish. The problem which i have faced is the touch, sometime i need to click twice or 3 time on the icon. And one more thing, when i use to type any message it will automatically start reading my message with voice and its too irritating i have tried but not found any solution. Camera is also not that good. Selfie is not up to the mark. Can anyone help me on this.

  • flash any of these 2 roms. u will be able to move everthing to sd card

  • Tnx pal. Its really helpful, problem solved 👦

  • In order to prevent auto shut down of apps on the gionee m5, goto the app "system manager" select EcoMode , then select white list, below select "add into the white list" a list of apps will appear then click on the ones that always auto shut down and click OK . Another option is to enter "settings" then click on "power management" then click on "power manager" now select "none" which is first on the list, the default mode is "normal mode" after u click on "none" your apps will never auto shut down again.

  • the 3gb/32gb version is not available in Nigeria so I bought the 2gb/16gb version. it has no app2sd, so I was just left with 10.83gb right from the start in my internal memory. I couldn't install any apps that I wanted on my 64 GB memory card because of this problem so I have ran out of space in my internal memory there's no ota update to rectify that in Nigeria, anytime that I search for an update, I'm always told, you're running the latest version. I wish Gionee would look into this and release an ota update version that would rectify this app2sd problem for Nigerian version (2gb/16gb version) so that it would tally with the Indian rom version. Besides the app2sd issue, I'm generally very happy with the general performance of the Gionee m5 in regards to multitasking, battery life, gaming and camera....it scored 30,533 points on antutu benchmark 6 and 1759 muti-core score and 617 single-core score on geekbench.

  • Chii is phone dat is the best in all phones

  • My new purchase Finally i just bought it...humm you feel that you have a PHONE despite the weight but i think i will quickly adapt as has been the case with my M3.

  • Please go ahead, fantastic phone

  • It has, but u have to update the rom

  • your version is old. update and u will be able to move apps to SD

  • are u sure u own a M5 ?

  • Better dont buy it. I ve bought one last month and it sucks . the problems i m facing are - auto shut down of apps. Apps like YouTube , MX player torrent downloader shit down frequently . so You wont be able to use your phone smoothly and to download torrents . - auto shut down of phone AS the specification this phone has 2 GB ram and 1.3 octa prossesser but it sometimes reboots itself. It has happened with my phone 6-7 times in one month. -Screenshot It is difficult to make Screenshots ahile playing games like COC. - Installation of apps. You cant install apps on SD card. AS the specification the phone has 3 GB RAM and 32 GB intetnal memory . but the phone i ve has just 3 GB RAM and 16 GB infernal memory. ( i might have older Version . )

  • Merci

  • Without EVDO 3G works in my device. nice phone

  • Camera is good, battery long last, screen clarity is superb and even the front camera is good but big size, but when charging or doing call the phone heat is very high. Lollipop v5.1

  • I have M5 and the camera is good...

  • Really nice phone ... been using it for a month now... it has almost every flagship feature....with 6020 mhz battery which stays alive for continuos 48 hours of 3g use..including watching movies...listening to songs web browsing....the lockscreen changes automatically every day...gr8 feature..happily convinced....thank you gionee...very glad of getting rid-off that always laggy samsung galaxy series

  • Goinee manufacturer should Update M5 dailer to include Clour Icon to distinguished SIM Card in M5. The should also Increase the size of the Icons That of M2 is better.

  • Thx Bro. After reads some opinions.. more clarity and more enthusiastic to switch to M5.

  • check this thread

  • Can you give me more details please. For information the available version of M5 in Algeria under name "Condor Allure A55" has 02GB Ram and 16GB Rom.

  • cdma evo not working

  • Not Getting 3g Speed, inspite of activating EVDO

  • I got this phone about a month ago. I love the screen resolution,the camera quality (though it always comes with a heavy size 2MB upwards), the battery life is superb. The weight of the phone however seems heavy at first handling after I switched from my Innjoo One HD but now am used to the weight. One thing that I do not like about the phone is Response. It doesn't cope with a fast user like me,apps shut down anyhow especially google apps like Gmail, Google map and other apps. Most times returning to the home screen makes the phone hang and the apps have to reset. The 16GB internal memory is not fully available to the user as the phone inbuilt apps keeps updating and eating up the space. Like 6GB would eventually be available to the user. I hope it would be able to upgrade the coming Marshmallow. I give it a 6/10 based on the price.

  • I wont upgrade to M5 if i were u.

