Battery Of Gionee A1:-

Gionee A1 comes with a 4010mAh battery which easily lasts a day for me, depending upon your usage, it could go beyond, but I don’t think you have to worry about the battery in mid of day.

Audio Quality of Gionee A1:-

Gionee A1 features a single bottom firing speaker which is decent enough for an average user, and even if you place device on a flat surface, audio will not get muffled but if you play games in landscape mode, you will end up by blocking audio.

Gionee A1 was able to handle moderate to heavy task without any hiccups, we played games, did heavy multi-tasking and all, but nothing major issue was there, and this is what we expect from a device with such hardware. MediaTek P10 is known for its heating issue, and same we have felt on this device as well, however, you won’t find heating every other time, but when you play games for a long period, then you will see some heading.
