Lenovo A6000 - THE BIG REVIEW
Lenovo A6000 was
another exciting launch at the CES 2015. This 4G LTE smartphone will be
launched in India on 16th January. It is tipped to take the
competition against Redmi Note 4G and Micromax YU Yureka to a whole new level.
PROCESSOR
The A6000 is powered
by a 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916) SoC clocked at 1.2GHz.
The mobile is coupled with 1GB of RAM. The graphics is powered by Adreno 306
GPU.
DISPLAY
The Lenovo A6000
features a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) IPS display, which is smaller than
5.5-inch the display on both Micromax's Yu Yureka and Xiaomi's Redmi Note 4G. The smartphone measures 141 x 70 x 8.2 mm, weighs
128 grams. The dual-SIM smartphone
supports Micro-SIM cards.
CAMERA
It features a rear
camera of 8 megapixels and a front facing camera of 2 MP with LED flash.
ANDROID
This dual SIM
smartphone features the older Android 4.4 Kitkat OS. The look is enhanced with
Vibe UI 2.0. However an update to the
android version should be provided soon.
MEMORY
A6000 has 1 GB RAM and
an internal storage of 8 GB. The storage can be extended up to 32GB via a
microSD card.
BATTERY
The smartphone has a 2300
mAh battery which is quite less for its large HD screen. The battery is not
removable which comes out as a disappointment.
PRICE
The official price of
the Lenovo A6000 is yet to be known. However, rumours suggest that it could be
around Rs. 10,000. The phone will be launched in India on 16th
January. It will be available only through Flipkart.
The segment in which Lenovo A6000
is launched is the hottest in town. However, the key feature which could decide
its popularity will surely be its price. It needs to be priced very
aggressively below Rs. 9000 which will trigger the competition between itself,
Yureka and Redmi Note. The latter two are much better in terms of
specifications.