  • Hi Actually i have a Marathon M3 and I plan to switch to M5. According to the battery specifications i need some clarification if someone can. Capacity : M3 5000 mAh - M5 6020 mAh. Stand-by : M3 Up to 792 h - M5 Up to 684 h. Talk time(3G) : M3 Up to 32 h 30 min - M5 Up to 28 h. 1-Despite the power difference. M3 beats M5 in term of battery endurance , Please can you confirm this difference ? 2-The M5 camera is really better than M3 ? Thanks.

  • Ya this phone has issue with evdo internet speed I swapped SIM twice it didn't work When I switch off and switch on phone it works on hsd but only for few seconds Then again it stops working, and the biggest issue is once if internet disconnects it doesn't start easy again. I had bought it from flipcart, thanks for flipcart they accepted my refund request.

  • Good day all,sorry for the initial typos. I meant I cannot access but my call and message logs. I am hoping its a setting problem! Please ,does anyone have a solution for me? Thanks

  • Good day all. I just got a Gionee M5 and I can access my Call logs or message logs. I have several missed calls and I can access the numbers. Pls what do I do? Thanks you

  • I'm having a challenge with recording video with my M5, the visual will be okay but only a hissing sound in place of the audio. I tried using other video apps and it had same issue.Please a solution?

  • when i use internet, it shows ev in the top and not 2x. actually 2ev, one is network and other is data. Also speed is network dependent. Maybe you are in a place where data congestion is more. I get great speeds reliance does not activate evdo automatically for all n sundry. you need to send them a request as follows : active HSD ( high speed data ) by sending sms : Postpaid Type HSD send it to 55444 Prepaid Type HSD send it to 55333

  • There is no need to activate any 3G. It should automatically work with your normal mobile top up even without extra 3G pack top up. But it seems CDMA 3G EVDO does not work at full speed in Gionee Marathon M5. All opinions point that 2G only works ( 1X speeds only and not 3G speeds). There may be some hardware problems in Gionee Marathon M5 for CDMA 3G EVDO speed.

  • I want to buy Gioneee Marathon M5 because I am using MTS CDMA and AIRTEL GSM. I prefer MTS CDMA for 3G EVDO because it is cheap, fast, seamless and has wider area coverage for mobile Data than AIRTEL in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra. (Currently I am using ZTE N919D. It works at very good speed for MTS CDMA 3G EVDO, but it has a poor 1GB RAM only.) Many opinions point that Gionee Marathon M5 does not have full speed in CDMA 3G (EVDO) even by using the latest CDMA OMH SIMs also. Please tell me whether MTS CDMA 3G (EVDO) works at full speed in Gionee Marathon M5. I am delaying the purchase only for this clarification. Someone please clarify me on this point.

  • The phone doesn't have colour display to differentiate the SIM cards icon display on standby mode.

  • Gionee marathon m5 is cdma + gsm or gsm + gsm?

  • 267 ppi is enough? kindly advice...

  • Gionee marathon m5 is cdma + gsm or gsm + gsm?

  • time for my review. 32gb internal storage, 3GB ram, 6050mAH battery and 5.5" amoled display, 4g on both sims or u can use cdma+gsm or gsm+cdma. u can set data to work on either sim. What else do u want !!!!It is a true world phone. am using it with reliance cdma + dolphin as gsm and signals r great. even better than my earlier HTC one dual sim. evdo works awesome with cdma. U can use any of the 2 sim slots for cdma or both for 4g gsm. i am a heavy user and easily get 2+ days with some juice remaining. Thou a bit heavy but u get used to it. GOLD color is the best and it has premium looks. The flip cover along with the phone is of nice quality but the plastic screen guard is a waste coz its not tempered glass. Better to buy a tempered glass screen guard online or after market shops @ 100 bucks. camera quality @ 13mp is seriously good. Low light pics are also good. front cam @5mp also shoots sharp pics. smart screen gestures work ok. double tap to wake and sleep etc make life easy. coming from HTC family, sense is much better than the native amigo 3.1 and it takes some time to understand the features. They have packed a lot of innovative features like everyday changing lock screen wallpapers @ mood card, new wallpaper app for this phone , smart gestures, theme park etc etc. There is no app drawer which can be addressed by using any other launcher. Anyways I have not felt the need for an app drawer till date. can always fall back on nova or next or halo etc launchers. music effects are awesome both via speak and headset It has DTS with various pre set modes and also u can adjust the equalizer thou u wont need to. I like heavy bass and the native music app does not disappoint. u wont regret purchasing this phone.

