Gionee A1 made its intro in the MWC 2017 at Barcelona. We got our chance to admire the phone in the first Gionee Nepal Bloggers Meet 2017. This phone is on the verge of arrival in Nepal. We are one of the first country to get it globally. Gionee Nepal has started the Pre-Booking of this phone. Gionee A1’s price in Nepal is Rs 32,999
This is one of the leading share holder in Nepali smartphone market. It is tagged as #SuperSelfieSuperBattery by the company. Customers will get this phone from April 4th 2017. A1 is a mid range priced phone with quite punchy specs. It is giving a lot of competition to lots of smartphone in the market.
Gionee is tagging many of its feature as Super and well we also admit that they are good. Lets us start this discussion by listing the specs. These are the hardware specification of Gionee A1.
| SoC | Mediatek Helio P25 |
| Processor | Octacore (2 GHz QC+ 1 GHz QC) |
| GPU | Mali T860MP2 |
| RAM | 4 GB |
| Internal Storage | 64 GB |
| SD Card | Max 128 GB |
| Battery | 4010 mAh |
| Screen | 5.5” 1080p AMOLED |
| Camera | 13 MP f/2.0 Back, 16 MP f/2.0 front |
It’s amazing that company is packing so much powerful hardware at this price. It is almost a flagship range hardware. We are highly impressed by the hardware inside the Gionee A1. It stands just like its name at top class.
Tear Down
Consumers are getting enough internal memory and RAM. This is the best offer anyone can throw on the table in terms of memory. The A1 holds O core processor comprising two quad-core chips. It is a Mediatek Chipset so works well with Mali Graphics unit. Gionee is currently running Android Nougat and rocking 4010 mAh battery.
This really backs up your phone with heavy usage as well. We are fascinated with the inclusion of the AMOLED screen. The main back camera is 13 MP but the front camera is 16 MP which is very surprising. Almost all mobiles have better back camera but it is opposite here.
Front selfie camera is better in pixel count than main camera. Both can handle 1080p footage recording. New Sony lens and increased FOV produces fantastic selfies and videos. We do get quick charge, fingerprint scanner, compass, gyroscope etc. It also supports Dual SIM with 4G LTE.
Pre-Booking and Special: Pre booking is running till April 3rd. People can register through Facebook Page, showroom and e-store. Customer who do pre-booking at Rs 5000 will get JBL Bluetooth speaker worth Rs 4000. People can go to Sastodeal.com, Tamrakar Complex and Gitanjali at Pako, Newroad
We are also very excited to do full review of this phone. So keep updated with us and share your thoughts.
