It's hard to say what class of devices the Lenovo S930 belongs to. On the one hand, this is a smartphone with active support for two SIM cards, and on the other hand, a tablet with a decent 6-inch display diagonal. It is its characteristics that will be discussed in this short article.
Packaging, design and ergonomics
Although the dimensions of this smartphone are quite impressive, but the manufacturer himself classifies it as a medium-sized device. Hence it turns out that it is not necessary to expect something unusual in the configuration. Everything in this case is rather formulaic:
- Smartphone with overall dimensions of 170 x 86.5 mm. At the same time, its thickness is 8.7 mm and the weight is only 170 grams, which is very little for a phablet with such dimensions.
- A battery with a capacity of 3000 milliamps/hours.
- Regular stereo headset. The sound quality in it is very mediocre, but this will be enough for the average music lover. But music lovers should immediately think about buying another, better acousticsystem.
- Cord and adapter in one person - "MicroUSB" - "USB". It charges the battery and allows you to connect to a PC.
- Charger with USB output.
Also, without fail, there is a user manual and, of course, a warranty card. Screen protector and case are not included with Lenovo S930. The front panel of the gadget is made of ordinary glossy plastic. So you can't do without a special protective film. The side ribs are made of nickel-plated iron, while the back cover is made of polycarbonate. The volume and power buttons are grouped on the right edge of the device, and the touch buttons are located under the display. All this allows, if necessary, to control the smartphone only with the fingers of one hand.
But still, 6 inches leave their "imprint" on the ease of control, with such dimensions it is still better to do it with both hands at once.
Smartphone hardware resources, cameras and screen
The link between the processor and the graphics adapter is the weakest link in this phablet. Still, MT6582 with 4 cores of revision "A7" and a peak frequency of 1300 MHz is not enough today. But still, most problems can be solved with the help of its computational capabilities. This includes watching movies, playing music, reading books, and surfing the World Wide Web. Also, Lenovo S930 can handle most games without any problems. The only exceptions in this regard are the most demanding toys of the latest generation,which require large CPU resources. The situation is similar with the Mali-400MP2 graphics card. As noted earlier, the display diagonal of this smartphone is an impressive 6 inches. It handles up to 5 touches at the same time. Its resolution is 1280 x 720 and it displays over 16 million colors. It is also based on a high-quality IPS matrix, which makes viewing angles close to 180 degrees. The main camera of the S930 is based on a fairly modest 8 megapixel matrix. Its capabilities are complemented by an autofocus system, LED flash and digital zoom. As a result, the quality of photos is at an acceptable level, as for the average price range. The second camera on the front is based on a 1.6MP sensor and is great for making video calls.
What about memory
The amount of memory installed in the Lenovo S930 mobile phone does not cause any complaints. It has 1 GB of RAM. And the built-in storage has a size of 8 GB. If desired, this value can be increased by 32 GB by inserting an external microSD flash card. All this in total ensures smooth and comfortable work on this device.
Autonomy and battery
Not very resistant, as for such a large device, the battery is installed in the Lenovo S930 phone. Reviews of the owners of the gadget indicate that one charge in most cases is enough for 12 hours of battery life. That is, this smartphone must be put on charge every evening. Although the capacityThe battery is an impressive 3000 milliamp / hours, but it also has a 6-inch display diagonal. Do not forget also about the processor, which consists of 4 cores. In general, it is difficult to say how long the battery can last in such an intensive mode. But you can immediately purchase an external battery with a MicroUSB connection interface and somehow solve the problem with autonomy. Of course, this will spoil the appearance of the smartphone, but at the right time it will not let you down.
software
Works under the control of an outdated, but at the same time the most popular version of the mobile OS "Android" with number 4.2 smartphone Lenovo S930 SILVER. An overview of the installed settings indicates the presence of a Lenovo Laucher. Its main task is the ability to customize the interface to the needs of the user, and he does an excellent job with this. A standard set of utilities is also installed: calculator, calendar and browser. In addition, a set of programs from Google is installed. Chinese programmers have not forgotten about social networks either. In this case, we are talking about Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The rest of the software the owner will have to download and install from the "Android" market.
Data sharing
Lenovo mobile phones are always equipped with a rich set of communication options. The S930 is no exception in this regard. First of all, it is worth highlighting the support of the ZhSM and 3Zh networks. Moreover, they fully and simultaneously work. That is, both SIM cards are constantly in active mode. ZhSM networks allowtransmit information at speeds up to 500 kbps, and "3G" - up to 15 Mbps. In the first case, you can communicate on social networks or download simple sites. But "3Zh" allows you to fully work with any amount of data, and even make video calls. There is also Wi-Fi, the capabilities of which are similar to 3rd generation networks. True, the speed in this case is much higher - 150 Mbps, but the range is reduced to 10, maximum 15 meters. Another important wireless interface is Bluetooth. It has a low speed and a small range (similar to Wi-Fi). But in the case when you need to transfer a small amount of information from one tablet or smartphone to another, it will be very difficult to do without it. The set of wired interfaces in this smartphone will be more modest. There is only "MicroUSB" and 3.5 mm for connecting external speakers.
Reviews
This phone has been selling for a long time and is very successful. Therefore, you can already find a lot of reviews about it. Most of them talk about the following benefits:
- Large display diagonal, which in this case is a fantastic 6 inches with good resolution (1280 x 720).
- Well-honed hardware. The interaction of RAM, graphics adapter and central processor does not cause any complaints.
- Optimized power consumption. The battery lasts for 7 hours of video playback in very high quality.
- The sound is perfect. Both low and high frequencies are felt.
Herehe has one drawback - the unstable operation of the firmware. But if desired, this minus can be eliminated by reinstalling the software. Moreover, the price for it is only 190 dollars. Which is quite a bit for a device of this class and with such parameters.
Conclusion
Great combination of excellent performance and low cost - this is Lenovo S930. One significant drawback of this smartphone is the low battery capacity. But it is impossible to put a battery with a larger capacity in such a thin case. Otherwise, this is a great mid-range smartphone with a very large screen size, which in this case is a fantastic 6 inches.
