Stylish case combined with reliable filling - this is Lenovo S90. Feedback on its capabilities, hardware and software will be given as part of this short but detailed review.
Who is it for?
Stylish and affordable entry-level smartphone - that's all about the Lenovo S90. The review of any of its owners indicates a bright and unusual style of a smart phone model. Of course, many aspects in its appearance copy the latest generation of iPhone, but there are significant differences. In any case, Lenovo, in contrast to Apple, made a similar device with more modest parameters (taking into account the Android OS), but at the same time its price is much lower. Well, if the quality is inferior to the "apple" flagship, then not so much. Therefore, this gadget is of the greatest interest to those who need a stylish, inexpensive and reliable device.
Design
It is the design that is the key feature of the Lenovo S90. The review of any specialist in this regard indicates a greater degree of similarity with the iPhone6. A 5-inch Super Amoled display is displayed on the front panel. Its resolution is 1280x720. At the bottom is a typical Android control panel, consisting of 3 non-illuminated buttons. Above is the speaker, which on the one hand is limited by the front camera, on the other - its backlight. The sensors are also located here. The mechanical buttons for adjusting the volume of the smartphone and its lock are placed on the right edge. On the opposite side is a slot for SIM-cards. At the bottom are grouped a speaking microphone, a loud speaker (its mesh is very similar to the one used in the iPhone 6) and a microUSB port. On top, there is an audio port and a microphone to suppress external noise. On the back of the device is the main camera and its single backlight. There is also a logo of the manufacturing company.
Device hardware parameters
Snapdragon 410 acts as a processor solution in Lenovo S90. It includes 4 cores with a maximum frequency of 1.2 GHz. It certainly cannot stand out from its competitors with a high level of performance, but its reliability and energy efficiency are at a decent level. To process graphical information, the phone is equipped with an Adreno 306 graphics accelerator. As a CPU, it perfectly combines economy and reliability. But the level of performance is quite modest. The RAM in this device can be 1 or 2 GB, depending on the modification. The basic version of the device has 16 GB of built-in storage. But the advanced version is completedincreased volume of integrated storage in Lenovo Sisley S90 - 32Gb. Reviews also indicate that in any case, this device does not have problems with free space on the built-in drive. As a result, it does not have a slot for installing an external drive. Another plus is the presence of two slots for SIM-cards at once. Moreover, it supports all existing mobile communication standards Lenovo Sisley S90 LTE 32Gb. Reviews only indicate that the first slot is better to use for data transfer, and the second - for making calls. The same is true for the 16 GB version of the device. The main camera is 13, and the front one is 8 megapixels. Among other features, one can single out the presence of a backlight for the front camera. The battery in this device is non-removable, the capacity is 2300 mAh. This capacity, according to the manufacturer, should be enough for 2-3 days of use at an average load level.
Gadget software
"Android" is the system software of the Lenovo S90. Owner reviews highlight its not quite fresh version - 4.4. A "Vibe UA" shell is installed on top of it. It greatly changes the interface of the operating system and makes it very similar to iOS (another common feature with Apple products). Otherwise, the software set is standard: social services, built-in OS mini-programs and a set of software from Google.
Reviews, pros, cons and price of the device
There are, of course, certain flaws in the Lenovo S90. Owner reviews indicate these:
-
Lack of backlighting of the touch keys. First time atthe newly minted owner of the device may have problems while working with a lack of lighting. But a month later, you can get used to it, and there will definitely not be any problems in the process of work.
- Low battery capacity. This problem can only be solved with an external battery. Alas, it is not included in the original package, and it will have to be purchased separately.
- Outdated version of the operating system. The manufacturer plans to upgrade to Android with a more recent version - 5.0. But when it will be released is a big question.

- Stylish design and a variety of body color options make it easy to choose the most suitable option.
- Reliable and energy efficient hardware.
- Quality display, great cameras.
- Supports all existing mobile networks.
Price for the basic version of this device is about 12 thousand rubles. Its more advanced modification is estimated at 14 thousand.
