The screen resolution is perfect at 1920 x 1080 pixels. These devices have no other option but to produce high end images and views. Gionee also used the 2.5D glass on the A1 and A1 plus. The display is the bomb.

CAMERA
On the A1, a 13 MP shooter was neatly placed on the rear of the device. A rather impressive 16 MP selfie camera sits comfortably beside the earpiece on the front too.
In contrast, the A1 Plus rocks a dual camera set up at the back. The set up is made of a 13 MP and a 5 MP shooter combo. On the front however, a 20 MP with LED flash exist. The 20MP selfie shooter can capture bright, natural looking selfies in almost any kind of lighting – low, mid and high.
Gionee seem to be all out to improve its users selfie experience. At launch, President of Gionee, William Lu confirmed it too. He said, “As a consumer-oriented smartphone manufacturer, we hope to set up the evolution of the selfie experience.”
Both the A1 and A1 Plus comes with LED flash on the front and rear.
