In the segment of mobile devices, the Chinese manufacturer Lenovo occupies an ambiguous position. On the one hand, the products of this brand are associated with affordability and wide functionality, on the other hand, the company's model line is periodically expanded with powerful and high-quality devices. Of course, even the company's flagship devices do not yet reach the premium level, but this should not be ruled out in the future. Another confirmation of the manufacturer's serious intentions in moving towards the leaders of the smartphone class was the recent appearance of the Lenovo A2010 device. Features, reviews and positioning of the model equipped with a 64-bit processor and 4G technology are supported by an average price tag of 8 thousand rubles, which also increases the attractiveness of the phone in the eyes of the mass consumer.
General information about the model
The concept of the model involves a combination of high performance with a wide range of options and affordable cost. The device was developed in 2015, when an interesting trend emerged in the segment - equipping devices with Android 5.0. Not only premium models received a fresh OS, but in some casesand representatives of the budget class. This surprised the Lenovo A2010 phone, reviews of which note its responsiveness and speed. And this is understandable, since the smartphone received the platform version 5.1, which is quite surprising for an inexpensive model. However, the device is interesting not only for the operating system. It also has a lot of functionality and a good design, but otherwise it is on the level of a budget product.
Machine specifications
The release of a productive and functional device in the smartphone segment is a very common phenomenon. Such models can be found in the lines of many Chinese manufacturers. But not all companies manage to maintain a given level during operation. The Lenovo A2010 gadget, reviews of which emphasize the compliance of the declared parameters with real indicators, has a good chance of obtaining the status of one of the most functional devices from the initial price segment. So, for 8 thousand rubles. model user gets the following characteristics:

Screen reviews
Even by the standards of mid-sized smartphones, the screen is small. But to consider the model as productive and compact is also not worth it. Although the display looks decent for a budget solution, it is far from an IPS matrix. This is where all the shortcomings of the screen come from. In particular, reviews of the Lenovo A2010 smartphone note narrowed viewing angles, an unsatisfactory picture in the sun and general fading of the image. In terms of color reproduction, resolution and sharpness, the model also does not match the level of devices with a modern OS from Android.
But if we compare the model not with ultra-clear smartphones costing more than 15 thousand rubles, then everything falls into place. Obviously, the manufacturer compensated for the investment in performance by using a weak budget matrix for the Lenovo A2010. Reviews, however, note that in their class of models up to 10 thousand rubles. the screen performs its function with dignity.
Camera reviews
As for the cameras, a traditional scheme with a 5-megapixel main module and a 2-megapixel front sensor is implemented. True, even this configuration today already seems outdated against the background of models with 8 megapixels, among which there are also budget devices. About the work of the front camera "Lenovo A2010" reviews are generally restrained,albeit without much criticism. There are no obvious defects during shooting, which is very good for a secondary module. But the main camera disappointed many. It's not even a small number of pixels, but violations of the basic settings. For example, there is criticism of the automatic white balance setting - the pictures are not just warm, but with a touch of yellowness. The situation worsens in poor lighting conditions, when frames are blurry and details are not distinguishable at all.
Operating instructions
In terms of ergonomics and control, the situation is not so bad. Under the screen are the traditional controls, the central place among which is the menu. Phone settings are quite wide and cover the entire range of device options. Conveniently segmented sections allow you to quickly get to the desired item. A considerable part of the controls is placed on the case. The power button is located almost in the center of the side, and the volume adjuster is slightly higher. By the way, as noted by the reviews ("Lenovo A2010"), the speaker copes with its function very well, showing itself worthy both during the conversation and when using the music player. The manufacturer has long mastered the configuration with the removal of mechanical buttons on the end of the right side, so you can easily control all the main parameters and functions of the smartphone without invading the menu.
Conclusion
Model developers madea noticeable step towards increasing the performance of budget devices, but could not combine the new level of the operating system with other characteristics. As a result, a certain symbiosis of premium and affordable prices turned out, which makes the Lenovo A2010 phone unique. At the same time, reviews point out a lot of weak points of the smartphone, including poor shooting quality and a cheap screen matrix. But you can put up with them if you need a fast and productive device. However, this model is not suitable for enjoying the pictures taken when viewed through a large display. It should be considered as a practical and somewhat universal means of communication, but no more.
