Gionee just adds two new flabbergast smartphones to its A series, the Gionee A1 and Gionee A1 plus. These two devices are selfie-focused ones. The key highlight of the devices are camera and battery and hence the company adds a tag line to the devices – “Super Selfie, Super Battery“.

The vital element of these new smartphones is the massive 20-megapixel camera and 16-megapixel in the former’s case on the front which is also assisted by a flash, and various additional software tidbits. 4010mAh battery on the A1 and 4550mAh for the A1 Plus.

Gionee A1 sports a 5.5 inch full HD display with 2.5D curved glass display with Gorilla Glass protection, while Gionee A1 Plus packed with a 6-inch full HD display. They both feature fingerprint sensors and will both run Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box (with, of course, the Amigo UI on top). Talking about the storage, Gionee officials reveal that A1 bears 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage capacity, which can be further expanded up to 128GB via a microSD card.