  • set username as "net" and password as "net" in Reliance Modem. The sim needs to be OMH enabled.

  • Camera is not performing well.

  • yes evdo rev A works

  • can any one please confirm in this phone evdo will work or not???

  • Gionee S7 and E8

  • If you really like Gionee devices then look for the flagship from this company, they are better options.

  • not sure of what you are talking but if you go to Gionee company website and try to see the specs sheet of this device, and in battery section you see 28hrs battery talktime-this is max as its under test conditions. Gionee will be surprised if you surpass even the test results. And as far as Xiaomi note device is then PLEASE READ CAREFULLY- i am writing REDMi NOTE 4G-a 4G device and not 3G device. the one that you mentioned is a 3G device which was launched initially in india, a cheaper version of the real Redmi Note 4G-with a lower battery performance. If still not clear then check GSMarena website and compare Redmi Note and Redmi Note 4G- two different devices with same external appearance. Hope now you get it correctly now.

  • Can we use two SIM cards in this mobile ? ...I am bit confused about CDMA + GSM connectivity

  • How much times does it take to fully charge this phone ?

  • will it support rim cdma EVDO

  • i used redmi note for 3g it is not even giving 11-13 hours of battery...now in Gionee M5 i am using 3g and i used the phone continuously for 30 hours

  • the charger works at 9.5V 1.46A, that is about 2 hours to get a full charge .

  • M5 is world best CDMA GSM smartphone.u use any CDMA SIM. 6020battery very best and also CDMA.best best CDMA mobile in the world. Gionee is great. Low price best mobile. I love very much. Thanks Gionee. Not think buy Gionee. Amit mukhija

  • why is everyone confused here about things. simple choice is if you want cdma smartphone go for it. i tell you why- 1. its the only dual sim phone which supports cdma as well as 4g on second sim slot because as i am using htc one e8 and i love my phone very much and its very good overall compare to gionee m5 but the sad part is every smartphone right now which support cdma dual sim has not support for 4g on second sim slot. even 3g is not supported you can only use 2g sim on second sim slot and thats really bad part of and cdma+gsm dual sim smartphone. so thats the part where gionee m5 shines out from the rest because you can use 4g sim gsm on both the slots and can use cdma sim on slot 1 and gsm sim on second slot with 2g/3g even 4g and thats really the best part of this smartphone. so guys if you really want to take advantage of the cdma cheap plans as i am using relience truly unlimited plan on my htc one e8 then you have only one best option right now which is gionee marathon M5. 2. now come tosecond choice if you are not willing to use any cdma sim and will only use gsm sim then their is no point for going for the gionee m5.although it has good specs like 3gb ram, amoled display, 32 gb internal but very poor gpu and cpu if you want gaming then you will be not as happy as you can be from all other smartphones in this price range. because if u will use only gsm sims then there are lot more options available in this price range with same or better specification. but again if you really want a smartphone with cdma facility then gionee marathon m5 is the only best option available right now with best specifcation you can imagine right now. because cdma smartphone are usually costly as compared to normal gsm smartphones and if you google you will find that this smartphone is not costly at all as for the cdma smartphone or i can easily say its best cdma phone right now available with best specification with just right pricing but cdma is not your concern then i agree with everyone here that you have lot of options in this price range.

  • Yes it supports all CDMA network. Both sim works with CDMA and GSM. You can insert any sim on any slot.

  • Pls my gionee m5 phone vibration just stop working now. Pls what can I do to restore it back.

  • What is CDMA sim support ans me

  • is this phone is 4G

  • this M5 is available for 17999 and redmi note 4G is available for 7999. M5 battery declared by company gives 28hrs of 3G talktime and Redmi note 4G gives 38hrs of 3G talktime. Now antutu of M5 is 28000 and same of Redmi note 4G is 33000. Wake up.

  • till now i see moto x play to be a good option considering price & performance. Its very wisely placed in the indian market at this price range and additionally it gets future updates really fast. An added advantage is that moto models accessories are easily available in the market. I can easily find accessories for the first gen moto devices. No issues if you buy a moto device. Battery performs really well as per GSMarena- a good 26hrs of 3g calling.

  • 6000mah and no quick charge..fail

  • gionee m5 have 3gb ram and 32 Rom plz correct it

  • too much confusion moto x play htc 826 oppo r 7 lite gionee marathom m5 lenovo vibe p1 lenovo vibe s1 which one to buy???? plz comment

  • do you have the courage to compare this gionee M5 with moto X Play-you will be surprised by the battery performance of Moto x Play. And if performance is top priority, then i do not see anyone above Samsung galaxy note 3-available at very cheap rates now-a true multi tasker in your hands.

