Gionee Marathon M4 Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Operating on Android 5.0 Lollipop with Gionee's Amigo 3 overlay, the Marathon M4 delivers a fairly smooth experience, if somewhat hindered by its hardware limitations. The device is powered by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor, paired with a Mali-400 GPU. This setup struggled with demanding tasks, but it was sufficient for basic smartphone functions, including web browsing and social media. With 2GB of RAM, multitasking is decent, though more demanding applications can cause some slowdowns. Internal storage is limited to 16GB, which can be expanded via a dedicated microSDHC slot.
