Look and feel
The Marathon M5 features a combination of metal and plastic which feels sturdy and durable.
Display:
The 5.5-inch Amoled display has a disappointingly low HD resolution, which should have ideally been full-HD. Since the pixel density is low, images and text aren’t as sharp as they should be. Colours tend to get oversaturated and feel jarring at times.
Call quality is also satisfactory.
Performance :
General interface and app performance is quite good.
Powering the Marathon M5 is the same quad-core MediaTek MT6735 SoC we saw in the previous version.
Camera:
13-megapixel camera does a good job with landscapes and macros in daylight. The level of detail is very good, even when zoomed in all the way, and colours are quite accurate. Pictures taken indoors tend to get a bit noisy, especially in low light.
Battry:
we easily managed to go three to four days without needing a charge.
