Phone "Lenovo A606": reviews and features

Chinese manufacturers do not cease to please their fans with new products in the mobile devices market. However, instead of the next smartphone created using new technologies, the budget segment was replenished with a cheap phone Lenovo A606. Reviews of owners in the media assure others that in the price category up to 5000 rubles, the novelty simply does not have competitors. It remains only to get to know the characteristics of the mobile phone and find out what is so good about the Chinese smartphone.

First meeting

The Chinese have never pleased buyers with a rich bundle. A regular box of white with a picture on it of the phone has a miniature size. Inside it, the user will find: a charger, headphones, battery, instruction and a gadget "Lenovo A606". Customer feedback assures that the stereo headset in the kit is a kind of miracle, because most manufacturers have long ceased to supply them with smartphones.

Will please future owners and appearance with build quality. It's nice to feel in the hands of a massive phone, and not a piece of light plastic. To the quality of the assembly, you will not find fault - no flaws. All joints are even, there are no bevels, and even the battery cover does not creak. By the way, the back cover has a rubber coating. This affects the ease of use - the phone will not only not slip out of your hands, but it will perfectly stay on any surface.

The most important component

Suppose that performance and communication are important for the smartphone "Lenovo A606" characteristics, user feedback is assured otherwise. The quality of the LCD in priority. Here the producer behaved quite strangely. The matrix in the 5-inch phone is modern - IPS, but the screen resolution is only 854x480 pixels. This is a very low indicator for the device of the XXI century.

As for the sensor, then with it, not everything is as good as the user would like. It recognizes no more than two touches, and ghost presses may occur during operation. The device does not have a protective glass and easily collects dirt from the fingers, so the owner needs to monitor the cleanliness of his hands while using the smartphone. Alternatively, you can stick a protective film on the screen.

This camera

Many users believe that the manufacturer acted unreasonably when he supplied his product with a low-quality display and turned a Lenovo A606 smartphone into a digital camera. The feedback of the owners attributed to the advantages of the camera phone functionality. The sensor is 8-megapixel. And it is implemented at the hardware level (no software interpolations). Automatic focus works perfectly, as in sunny weather, and in poor lighting. However, in the dark there are problems with exposure, the camera can not correctly select the ISO. An additional 2-megapixel device, located above the display, has the usual characteristics and does not attract users.

Will like the future owners and the work of the video camera. After all, not every smartphone from the budget class can shoot in the format FullHD (1920x1080 dots per inch) at a rate of 15 frames per second. In the process of capturing video, servicing autofocus demonstrates perfect performance. By the way, the sound is recorded in stereo mode.

Platform Performance

Phone "Lenovo A606", reviews about the speed of work is two-fold. On the one hand, users note that 4 cores in the system running at 1300 MHz, and 1 gigabyte of RAM are coping with many resource-intensive programs. But fans of dynamic toys assure others that the potential for performance of this smartphone is missing. After all, half of the operative memory is taken over by the services of the Android operating system operating in the background, and the Mediatek MT6582 processor for games is rather weak.

The integrated video adapter Mali-400MP2 does not inspire confidence either, however, in the testing program AnTuTu, the smartphone managed to gain 17 thousand points, bypassing more expensive competitors. As for non-volatile memory, its volume is 8 gigabytes. True, this figure exists only on paper. In fact, only 4.8 GB is available to the user, everything else is occupied by firmware and "Android" programs.

Strange multimedia work

The branded video player built into the Lenovo A606 phone has positive feedback from all device owners of this manufacturer. The program supports all known formats (audio and video). In addition, at the hardware level, support for FLAC, MPG, DivX, H.264 is implemented. That is, the device can easily reproduce the MKV file in FullHD resolution without any problems. That's just a liquid crystal display smartphone will not be able to display the beauty of high-quality pictures.

Once again, the company "Lenovo" ignored the requests of fans and did not realize the support for subtitles and the possibility of changing the sound track in its branded video player. Negative feedback in the media on this issue is understandable.

Autonomy of work

Low platform performance and low screen resolution compensates for the battery life of Lenovo A606 smartphone. Responses of the owners are quite predictable. A battery with a capacity of 2000 mAh on one charge in standby mode can last 8 calendar days. As for watching video, it will be possible to discharge the battery for 6 hours of continuous viewing at maximum brightness. But with listening to music in general, the situation is incomprehensible - with the display off, the battery lasted two and a half days.

Users may experience problems charging the device. The fact is that the power supply is impulse and supplies the smartphone with a large current. On the one hand, the battery is charged quickly (up to two hours from scratch). And on the other hand, the power controller of the smartphone can fail, because in our outlets the voltage constantly jumps.

Wireless technologies

Yes, support for a full 4G LTE is a pleasant bonus for all owners of the Lenovo A606 smartphone. Feedback from owners on the Internet is only positive. Also, there are no claims from users for the operation of GSM and EDGE. Mobile networks work like a clock. Confused only by the presence of just one slot for installing the SIM-card, because all the famous manufacturers have long been producing devices designed to install two cards of mobile operators.

The owners of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless modules do not have questions, as well as the GPS module, which perfectly copes with its task of global positioning. Many users are pleased with the additional functionality implemented in the device: an accelerometer, a proximity sensor and an illumination sensor. Let this is a trifle, but still nice.

Finally

It is clear that the potential buyer has a dual opinion about the smartphone "Lenovo A606". Reviews, price and specifications in the aggregate will still prevail when choosing a decent device in the budget class. But all the same, it is necessary to decide before the purchase with the functional, because the mobile phone is not able to please all at the same time. It is not designed to work with resource-intensive games, and with a colorful picture on the screen, he has obvious problems. It will appeal to more undemanding customers who are looking for an inexpensive smartphone with great functionality and the ability to work on the Internet.
