The phone runs on OS Amigo 3.1, Gionee’s very own software based on Android 5.1 Lollipop. Its innovative reverse OTS charging has grabbed the attention of Nepali consumers as well. Priced at Rs 39,999, the smartphone is a good buy. Samir Dhungana, Marketing Manager at Tele Talk said, “The Marathon series has been enjoying worldwide popularity since its inception,” adding, “The success achieved by this series can be credited to its large battery capacity, dual chip charging and memory.” Citing that the M series has a range of smartphones which are available in Nepal, Dhungana said, “Although M5 Plus is the newest addition to the range, it was one of the highly anticipated models in the domestic market.” According to him, its great functions, battery life and innovative specifications have led the company to believe it will do exceptionally well in the domestic market. The smartphone has a full metallic frame; its sleek design compliments the water drop screen. Its unique selling pro-position is the powerful 5020 mAh battery, which is twice the capacity of an average phone. It has dual charging chips that support fast charging and reverse charging as well.
