This is the Gionee Marathon M3 rebranded. Still a good value for those in the US though. I have used a few Blu phones and all were excellent build quality and the camera’s were surprisingly good for budget phones. Also received regular OTA updates.

  How do you have an 8 inch tablet the size of the S5?? The S5 is a shade under 6 inches. Unless you mean how thick it is. The size of this phone is 5.69 inches (s5 is 5.59). If you meant the depth, it is 10.4mm (S5 is 8.9mm which is what your tablet probably is).

    I think he meant the battery of his tablet is the size of a S5. (Not that I knew of any removable tablet battery) shrug…

      That’s a subjective question everyone here will say something different. I like Xiaomi and Huawei so I would say Redmi 2 or Honor 3.

  144.5 x 71.5 x 10.4 mm (5.69 x 2.81 x 0.41 in)
  galaxy s5 have 142 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm (5.59 x 2.85 x 0.32 in), so no big difference in size
