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.
