The USP of Gionee’s Marathon series of smartphones is battery life. The device supports reverse charging, which means you can use the Marathon M5 as a power bank to charge other devices. However, users will have to buy the reverse charging cable seperately. There is an extreme mode which can boost the battery life even further by restricting access to phone calls, messages, contacts and clock.
