Gionee’s Marathon M5 Plus smartphone was unveiled at a December event in China, and it was expected that it would also become available for other markets. Some months later we know now the Gionee Marathon M5 Plus India price as announced at the launch for the country.

When the M5 Plus launched in China it was priced at the equivalent of Rs. 25,575. That doesn’t always reflect the final price when a device arrives for sale in another region, but this time it wasn’t too far out.

The battery has fast charging and is claimed to last for up to 34 hours on standby.

Further specs include a 13-megapixel rear camera with PDAF, LED flash, and 1080p video capture, and at the front there’s a 5-megapixel shooter.