  • do you watch videos on youtube, then check benchmark performance f this Gone-gionee device-HAHA...a super low 27000 on antutu and again a super low on Vellamo metal-1440. You you compare this with big hit Moto G (2gb ram), because at same performace or even better you need to shell out 12K only, with a promised Android marshmallow updates. or in case if you know about very hot Xiaomi Mi4-at 15 K you get 45000 on antutu-WOW. and battery-well i say carry a 130 gram phone with awesome spec and a 100 gram of battery bank than carrying a 212gram of android brick. And then market is flooded with all sort of accesories for these devices. Also, i did mention in one of my earlier posts that none out of 4 gionee devices ever went to service centre-this is the only plus point i remember. i still wish that gionee launched this device with a much heavier hardware installed inside -rather than ALL YO AND No GO!! thing.

  • Where you are comparing it with vibe P1.purchase it then you will know. It's fantastic phone. M using it... And also used vibe P1

  • can you pl share antutu score of this device, it seems fast to you.

  • where did i say i tested them, LOL

  • do you have at least 4 members in ur family and by chance you buy 4 devices from the same company. Luckily i did. I got reference from friend that Gionee devices are good and thats how decided to buy. At that time, everyone in my family were using Nokia devices, so this android thing was new to them. And thats when got the bitter taste of Gionee. None of the four devices performed well. After that I switched to Samsung, and oh...its much better than what Gionee offered.

  • the phone is good..I have been using it since 2months ..the size.speed.camera is excellent..though a little heavy buts its okay. geonee products are reliable n durable than infinix techno products....

  • Want cdma

  • I got invite from one plus x also in fact I was confused whether I should go for Gionee M 5 or one plus x ,finally I decided to purchase Gionee m5. I'm satisfied with this product. Smart look smart features and there is no heating at all which seems the best part. It's battery life is quite long than any other phone in the market. Camera is awesome, even you click in the dark, you will get crystal clear view. It has very good metal thin body. It's weight is bit more but this is my an issue. The best thing for me is it supports CDMA as well as GSM now I will b able to use CDMA network also which has better and economical talk plans. Over all I liked it. You all can go for it.

  • So,you bought 4 Gionee devices at the same time just so you can test how good they're..that's a FISHY story for KIDS,instead of running down Gionee with your comments here why don't you allow the consumers make their own choices,after all the M5 was not among your purported 4 Gionee devices and you therefore have ZERO experiences with this device to speak of..

  • What is lenovo vibe Ram...its 2 gb....best part of this gionee display, battery and design..i love the phone

  • What is lenovo vibe Ram...its 2 gb....best part of this gionee display, battery and design..i love the phone

  • Phone is all round nice! Design, its amoled screen.. And especially its battery Life. Soo far am liking it much for its display and battery.. As for the camera it's something to smile about.. On a general review for me I would say am satisfied so far.. Its a nice phone.. Gionee is doing a Good work

  • The Gionee M5 phone has highly enriched features comparing to previous Marathon version and as USP is its battery size.Myself being a gionee M2 user would still say a big no to M3,M4,M5 variants. What they lack ?.They lack battery which is removable.Only M2 has a removable battery. Without removable battery it is simply parting off your phone at some later time. Secondly today M5 is giving coupled 3010 batteries.Tomorrow will they provide facility to replace them.Or even gionee will be manufacturing batteries for replacement.

  • Vibe pm2 is not support cdma network..

  • what cdma

  • I would suggest google for best devices under 20K. Not necessary that performance of 6000mah battery is better than 4000mah battery. Wait for detailed review online and then compare it with other devices present in the market.

  • time and again Gione failed with its marathon series M2, M3, M4 and now M5. All these devices fall flat on their faces in terms of performance and even in terms of battery. Numbers are big for battery, but on a single charge its life isn't much to cheer. Last but not the least, i believe that Gionee tries to underpower its devices so that hardware gets longer life and minimum service centre visits. I experienced this with Gionee E7-its a great device but underpowered.

  • no sir, its 720 P resolution only and NOT 1080.

  • by bechara i mean buyers who are now bechara by virtue of buying this phone.

  • Please tell every bechara who wants to buy this device that add Rs.2000 more and get a brand new Samsung Note 3. Bigger, better and much,much more powerful. And if you want to go for a cheaper one there is Honor 6, Xiaomi Mi4, Mi4i, Asus zenfone 2.

