Chart Topper: The Gionee Marathon M5 battery life test is in Gionee Marathon M5 is one truly fascinating device. This chubby fella is heavy at 211g for a reason - the 5.5" smartphone is powered by a massive Li-Po 6,020 mAh. The mid-range chipset in charge of the Marathon M5 isn't popular as a power efficient silicone, but considering the battery size and the modest quad-core processor, it shouldn't matter that much. The M5 utilizes a 5.5" AMOLED screen, which may affect the power performance, too, as the AMOLEDs turned out not that great performance on previous Gionee smartphones. Enough with the introductions, let's get down to business, shall we? Gionee has rated the M5 capable of making 68 hours of 2G calls and 28 hours when hooked on to a 3G network. In our testing the M5 lasted 38 hours worth of calltime on a 3G networK Talk time Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 LTE46:44h Gionee Marathon M538:07h Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro33:20h Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G33:19h

When using only one SIM card on the M5, it can stay on standby for more than 15 days. Opting for a second SIM card will reduce the standby performance by a day - down to 14 days. So, Gionee Marathon M5 scored a 148h overall endurance rating with one SIM and 144 h with two SIM cards, which means you can count on the battery to last 6 days on both occasions if you do an hour each of calling, web browsing and video playback a day. We ran our web browsing script on the Gionee Marathon M5, which mimics normal browsing with a few web pages saved on our servers. The M5 managed to run the script for few minutes short of 31 hours - a really impressive score. Then again - the M5 packs a massive battery and modest specs, so it isn’t that surprising, and, in fact, it could have been better. more here http://www.gsmarena.com/chart_topper_the_gionee_marathon_m5_battery_life_test_is_in-blog-16934.php

Reliance Jio LYF Earth 1 4G enabled smartphone launched in India One of the interesting announcements was made by Reliance Jio recently about its plan of rolling out 4G services. The mobile telephony company will be starting with the 4G services from its employees. If successful, the company will be planning to provide the data services to consumers as well! Followed by the launch of its 4G services, the company has all plans to release 4G enabled handsets under the flagship of LYF brand, namely LYF Earth 1. When we had a chance to get a glimpse of the phone, it enabled mid-range hardware and operates on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. The phone also has 13MP unit for imaging and 2MP smaller unit for depth sensing. The rear camera of the Smartphone is expected to be 5 MP which can help the users to take great selfies. Other features of the Reliance Jio’s LYF Earth 1 are 5.5-inch full HD display, 1.5 GHZ Octacore processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB expandable internal storage, and 3500 mAh battery. The handset weighs 162 gms and has a metal & glass build-up. The device is expected to possess outstanding gaming capabilities also. As of now, there are no details about the roll-out of the smartphone but we are expecting any time soon. Also, there is no knowledge about the roll out of 4G services as well. These details were first reported by IBNLive and then verified by Gadgets360 from Reliance Jio. No matter, whenever the Smartphone gets released, we are keeping our fingers crossed and wishing Reliance Jio, all the best! http://www.tecake.com/reliance-jio-lyf-earth-1-4g-enabled-smartphone-launched-india/

found a cool gesture feature in the M5 click on the hardware button for recent apps. Now shake ur phone and you will feel a vibration and all recent apps will be cleared. cool feature i must say apart from the above i like how everyday 4 new lock screen wallpapers get uploaded automatically. And when u use the phone, different lock screen wallpapers greet u every time. U can access this settings by long pressing on the lock screen.

RCom in talks with Aircel to combine mobile businesses Reliance Communications (RCom) is in talks with shareholders of telecom operator Aircel for a potential merger of the wireless or mobile businesses of the two companies. The Anil Ambani-led telecom company said, "It has entered into a 90-day exclusivity period with Maxis Communications Berhad (MCB) and Sindya Securities and Investments Private Limited, the shareholders of Aircel Limited, to consider the potential combination of the Indian wireless businesses of RCom and Aircel." RCom is already in the process of merging Indian mobile telephony business of Sistema Shyam Teleservices under MTS brand. According to sources, the proposal on the table includes operation of mobile business of three companies - RCom, MTS and Aircel, under a new entity led by RCom. The merged entity will be created through equity deal where RCom's shareholders are looking for three shares against each held by them. The current debt of RCom, estimated to be around Rs 10,000 crore, will be transferred to this new entity and the company will become free of debt, sources said. "RCom has expressed interest in focusing on enterprise business while the new entity, whose brand and other details will be finalised later, will run mobile business created by using resources of RCom, Aircel and MTS," they said. The combination of RCom, Aircel, MTS wireless businesses will hold 19.3 per cent of the total spectrum allocated to the the industry - the highest in the country by an entity. The new entity, which is in the works, will hold spectrum across all allocated bands -- 800 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1800 Mhz, 2100 Mhz and 2300 MHz -- for 2G, 3G and 4G services. "With merger of MTS and Aircel, Reliance Communications will become a formidable entity with approximately 200 million subscribers. Furthermore, with spectrum consolidation, it can plan its longer term business strategy better," Gartner Research Director Amresh Nandan said. "It will allow them (RCom) to target high-end services on mobile broadband and business-centric mobility solutions." RCom said the idea of potential combination of business with Aircel is to mutually derive expected substantial benefits of in-country consolidation, including operating expenditure (opex) and capital expenditure (capex) synergies and revenue enhancement. "The discussions are non-binding in nature. Any transaction will be subject to due diligence, definitive documentation and regulatory, shareholders' and other third-party approvals. Hence, there is no certainty that any transaction will result," the company said. The potential combination will exclude RCom's towers and optical fibre infrastructure, for which RCom is proceeding with an asset sale, as announced on December 4, 2015. On December 4, RCom said it had signed a non-binding pact to sell its cellular towers to private equity firm Tillman Global Holdings LLC and TPG Asia Inc in an estimated Rs 30,000-crore deal to pare debt. The stock of RCom closed at 85.70, up 2.39 per cent, on BSE today. source http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/rcom-in-talks-with-aircel-to-combine-mobile-businesses-115122200577_1.html

http://www.gsmarena.com/gionee_m5_lite-7803.php zuaba shows 5000 pcs of Gionee M5 lite have been shipped to india specs are nothing to boast - 5" screen ,4000mAH battery, 3gb ram and 8mp back camera, same MT processor. seems they want to target the 5" screen customers but with very laid back specs. camera shd not hv been reduced to 8mp.

even i was apprehensive, but after using 5.5" i hv got used to it and also feel why was i using such a small screen 4.7" earlier. ps : i suffer from a bad eyesite so bigger screen = better viewing its not a deal breaker for me since cdma is my primary number.
