agree on the dialer part. Amigo ui on the whole needs more polishing.

i am using true dialler, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truecaller.phoneapp&hl=en

atleast helps me identify all numbers and the classic dark theme suits my taste.

Chart Topper: The Gionee Marathon M5 battery life test is in

Gionee Marathon M5 is one truly fascinating device. This chubby fella is heavy at 211g for a reason - the 5.5" smartphone is powered by a massive Li-Po 6,020 mAh. The mid-range chipset in charge of the Marathon M5 isn't popular as a power efficient silicone, but considering the battery size and the modest quad-core processor, it shouldn't matter that much.

The M5 utilizes a 5.5" AMOLED screen, which may affect the power performance, too, as the AMOLEDs turned out not that great performance on previous Gionee smartphones.

Enough with the introductions, let's get down to business, shall we?

Gionee has rated the M5 capable of making 68 hours of 2G calls and 28 hours when hooked on to a 3G network. In our testing the M5 lasted 38 hours worth of calltime on a 3G networK

Finally, the video playback test should tell you how long the M5 will last you when watching your favorite TV show on it. The M5 has enough juice to go north of 26 hours at video playback before hitting our critical 10% battery threshold. Now that's impressive!

Our final endurance score factors in standby battery performance as well. When using only one SIM card on the M5, it can stay on standby for more than 15 days. Opting for a second SIM card will reduce the standby performance by a day - down to 14 days.

So, Gionee Marathon M5 scored a 148h overall endurance rating with one SIM and 144 h with two SIM cards, which means you can count on the battery to last 6 days on both occasions if you do an hour each of calling, web browsing and video playback a day.

We ran our web browsing script on the Gionee Marathon M5, which mimics normal browsing with a few web pages saved on our servers. The M5 managed to run the script for few minutes short of 31 hours - a really impressive score. Then again - the M5 packs a massive battery and modest specs, so it isn’t that surprising, and, in fact, it could have been better.