  • My friend, please read the specifications mentioned very carefully. Commenting on my post is good, but see that you are commenting on the built in antenna capability and not the remaining bulk of hardwares. I don't want to carry a 210gram brick in my pocket, rather would carry a battery bank in my bag. This device is a big letdown from Gionee, or I can say its overpriced. Choice is yours because money is yours.

  • you must read post carefully. LOL!!

  • because i buy 4 gionee phones at the same time and i was able to use each one of those one by one -like exchanging mobiles after using it for couple of months, thats how i buy 4 gionee mobiles and got experience of using them. The only thing i did not mention in my post is that none of the Gionee devices went to service centre once-ever after 2yrs. But that doesn't make it a great company. I cannot say wow for this.

  • Lol

  • Right

  • The 3gb version of this m5 was launched lately.. Will it be available for use in other countries? I am in Nigeria

  • Gionee M5 Roshan. It is with 2 SIM slot both CDMA & GSM. with 4g LTE. Data can be connected through both. ROM 32 GB, RAM 3 GB

  • No Prem. It supports all the network. CDMA,GSM, 3G, 4G LTE, FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE. Also with 2 SIM slot. You can use both CDMA & GSM at a time. Fantastic phone.

  • Yes. Gionee M5 is also available with ROM 32 GB & RAM 3 GB, 6020 mAh battery. It supports all the network of 4g.

  • It supports all the network in the world whether is is GSM, CDMA, HSDP, FDD-LTE, or TDD-LTE and the battery is very strong and it can be used for 3 days with out Charging. It is a good one smart phone series. Worth for the money.

  • is this phone is good??plz give me ur suggestion.i want to buy this phone

  • is this phone is good?? plz give ur review i want to buy this phone

  • This phone is closer to Lenovo's Vibe P1m. both are HD, have 6735 processor. The key differnence is 4000mah vs 6000mah. but Vibe P1m is 7999 & M5 is 17999 in India. doesnt make sense

  • This is a great phone,most reliable and feature packed that will deliver the functions without fear of draining your battery. Battery can charge fully within 2hrs

  • Why not "full hd display resulation 1080p, super AMOLED, android os marshmallow, octa core processor, "??

  • The gionee m5 dat was just launched in india with 3g ram and 32g rom,is it dsame with d one of 2g ram and 16g rom in china?

  • Gioneet m5 they just launched in india with 3g ram, 32g rom with dat of d china of 2g ram and 16g rom, are they nt dsame? Some body help me

  • Pls refer Gionee site, difference in specification... its 3 GB RAM & 32 ROM with expandable capacity of 128 GB

  • Ok battery is 6020 mah.... then how much time it wants to charge?

  • moto g is outdated boss. stands nowhere in front of todays performers

  • Arre baba this phone is supporting cdma then how can you compare it with any other gsm mobile , just think twice before you comment

  • which processor is used ? Snapdragon -- ? or MT ?

  • indian version M5 has 32gb ROM and 3GB RAM which is a great addition.

  • Lenovo p1 is far better than this @ 16k the only good thing in this mobile is amoled screen nothing is there worth @ 18k u can get better specs in coolpad note 3 @ 9k which is in half in this price

  • Why you bought 4 gionees if you didnt like any?

  • Upcoming phone will have car battery size mah phones

  • this device is a big big letdown from gionee again...A 6000mAh battery delivering only 24hrs of 3G, its too bad, BATTERY is only adding weight to the device so that you can use it as paperweight....hehe....and at the price point its launched in India 18K, its a 1.3ghz quadcore so performance is worse than moto e (2nd generation). 3GB of ram is not going to do any wonders for you thanks to the poor Amigo OS from Gionee. And oh...a 720P resolution on 5.5 inch gives too big pixels that are easily noticeable. Galaxy J7 and honor 6 , both come with great specs sheet and are much lighter than this mammoth M5 but still give you quality assurance. To end it all, I have used 4 gionee devices and all are pathetic in performance. At this price point go for zenfone 2 with so many variants in market to suit your needs!!

  • Big battery but no quick charge feature :'(

  • Sorry about the problems you're having. You should probably try a master reset

  • Is there any screen protection$#@ like gorilla glass or dragon trail ? Huge battery backup but doubtful about the phone quality !

  • i have on dout,this mobile are china mobile are other, i dont kow thats why iam asking. pls inform tome,where is mobile establish.

  • Excellent phone indeed, I have been using it for a week now, but it suddenly tripped off and is not coming on anymore. What in the world happened?

