Display and Build: The Gionee M3 is the successor to the bestial M2 which had ridiculous battery life just like the current gen Marathon device and it has received several upgrades from its predecessor. The display is a HD panel measuring 5” diagonally (1280*720) with a near 300 ppi pixel density.
Internal Specifications and Operating System Gionee has supplied the M3 with a quad core cortex A-7 processor with a Mali 450 GPU and 1GB of ram to take on tasks, the storage is an 8GB flash memory which is twice the amount of last year’s M2 with a micro SD slot for expandability. The phone has a 5000mah battery up from the 4200 mah battery from the M2. The sensors included are a accelerometer, proximity and compass.
The phone runs on Google’s Kitkat v4.4.2 which has battery optimizations and should see through a great battery life for the M3.
Camera The camera unit is a standard 8MP camera with autofocus and LED flash with features like smile detection and panorama. It can record 720p video and the front camera is a 2MP unit.
Connectivity The M3 has quad band GSM, 3G/HSDPA and LTE. It has Wifi, A-GPS, Bluetooth v4.0 and FM Radio. The phone features dual sim with dual standby.
Final Words The Gionee M3 is the best phone if you are only interested in battery life and battery life alone, the upgrades are quite good from the previous gen model and you should have a better multimedia experience thanks to its new HD panel up from a lower resolution display from the M2 and the phone has commendable performance thanks to its quad core processor and Android Kitkat.
