LENOVO A7000 - THE BIG REVIEW


Lenovo A6000 which was released last year made quite a splash in the segment becoming the cheapest 4G smartphone then. It has followed up with another upgrade named A7000. This smartphone is said to be a competitor to the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G, Micromax Yu Yureka and Microsoft Lumia 640 XL. Have a look at the specifications. Will it impress you?

PROCESSOR
Lenovo A7000 comes with a 1.5GHz octa-core Mediatek chip and 2GB RAM, making it a powerful smartphone for the price. The performance is splendid and you would be hard pressed to push this smartphone to its limits using the regular apps.

DISPLAY & DESIGN
Lenovo A7000 is a little plain, maintaining the look of its predecessor. It is made entirely of plastic. However, it is very light at 140grams and you would be able to use it for extended periods of time without noticing the weight.


CAMERA
Lenovo A7000 has an 8MP camera with LED flash. It comes with several shooting modes and image editing features but the images we captured at the booth were less than satisfactory. The front 5MP camera, however, is very good, at par with the ones we have seen on rival smartphones.

SOFTWARE
The new A7000 smartphone runs on Lenovo's Vibe UI.  The custom software is built on Android Lolllipop 5.0, so there are a few animations you will certainly notice. The performance is very smooth.

MEMORY
It comes with 8GB internal storage and a microSD card slot that supports cards up to 32GB.

BATTERY
There’s a 2900mAh replaceable battery which is good enough for this price. The dual-sim phone supports Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, and 4G LTE connectivity options.

PRICE
The official price of the Lenovo A7000 is Rs. 8,999/- The device will be available on Flipkart only. Registrations open from 22nd April 6 PM to 28th April Midnight. Register now to buy Lenovo A7000 on the 29th of April 2015 at 2 PM.

Lenovo A7000 has the potential to make waves in the Indian budget smartphone segment. It is a multimedia powerhouse with a fast 64 bit processor, HD IPS display and Dolby Atmos speakers. It is bound to face tough competition from YU Yureka, Redmi and Huawei Honor series. So stay tuned to this space.

SAVE THE INTERNET

Save the Internet - Net Neutrality
The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.  The internet allows people all over the world to connect and exchange information freely. Recently, there is a whole new concept of net neutrality which is viral over the internet

What is net neutrality??

Save the Internet - Net Neutrality
It’s important for access to knowledge, services and free speech, as well as freedom and ease of doing business online, for this access to be neutral
Net Neutrality is about:
– All content is equal and content should be easily accessible
– No telecom-style licensing of Internet companies
– No gateways
– No speeding up of specific websites  
– No “zero rating” or making some sites free over others  

The condition of Net Neutrality in India

What do you do when you need to access the internet? We generally buy a data pack or buy a monthly pack from your ISP provider, then use it in your smartphone, laptop or PC and start browsing.  What if your telecom service providers give access to some sites like Facebook, Flipkart, Amazon and others for free and for others you need to buy a newer pack. The other sites would be eventually very slower and you will be forced to browse only certain sites. Telecos in india want the option of doing just that. As of 2015, India has no laws governing net neutrality, which would promise all the internet users to be treated equally on the internet, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communication. There have already been a few violations of net neutrality in India by some service providers.
The debate on network neutrality in India started after Airtel, a mobile telephony service provider in India, announced in December 2014 to charge additional rates for making voice calls (VoIP) from its network using apps like WhatsApp, Skype, etc.
Telecom operators/ISPs are access services providers, and can control either how much you access, what you access, how fast you access and how much you pay to access content and services on the Internet. They want to change the way internet is accessed in India. In April 2015, Airtel announced the "Airtel Zero" scheme. Under the scheme, app firms sign a contract and Airtel provides the apps for free to its customers.

What further?

Save the Internet - Net Neutrality
Due to intense lobbying by telecom operators like Airtel and Vodafone, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is planning to allow them to block apps and websites to extort more money from consumers and businesses — an extreme violation of net neutrality. In March 2015, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) released a formal consultation paper on Regulatory Framework for Over-the-top (OTT) services, seeking comments from the public. TRAI has released a consultation paper with 20 questions spread across 118 complicated pages and wants you to send them an e-mail by 24th of April, 2015. The consultation paper was criticized for being one sided and having confusing statements. It received condemnation from various politicians and Indian internet users. By 14 April 2015, over 3,00,000 emails had been sent to TRAI demanding net neutrality.

What can we do?

Let’s join the fight for net neutrality. Let’s remind TRAI that their job is to protect the rights of consumers, not the profit margins of telcos. Let’s demand access to the free, open internet. Onternet is probably the last place where each and every one is equal. The internet is the most essential requirement for the future irrespective of the future. After US and Brazil, it is the chance for India to adopt Net Neutrality and progress at a much larger pace.
Log on to savetheinternet.in, type your name and email address and with just 2 clicks, you can send an email to TRAI. Do tell your friends to do the same.

THE INTERNET NEEDS YOU!!
