Games like Asphalt 8: Airborne and Dead Effect 2 ran without frame rate drops, and I could flip between games and other apps without any lag. The 5.5-inch screen is good for movies and videos, and I had a good time streaming shows on our test unit.
I am however disappointed that the Gionee A1 got hot quite often. After just 30 minutes of gaming, it was uncomfortable to hold. This also happened when I used GPS for navigation and when using the camera app or even talking on the phone for a long time. Our unit even restarted itself a few times after getting warm, which isn’t something I expect from a phone no matter its price. This issue ruined the overall usage experience for me