  • My Gionee M2 mobile shows memory full even after few time later of factory setting. Kindly suggest me how I solve the po poblem.

  • You're welcome. Go to power management and put the phone on the first option which is "None". See if you start receiving notifications. I've noticed that when you use the normal mode/battery saver mode, it shuts off notifications from apps to some extent. I prefer the dark theme but do not want to give up on app notifications. Hope it helps.

  • which phone ??

  • Thanks for your help but before raising this issue i've done that i.e set it important. i've done all that.

  • pls kindly help me to clarify d effectiveness and funtionality of ds gionee m5 cos am thinking of getting ds brand model for d first time and dont want to regret it .what of d price ?has it dropped for now? thnks.

  • Cdma450 or cdma800?

  • Pull down the notification bar, then click the notification management icon on the extreme top right. Click on each respective app you wish to receive notifications from and then toggle the "set to important notice" switch. You'll start receiving alerts from those apps in the status area.

  • There's a problem with the and hope there's a solution, someone said the use to cease and take you back to home menu when playing game or something, I'm having same problem, but the big problem is any app I downloaded from store, are not woking i.e if the app has notification, it will not notify also will not show on notification bar e. g Badoo, Instagram, prayer time and other app that is not pre-installed on the phone, but twitter, Facebook and what's app are showing on notification bar as well as notification tone because they are pre-installed on the phone. Please need solution.

  • Better still go to settings, power management, then power manager, then click on the settings for normal mode, then unmark the box for by "open the green background" That's all

  • To solve this problem Go to Settings > power management > Power manager > choose "None" Cheers.

  • please i need your help quickly, when I'm playing game or want to use other theme my phone will suddenly stopped and go back to menu please help me.

  • I am using this. Excellent phone. Excellent battery.It can be used for more than 2 days without plugin.Excellent resolution. Excellent camera .No heating up on continued usage as said by others.

  • I'm using the phone, it's really nice, really really nice, so single regrets, battery is really good, camera is really good and I don't know why people are shouting about it being heavy, well maybe it is heavy but it's just OK, it's not like you are holding a bag of cement, it's just OK interms of weight. So go and buy and enjoy, it also has not overheat since I bought it

  • how much is the phone been sold??

  • i use it 24 hr 3g its work 2day very eszy

  • I am presently using the phone but there is nothing like overheating as claimed by some users. The battery can only last 2 days with heavy use on 2G while 3G stands at 1.5 days. The phone is heavy as a result of the better's power but a very good phone with powerful front and back cameras. I can't compare any of my previous phones with the camera.

  • Wht about the batry life . Hw much day it run without charge ??

  • Do you see hotnote on gsmarena? It's not a world wide brand

  • When are you guys going to review this phone? I live in eastern Europe and the carrier in my country has antennas only for 4G 38 band, and there are only 110 phones in the world right now that support this band, and the Marathon M5 has the greatest battery of them all, but how efficient is the cpu/ram/flash? If it's not optimised it could drain the battery faster than an S6 active, which i have but doesn't support band 38. Make a complete review please, only then I will consider buying it.

  • Please need help on my m5.

  • Pls can anybody tell me if M5 is a 4G network?

  • Hmmmmmmmm

  • Thanks. I was having the same problem with my bbm. Did what you suggested and it worked. So glad

  • i faced the same problem of BBM, but i find how to fix it by myself. go to the setting- power management- power manager- option "NONE" . it's the bug , but i believe maybe later gionee will fix it by OTA update.

  • available in Nigeria now, i bought one last week

  • it's very quick charge, just use two hours to charging the full battery. it's 6000mAh big battery capacity, not normal 2000mAh, i bought one last week in Lagos, and i like it very much. especailly for the quick charge and remote control function

  • go to setting- power management-power manager-option NONE then it will be fixed

  • Perhaps Gioneem5has not reached Nigerian market of to now. Indeed Nigerians are desperate to buy the phone. Because by seen it. It will be OK. We are hopping so. When is the phone coming to Nigerian

  • Battery backup seems awesome and is the X factor for the phone , lets see how it once it is launched in INDIA

  • Got the Gioonee M5 for #42000. So far so good. GSMArena let's have a review. It's got IR blaster to control your TV nd Home Theater . Fast browsing with the preloaded UC browser. Good sound quality with the in box headphones. Go 4it.

  • Bought this phone on Wednesday for just N41,000 and I must say this phone is very durable and battery life is exceptional but I have a complain which is BBM closes in background thereby you miss important messages when they arrive. The BBM icon doesn't stay in notification arrear and you'll have to click on BBM before you get messages sent to you.

