"Lenovo C 90". Mobile phone Lenovo S90. Description, characteristics and reviews

Today we will try to make as comprehensive a review as possible of Lenovo S 90. So this model is usually called in Russian, although its original index is S90. It should be said that the development is very ambitious and deserves attention.

Positioning

Traditionally, Lenovo's designs differ in their own style and originality, so it seems a bit strange to create a virtually complete copy of the iPhone 6 smartphone. The only difference is the front panel, which was able to express itself only thanks to the touch buttons under the screen. "Lenovo C 90" is designed for users who dream about the iPhone, but not able to buy it because of the large price. I must say that this is the first representative of the device family of the manufacturer in the new two-digit S series. It is curious that the Chinese brand tried to copy even the attributes of the presentation of the mobile phone from Apple.

Design, size, controls

In the "Lenovo S 90" on the top panel are the main antennas. For this, an insert made of plastic is used. Consider the lower part of the case. The back panel has a transparent insert, as in the iPhone 6. The external similarity of the devices is striking, but if you look in detail at S90, you can see the modified design elements. Speaker grille, connector and other screws. Let's look at the opinion of people who have already used "Lenovo S 90".

The testimonies testify that small author's strokes do not affect the feeling of complete identity. It should be noted that, in contrast to Apple, the Chinese manufacturer was able to make the main camera module with the case level. Lenovo paid less attention to the materials of the case. In this aspect, there is a significant lag behind the device iPhone. If we talk about metal, the Chinese apparatus uses an alloy of aluminum, as in the prototype.

Theoretically, we can talk about equal characteristics of devices. Practice has shown that our hero has a smaller layer of coverage. Let's see what the Lenovo S 90 owners think about this.

Testimonials confirm that dents may appear in the impact, thus bright metal will be visible. The screen is installed with the case flush and it is distinguished by a minimal gap, which does not allow inserting even the thinnest sheet of paper. Applied glass is very soft. This solution provides strength, but does not guarantee safety against possible scratches. The color options for the device are four: Cotton Candy, Champagne Gold, Graphite Gray, Platinum.

The size of the smartphone is 146 x 71.7 x 6.9 mm, with a weight of 129 grams. In the hand lies well. Metal slightly cold palm. The tray for the microSIM pair is on the left. The device has one radio module. The right side is complemented by a paired volume control button and a power button. The bottom panel has a microUSB connector and one speaker. The upper end has a 3.5 mm connector. The negative features include the fact that in frosty weather, communication with the headset may be lost. It is best to use the headphones from the kit, with them there is no difficulty.

The front panel has 3 touch keys located under the display, above the screen there is an 8 megapixel camera, supplemented with a fixed autofocus, and an LED flash. In addition to the disadvantages of glass, we can say that the build quality is very decent, but the iPhone is still far ahead in this indicator.

"Lenovo S 90": characteristics of the screen

Display indicators are: size - 5 inches, resolution - 1280 x 720 pixels, type - Super AMOLED. However, the latter statement is not credible, since such screens are produced only by Samsung and only for its own devices. In any case, the display behaves well on the street and has excellent viewing angles.

If we consider the automatic adjustment of the backlight, we can say that it is quite aggressive, the picture too often dims under this mode. Some critics note that the apparatus paid insufficient attention to the smoothedness of the fonts, which can be seen when working with programs.

Performance, memory and chipset

Lenovo S90's price is much lower than some competitors, while LTE support is realized thanks to the chipset from Qualcomm. It's about MSM8916, Snapdragon 410 with four cores (1.2 GHz) and graphics accelerator Adreno 306. The smartphone works quickly and does not cause any complaints. The processor performs well in demanding applications, however, the power consumption increases. RAM here is 2 Gigabytes, built-in - 32 GB, support for memory cards is not provided.

Communication capabilities

"Lenovo C 90" got a module LTE and Bluetooth 3.0, in which there is no LE, so the user will be unavailable a number of accessories. NFC is also not provided. Supported USB version 2.0, there is a mode of Mass Storage.

Battery, camera, software, multimedia features

Lenovo C 90 received a Li-Pol battery at 2300 mAh. If you believe the application developers, the device can provide 27 or 18 hours of autonomous communication, respectively, when using a second or third generation communication. As for the standby mode, the device can hold in it from 15 to 18 days. The battery can be attributed to the weak sides of the device. Full charge time is 2 hours.

Shooting pleases with its quality when working indoors, and both photos and video. The phone received a sensor PureCel, the authorship of OmniVision. LED flash can not be called very powerful, although it is quite able to cope with the task assigned to it. The camera interface is convenient, there is an electronic level, as well as a logarithmic split of the display for photographers who want to build the composition as correctly as possible. The front sensor is 8-megapixel, it has a fixed focus and LED flash.

The smartphone runs under the Android 4.4.4 platform, which is supplemented by the Vibe UI add-on. Here, FM radio is present, and sound recording directly from the air is supported. A special player for playing music is missing, for this it is supposed to use Play Music from Google. The hardware equalizer makes it possible to adjust the sound to your own needs. The phone is nice to listen to. The maximum volume level is quite comfortable, but there is no stock in the device. Another important feature of Lenovo C 90 is price. You can buy a smartphone in the range from 11 to 16 thousand rubles, depending on the place of purchase.
