Gionee A1: What’s inside?
Gionee A1 is the flagship phone of the company for the year 2017. So, it obviously comes with decent specs (minus the processor) and has managed to be in a price range of mid-ranger. What makes this device more appealing is a few of its offerings that other phones in similar price range fail to deliver. Like, the 18W Ultra fast charging based on dual charging chip technology and 16MP, F2.0 selfie camera unit. The mobile boots on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box layered with Amigo OS on top. Other than that, here’s a quick specs overview of this smartphone.

We spent some time with the device a couple of weeks ago and did an early impression review of the device and if you’re interested to read more, here’s our:
Gionee A1 Early Impression (Review)
Verdict:
Gionee A1 was launched at an event at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on 28th February. Its availability in Nepal just after a month of international launch is admirable. Unlike many other Chinese phones that get overpriced just after landing in Nepal, this phone has become an exception that is priced just right, maybe that’s because of offline sales.
Plus, the pre-bookers getting a free JBL GO speaker is an added benefit. Kudos to Gionee Nepal and Sastodeal for bring such offer to the Nepali customers. And looking at what the phone has to offer at its pricing, the phones at similar price range might be getting some sales threat once the device goes on sale (likely, on 31st March).But, We’ll certainly have our hands on the device again and count on us for its full review very soon.
