The P series is a powerful device that can work for a long time. It was with these qualities that the Lenovo company supplied its offspring P70. What is this company representative hiding in himself?
Design
The manufacturer did his best, and the phone "Lenovo P70" got a very elegant appearance. Straight lines in the device are diluted with pleasant roundness. The design turned out not only solid, but also stylish at the same time.
The body of the gadget is made of good quality plastic. The back cover turned out to be quite thin and, accordingly, fragile. Installing the panel into the grooves will be an unpleasant experience, incredible care will be required here. The small thickness made the cover not only fragile, but also highly prone to scratches.
Although the predecessors of "Lenovo P70" were quite overall, the thickness of the body of the device is only 8.9 mm. The use of plastic has reduced the weight, but the device is still heavy - as much as 149 grams.
The company equipped the phone with a high-capacity battery. However, a strange feature was that the battery is non-removable. UndoubtedlyThe battery does not need to be replaced, but sometimes it is necessary to remove it. It is not clear what to do if the device freezes completely.
Almost all external parts are in place. So, the front part sheltered the display, front camera, speaker, company logo, touch controls and sensors. On the right side there is a volume control along with a power button. The top end has a headset jack, and the bottom one has speakers, a microphone, and a USB input. The back is also fairly familiar and only houses the logo, flash, and camera.
The attractive appearance of the smartphone was slightly spoiled by the colors. The device is available exclusively in dark blue. Released only for the Chinese market, devices also have brown and white colors.
Display
The installed screen is not the best for "Lenovo P70". The diagonal characteristics are 5 inches, but the resolution failed - only 1280 by 720 pixels, which is the minimum for this size. The screen also has an IPS-matrix.
Impression improves display contrast and saturation. However, there is a miscalculation here, namely, a problem in the operation of the auto-brightness control. The owner will be forced to disable this feature and configure the machine themselves.
Protruding pixels do not particularly affect the work with "Lenovo P70". Although the resolution fails, the rest of the characteristics are up to par. In addition, the phone has acquired a protective glass Gorilla Glass 3. In general, the screen is enough for all needs.
Hardware
But the "stuffing" is fully consistent with the class in which the smartphone is located. Lenovo P70 boasts a 64-bit platform with eight cores. The device is controlled by the MTK processor familiar to the Chinese. Naturally, a more advanced SnapDragon would look much better, but this is enough. Each core of the device runs at 1.7 GHz. For the graphics of the device, a Mali-T760 chip was installed. And the overall picture is complemented by a two gigabyte RAM.
Actually, there should be no complaints about the power of "Lenovo R70". Tests show that the performance of the device is slightly above average, but the smartphone will cope with almost any task. Some problems appear in 3D games, but this is not critical. The processor has a funny feature: when the device heats up, the "stuffing" reduces performance on its own.
The gadget has 16 GB of native memory. A small part is occupied by the system, and the owner will get about 12 GB of available space. The user can expand the memory with a USB flash drive up to 32 GB. With high volume, there will most likely be some stalling.
Camera
They provided "Lenovo P70" with a good 13 megapixel camera. The camera allows you to shoot in quality a little above average. The photos are quite acceptable, but they do not cause delight.
It is worth paying attention to the front of the device. The installed five megapixels allow the owner not only to make video calls, but also to makehigh quality self-portraits. It's disappointing that there is no flash on the front camera, but using the settings and filters, you can achieve acceptable photos.
Communication
The smartphone supports 2G and 3G networks. In addition, the device also has LTE. 4G is not a special innovation for advanced phones, but the manufacturer quite often saves on such functions. The device also has wifi and bluetooth.
The presence of two SIM cards reinforces the success. Actually, the P series is designed to help you work, and it would be strange not to see the necessary functions in the device.
Autonomy
The gadget is supported by a battery with a capacity of 4000 maH for a long time. There are no complaints about the battery, because the smartphone will live for two days in standby mode. Moderate work will reduce the time to about 12 hours. Most of all consume the battery of the game and watching videos. When using these features, the phone will operate for approximately 6-7 hours.
Prolong the battery life of your smartphone by turning off useless processes, lowering the screen brightness and using a power-saving mode.
The only embarrassing thing is that the battery is non-removable. In case of serious problems, sometimes occurring in Android, the owner will not be able to restart the system by removing the battery.
Package
Supplied with "Lenovo P70" manual, headset, adapter, USB cable and warranty card. Although the plastic is solid, it would be desirable for the user to secure the device with a case. Given the thickness of the back panel,it will be very helpful.
System
The device comes with a somewhat outdated "Android" version 4.4. The Vibe UI interface, already familiar to Lenovo users, is installed on top of the system. Many applications are installed with the shell by the manufacturer. Some programs will be useful, but most will just waste memory.
The system works quite stably. "Android" is perfectly adapted to the P70 and does not cause any complaints. The only thing that is a little annoying is the placement of programs on the desktop.
An update to the fifth version of "Android" is also expected. But for now, the user will be forced to use the outdated system.
Positive Feedback
Detailed design uniquely distinguishes among the mass of devices "Lenovo P70". Reviews express dissatisfaction with the lack of metal elements, but this is a minor minus.
The strength of the gadget is its "stuffing". Performance is enough for a lot of tasks, you should not expect anything less from this class.
Both smartphone cameras will be a nice bonus. High resolution and 13 MP are great for everyday needs. The front camera will also please with its quality.
A capacitive battery is also a significant plus for the device. The battery is able to provide the phone with long-term operation, and the user - independence from the outlet.
Negative reviews
Appearance, or rather backcover - a very unpleasant miscalculation for the "Lenovo R70". Owner reviews report frequent damage and many scratches to this design element.
The low resolution of the device immediately catches the eye. The number of pixels balances on the verge of what is acceptable for such a diagonal. The company supplied many of its state employees with similar screens.
Android version will not cause positive emotions either. Naturally, the system is quite normal, but fresh applications are not available for it.
Result
Except for a few issues, the P70 was a success. All characteristics are in perfect balance and this makes the device attractive. The phone will perform all tasks set by the user.