  • Hey guys! Don't buy this M5 model. Its very very hot when the charge it. Its battery is fall down. Yesterday, I bought it & today I am very dissatisfied. I wanna kill them.

  • Hey guys! Don't buy this M5 model. Its very very hot when the charge it. Its battery is fall down. Yesterday, I bought it & today I am very dissatisfied. I wanna kill them.

  • Am using this mobile for about a week now and it's an awesome phone, nice camera, strong battery, nice dts sound, good screen resolution and design, but the phone is very heavy in hand because of the large battery

  • Gsmarena please update your gionee m5 specification information and details. even th photos are not spec.

  • Why is the status of this phone still reading "coming soon"? I saw the phone in one of our phone shops here in Nigeria a couple of days ago. Please update.

  • This phone is awesome, unfortunately the nearest Gionee distributor to Kisumu is in West Africa!!! I don't understand why its not getting to the Kenyan market yet its far much better than Tecno...which by the way is not even a recognised brand as per gsmarena!!!

  • hv never seen this make being sold in Kisumu Kenya,does any body in kisumu hv any idea on the same??? i would love to buy it.

  • wow its a good phone very fast and good picture quality long last battery even with internet the battery still serve

  • Yes, another power is here I enjoy M5,thanks developers

  • Not easy to use very heavy and bulky.Bad experience while using M5.

  • Sreen is very good, camera amazing, no heat at all

  • Another perspective.Take a mobile with 3020 mah single battery.It last for 1.5 days.Two battery means 3 days.Then why one need M5 when M2 on 4200 mah though on tft screen give oneself same life.

  • Concept doesnot make feel comfortable.Your one battery gets discharged then automatically you go to next battery.Your mobile remains on juice.Right !. Now customer psychology would be to charge that lost battery than to enjoy spare battery.It means not more than 3020 battery to a customer.

  • plz rang

  • 213g. This phone will be freaking heavy. All the phones I've used so far are below 170g.

  • Please tel me whats is the screen graphic quality like and the camera those it over heat what of the camera quality also?

  • Very poor hardware quality, not even gorilla glass screen protection.

  • this is one of the best phones in m series i like it very most top battery is the best feauture for this it has not been hanged anytime

  • Nawa oh..we've waited enough abeg,if they want to release it they should na...annoying how they keep shifting the release date,before na august now na september next thing now will be october.. Smh

  • just realise the phone Abeg people are getting tired of waiting

  • Gionee, should think about the price before launching and releasing the phone in Nigeria. We Nigerians admires things quickly and also we neglect things quickly. For example, when Some Xperia came, we admire the device and we rushed it. But Sony inflated the price and be stopped patronising then. Till date, only few Nigerians are using Sony. And there are other devices like that too. I love GIONEE's product and I will advice the company to think about price if they want a long time dealing with Nigerians.

  • The way i read about M5 specification. I think it will be good.

  • Gionee M5 should have 4G LITE and the processor should be up to Eight like some midrange phones we have now at that price

  • Nice phone but pls the price is not funny oh. Nigeria need some thing affordable. If they leave ur product am sori getting them back is difficult. As some other phones that are selling high.

  • M5 is exelant smart phone '. Battery is very power full '. Nice looking &camera quality is top class

  • U are very right my brother Pls let dem do something about the price or they will lose alot of customers in Nigeria and u know how Nigerians do things Ones they leave u dat is it, trust me my people they will never look back at you at all never. I beg tell dem O make dem reduce price for d new gionne m5 wey dey come so.

  • Dis two phones dat u are talking about with 10000 mah is it gionne product br0

  • Why these co. nowadays don't have IDEA to come new phones with 4g +LTE network

  • It would come to Nigeria at the end of August 2015.

  • please.. have the fone been released.?? cant wait till it gets to Nigeria

  • Well actually, Gionee phones is already available in the philippines but in this one I think, we need to wait.

  • This phone looks really nice but I still have doubts on this one. The battery life seems to be exceptional, but this does not seem to be avialable in the Philippines.

  • I don't trust you, shill

  • Pls guys, there is no phone to compare Gionee phones, they are the best in mobile phones and i can not use any phone again if not gionee. I use three of their products and my entire family members as well. Gionee is the only phone you can trust.

  • Pls guys, there is no phone to compare Gionee phones, they are the best in mobile phones and i can not use any phone again if not gionee. I use three of their products and my entire family members as well. Gionee is the only phone you can trust.

