Gionee today launched its Marathon M5 smartphone at a price of Rs 17,999. The smartphone will be available exclusively on Flipkart. The Marathon M5 is powered by a massive 6,020 mAh battery and the company claims four days of battery life.

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 separately.
