A few months ago, Gionee announced the Marathon M3, a smartphone with a 5,000mAh beast of a battery. Well, guess what? It’s now in the Philippines! For an incredible price tag of just Php7,999, you’re getting a 5 inch HD IPS display, 1.3GHz quad core processor, and battery life that should last you at least 2 to 3 days!
What’s impressive is that the Gionee Marathon M3 isn’t quite as thick as you would expect it to be. Sure, it’s not as svelte as its cousins, the Elife S5.1 and Elife S5.5. However, you wouldn’t think that it packed such a monster of a battery in that body. Itching to get one? It should already be available through official retailers.
Can it function as a battery bank?
