Phone "Lenovo S850": customer reviews

A stylish smartphone with a diagonal of 5-inch touch screen and good hardware stuffing is all about Lenovo S850. Feedback from owners about this smart phone, as well as its detailed technical parameters will be discussed in detail below.

For whom this smartphone?

It's enough just to take a quick look at the phone "Lenovo S850" and it becomes clear that this model is aimed at the female audience. Slim body, which combines glass and plastic, in three colors: pink, white and dark blue. And the first two variants of the color design of the gadget are targeted specifically at the weak half of humanity. And only the dark blue version is universal and will suit both men and women. Therefore, this device can be safely attributed to women's smartphones and give it to their second half for a holiday, such as Christmas, New Year or birthday.

Boxed version

The phone "Lenovo S850" manufacturer originally belonged to the segment of medium devices. Now it can already be considered a budget class solution. But the bundle allows this gadget to be attributed to the middle segment of smart phones. It includes such components and accessories:

• Smartphone with a non-removable battery and non-separable casing.
• A standard interface cable with USB connectors and, of course, MicroUSB. With it, you can charge the battery or connect to any personal computer with a USB port.
• Stereo headset with headphones and an additional set of pneumatic attachments to them.
• Charger with an output current of 1 A.
• Clip for extracting sim cards.
• A quick guide to setup and operation and, of course, a warranty card.

Although the body of the device is made of reliable and high-quality materials, it will be difficult for the smartphone owner to do without a cover. A similar situation with the front panel, which is more reliable to protect with a special film. These two accessories will have to be bought immediately for an additional fee. But the external flash drive to owners of this device is not needed. There is no slot for installing it in this device.

Device design, location of communication ports and controls

Much in common in the design of the iPhone 5S and Lenovo S850. Reviews of the owners of this smart phone on this feature indicate. On the front panel of the device is a 5-inch IPS-display. Underneath it is a touch panel of three control buttons. Above the screen is a conversational speaker (it is protected by a metal grid), a front camera and a number of sensors. The sides of the smartphone are made of plastic, but in appearance it looks very much like metal (a similar design solution is implemented in the device from Apple). On the right side of the gadget are a lock button and a rocker, providing volume control device. On the left edge there is a SIM card slot. Here the main loud speaker is output. On the bottom of the smart phone are all the wired ports of the gadget: MicroUSB and, of course, an audio port. The case of the device and the back cover are made of impact-resistant glass (again there is an analogy with the smartphone from Apple). It has a main camera hole and an LED backlight for it. Also here there is a manufacturer's logo, which in combination is an indicator of events.

CPU

One of the best entry-level processors is installed in Lenovo S850. Reviews on the hardware resources of this smartphone - is superfluous to this confirmation. MT6582 (just such a chip is used in this gadget) can easily cope with any, even the most demanding task. This CPU consists of 4 computational modules, which are based on the energy-efficient architecture of "Cortex-A7". Each single core can not boast of a high level of performance, but their number allows to solve the problem with a lack of computing resources. Depending on the load, the frequency of each computational module can vary from 600 MHz to 1.3 GHz. If you need only one or two cores to solve the problem, the unactivated modules are disabled. It is this algorithm of the processor part of the device that allows to achieve a high level of system performance and to save the life of the built-in battery. Finally it is worth noting that one of the most demanding gaming applications to date - "Asphalt 8" - will work without problems on this phone model.

Display and video accelerator

A very high-quality display is equipped with a phone "Lenovo S850". Reviews highlight this is its advantage against the background of competitors. Its matrix is based on the most common technology to date - IPS. This provides viewing angles that are as close as possible to 180 degrees. Also, brightness, color rendition and contrast are impeccable. The resolution of the screen in this model is 1280x720, that is, the image on the display is displayed in HD format. Also, it should be noted that there is no air gap between the sensor surface and the screen matrix in this device, which means that the picture quality improves. The smartphone Lenovo S850 is equipped with a graphics accelerator Mali-400MP2. Of course, it can not boast of a high level of performance, but its computing capabilities are quite enough to solve any task to date, including the most demanding of the smartphone's hardware resources.

Photo and video capabilities

The quality of the photo and video of the main camera does not allow making claims to the Lenovo S850. Customer reviews confirm this fact. This is not surprising. After all, the camera is based on a sensitive element, based on a matrix of 13 Mp. Also in the device are implemented such software and hardware options as the system of autofocus, digital zoom and LED lighting. All this allows you to get high-quality photos in daylight. Although there is a LED backlight in this gadget, but in the dark it is quite difficult to achieve good image quality. The main camera can record video in FullHD format, that is, with a resolution of 1080x1920. In this case, the frequency of updating the image will be 30 frames per second. Good technical characteristics and a front camera at 5 megapixels. This is quite enough to get a high-quality photo in daylight, making video calls, IP-telephony and, of course, selfi.

