Gionee M5 Enjoy
Alongside the M5 Plus, Gionee announced
the Marathon M5 Enjoy, a smartphone similarly specced to the original M5.
However, you better be careful when choosing between the two, as different
compromises have been made, potentially affecting user experience.
The M5 Enjoy’s display is
a TFT unit, whereas the M5 had an AMOLED panel, though both are 5.5-inch 720p
units. Battery capacity is in favor of the M5, as the M5 Enjoy comes with a
5,000 mAh power pack, and not 6,020 mAh. And instead of the 13 MP primary camera,
the M5 Enjoy only comes with an 8 MP snapper. Where the new model trumps the old
one is the inclusion of a fingerprint scanner.
There rest is mostly the same, a
Mediatek MT6735 chipset with a quad-core CPU, 3 GB of RAM and Android 5.1
Lollipop. Internal storage has been sliced halved to 16 GB, but is still
expandable. The Marathon M5 Enjoy is more modestly priced, compared to the
Plus, and goes for CNY 1,999 (US$ 310).