  • Gionee Facebook page shows it's coming soon So ready for a new marathon

  • its very good smart phone in comparision of any smart phone

  • 2 smartphones are coming with such a huge battery. One is Doogee S6000, it will have 6000 MAh battery. And another one is Oukitel K10000, it will have a record breaking 10000 MAh battery. Both are from china .... Thanks !!

  • which other phones has such good battery such as M5

  • Price issue

  • Nice specs ☺ how much is this device worth? in $

  • Michael. U said gionee is strong, how do u rival infinix octo-core 32GB a 2/10 price with gionee quad-core 8GB or their new sudo 16GB at a 5 or 7/10 price. Infinix is still better spec,price and performance wise. Gionee should wake and also adjust their monstrious price range. If you use infinix hotnote or infinix Zero2 u will understand what i mean.

  • Wiz.... How can you compare Infinix brands to Gionee. Gionee takes time to build a nice durable device..... Their devices is always strong and mighty except that of ELIFE series.

  • Gionee is always a nice product especially the M marathons series. But if they fail to amend the price which they have placed this particular M5, they will loose lots of fans here in Africa especially in Nigeria which I will be inclusive. Thank you GIONEE for this wonderful announced device, my advice is that you guys should listen to the opinions of your fans round the globe and see what you can do about the issue of price adjustments because that's the main issue on ground. Thanks.

  • Infinix mobile has already been producing 32GB memory phones and you are here jumping at a sudo 16GB which is not even complete

  • Please you gat to reduce the price!

  • Yes gionee product is fin expecially their camera is always ok

  • please how can i get the m5 to buy ?

  • Gionee m5 is nice but the price of the phone is to high

  • Yeah correct iam using this mobile so i not satisfied with this mobile and it's true it's very expensive mobile

  • But athis phone is always nice but they specification is very low and performance is low it not correctly standing the battery

  • am into dis fone only becos of de Marathon 6020mah ba3 infinix hot note pro has a very nice spec in such a nice price gionee product is too costly

  • this phone cost almost 400 dollars which is very expensive when it compared with other phones that are of thesame range.I suggested that gionee should think about that before they will sell it thanks.

  • Please the price is our concern now. We need the price more than we need tbe phone pls

  • 1.5GHZ Quad Core would have done it well, price not known yet!

  • I am currently using Gionee M3 and the phone work perfectly well, but I wanna sell it to get Gionee M5, how much is Gionee M5?

  • it is good phone but no nfc connectivity.price is soo high

  • Price rate so high

  • It should have at least 1.7 Ghz octa core processor, otherwise chances of hanging when loaded with much data.

  • All are good but price is so high not digestable........public knows the Gionee for cheap and best quality and price....but if Gionee charge for this phone above INR 13000-15000 people will not go for this phone. So....I think ......Gionee will loose the customers

  • I think this is the first phone have 16gb internal plus memory card slot....good going gionee love it all... Bco of quality... Costly but much better quality

  • 2gm ram but 1.3Ghz quadcore not ok

  • procer is poor compare to the pricr and also the ram better to add some more things at the same price and a advance locking system because now a days privacy is the most importent thing

  • its ok sha...but why not reduce the price and add otg? it wud b reseanabe getting a higher prosessor speed though. i love my m3 sha... gud battery life and great graphics

  • Many websites are showing different processor i.e. 1.5 Ghz Quad Core MT6735. I think they are right because I confirmed it with gionee's china official website. This phone is also 4g capable through both the sims.

  • Yu yurekha & YU Yuphoria is waste. Because the volume is less and also while speaking u can't hear it properly and phone gets heat also . battery Mah is Very less .

  • This is for heavy game user,only compass and antainer support excluded.

  • Hi, d main important tin is dt d cpu (mediatek build) doesn't ova-heat like oda Chinese brands & it runs all major Android games smoothly (like Asphalt 8,PES 14)....... Hardware isn't dt bad, i believe in optimization & not jst heading extra loads on d poor processor...

  • Hi, i currently use M2 & i'm luving it... Q: Jst wnt 2 confirm if d battery is removable. Didn't buy d M3 cos of dt....... but wouldn't want 2 miss out on dt beastof a battery. WAAAAAT. !!!!!! 6020mAh !!!!!!! Big ups Gionee fam

  • watz d pr1ce of d fone

  • Battery is gud. Nd 2nd thing is camera tht is bit gud. Bt rest of all configuration is same

  • No LTE?