Memory

The memory subsystem is one of the main advantages of Lenovo S850. The amount of RAM is 1 GB. This is quite enough for comfortable work on this device. About 600 MB is occupied by the operating system and the firm superstructure "Lenovo Laucher 5". The remaining 400 MB will be enough to run several quite demanding applications. The capacity of the built-in drive is 16 GB. Of these, about 4 GB is occupied by the pre-installed software: all with the same operating system and firm superstructure. The remaining 12 GB will be more than enough for installing all the necessary software applications and storing personal data. If, for some reason, free space on the built-in drive ends, then you can use free cloud services to store personal information. But to install an additional external storage device in this smartphone, as noted earlier, will not work: it does not have the additional slot required for this.

Gadget Autonomy

A non-removable battery with a capacity of 2150 mAh is integrated into the smartphone Lenovo S850. The reviews point to two significant drawbacks: low battery capacity and the inability to dismantle the battery on its own. The nominal capacity is too small for such a device. Still, the screen diagonal is a decent 5 inches, and the processor includes four compute modules, albeit energy efficient. As a result, with an average level of load on the gadget, one battery charge will last for 1-2 days of battery life. If desired, you can increase this value to 3 days. But at the same time it is necessary to save on everything. Another important nuance is a non-removable battery. If it breaks, you will have to contact the service center. On the other hand, the quality of the case of this smart phone does not cause any complaints. Apparently, Chinese engineers had to sacrifice the autonomy, weight and capacity of the battery for the sake of a quality enclosure.

Interface set

An impressive set of interfaces is implemented in Lenovo S850. It includes both wired and wireless ways of transferring information. The main ones are:

• The main method of data transmission is wireless wifi. The radius of its action is relatively small, but with its help you can download large files quickly enough. Also, this standard of information transfer allows you to view any Internet resources.
• The device is equipped with 2 SIM card slots. They can work in the networks of the 2nd (GSM) and 3rd (3G) generations. In the first case, the speed can theoretically reach 450 kbit / s. In reality, this value is much smaller and at best is 150 kbit / s. This is enough for social networks and unpretentious Internet sites.
• There are also Bluetooth in this gadget. It allows you to connect wireless headphones to your smartphone or exchange a small amount of information with a similar mobile device.
• The GPS sensor allows you to turn this smartphone into a full-fledged navigator.
• The microUSB wired port allows you to charge the battery and communicate with the PC.
• The audio port, which is displayed on the lower edge of the device, makes it possible to connect a wired external acoustics to the smartphone.

Software

Under the control of one of the most recent versions of "Android" with the serial number 4.4, the smartphone "Lenovo S850" functions. The reviews also highlight the availability of Lenovo Launcher 5-th version. The main feature of this software shell is that there is no additional menu, and the shortcuts of all installed programs are placed directly on the desktop (this nuance further integrates this smartphone with the iPhone 5S). If necessary, you can create a separate folder right there and group the similar software products in it. The rest of the software set is typical: clients of social networks, pre-installed system mini-programs and a set of services from Google.

Owners about smart phone

Very balanced turned out "Lenovo S850". Feedback is confirmed. Among the shortcomings can only be distinguished that the smartphone has a non-separable casing, a small capacity built-in battery and there is no slot for a microSD card. The first of these minuses is compensated by the faultless quality of the assembly of the device. Due to the second minus, developers have achieved that the gadget weighs 150 grams and is thin enough - only 8.2 mm. Well, in the latter case, the compensating factor is the fact that the device has 16 GB of internal memory, and this is quite enough for storing personal data, and for installing the necessary programs.

Price

The cost of 11 500 rubles at the moment is very modest for a gadget of the same class as the Lenovo S850. Reviews, price and technical parameters of this smart phone simply do not leave competitors no chance. Essentially, for this money you get a more modest version of the iPhone 5S, but the software stuffing of the gadget is based on the most popular software platform for mobile devices - "Android."

Summary

An excellent 5-inch smartphone with a good 4-core processor and a cost of 11 500 rubles is Lenovo S850. Reviews indicate that most buyers are not disappointed in their choice. At the same time, he has a lot in common (both in terms of design, and in terms of software) with the iPhone 5S. As a result, we have an excellent solution for those who need an inexpensive, but very high-quality smartphone.
