Chinese manufacturers never cease to please their fans with novelties on the mobile device market. True, instead of another smartphone created using new technologies, the budget segment was replenished with a cheap Lenovo A606 phone. Reviews of the owners in the media assure others that in the price range up to 5000 rubles, the novelty simply has no competitors. It remains only to get acquainted with the characteristics of a mobile phone and find out what makes a Chinese smartphone so good.
First meeting
The Chinese have never pleased buyers with a rich bundle. An ordinary white box with a picture of a phone on it has a miniature size. Inside it, the user will find: a charger, headphones, a battery, instructions and a gadget "Lenovo A606". Customer reviews claim that the included stereo headset is a miracle, because most manufacturers have long ceased to supply smartphones with them.
Will delight future owners and appearance with build quality. Nice to feel in your handsa massive phone, not a piece of lightweight plastic. The build quality cannot be faulted - not a single flaw. All joints are smooth, there are no bevels, and even the battery cover does not creak. By the way, the back cover has a rubber coating. This affects the ease of use - the phone will not only not slip out of your hands, but also perfectly hold on any surface.
The most important ingredient
Although it is believed that performance and communications are important characteristics for the Lenovo A606 smartphone, user reviews assure the opposite. The quality of the liquid crystal display is a priority. Here the manufacturer behaved rather strangely. The matrix in the 5-inch phone is modern - IPS, but the screen resolution is only 854x480 pixels. This is a very low figure for a 21st century device.
As for the sensor, it's not all good with it, as the user would like. It recognizes no more than two touches, and in the process, ghostly clicks may occur. The device does not have a protective glass and easily collects dirt from the fingers, so the owner needs to keep their hands clean while using the smartphone. Alternatively, you can stick a protective film on the screen.
Real camera
Many users believe that the manufacturer acted unreasonably when they provided their product with a low-quality display and turned the Lenovo A606 smartphone into a digital camera. Reviews of the owners attributed the functionality of the phone's camera to the merits. The sensor is 8 megapixel. Andit is implemented at the hardware level (no software interpolations). Auto focus works perfectly, both in sunny weather and in poor lighting conditions. True, in the dark there are problems with exposure, the camera fails to choose the correct ISO. The secondary 2-megapixel device located above the display has the usual characteristics and does not attract users.
Future owners will also like the operation of the camcorder. After all, not every smartphone from the budget class is able to shoot in FullHD (1920x1080 dpi) at 15 frames per second. In the process of shooting video, tracking autofocus demonstrates perfect performance. By the way, the sound is recorded in stereo.
Platform performance
Phone "Lenovo A606", reviews about the speed of work are twofold. On the one hand, users note that 4 cores in the system, operating at a frequency of 1300 MHz, and 1 gigabyte of RAM do an excellent job with many resource-intensive programs. But lovers of dynamic toys assure others that this smartphone has no performance potential. After all, half of the RAM is taken over by the Android operating system services running in the background, and the Mediatek MT6582 processor is rather weak for games.
The integrated video adapter Mali-400MP2 also does not inspire confidence, however, in the AnTuTu testing program, the smartphone managed to score 17 thousand points, beating more expensive onescompetitors. As for non-volatile memory, its volume is 8 gigabytes. True, this figure exists only on paper. In fact, only 4.8 GB is available to the user, everything else is occupied by firmware and Android programs.
Strange multimedia work
Branded video player built into the phone "Lenovo A606", reviews are positive from all owners of devices from this manufacturer. The program supports all known formats (audio and video). In addition, support for FLAC, MPG, DivX, H.264 is implemented at the hardware level. That is, the device can easily play the MKV file in FullHD resolution. But the liquid crystal display of a smartphone will not be able to display the beauty of a high-quality picture.
Once again, Lenovo ignored the requests of fans and did not implement sub title support and the ability to change the audio track in its proprietary video player. The negative media coverage of this is understandable.
Work autonomy
The low platform performance and low screen resolution are compensated by the battery life of the Lenovo A606 smartphone. Owner reviews are quite predictable. A 2000 mAh rechargeable battery can last 8 calendar days on a single charge in standby mode. As for watching videos, it will be possible to discharge the battery in 6 hours of continuous viewing at maximum brightness. But withlistening to music in general, the situation is incomprehensible - with the display turned off, the battery worked for two and a half days.
Users may have problems charging their device. The fact is that the power supply is pulsed and supplies the smartphone with a large current. On the one hand, the battery charges quickly (up to two hours from scratch). On the other hand, the smartphone's power controller can fail, because our sockets are constantly jumping voltage.
Wireless technology
Yes, support for full-fledged 4G LTE is a nice bonus for all owners of the Lenovo A606 smartphone. Feedback from owners on working on the Internet is only positive. Also, users have no complaints about the operation of GSM and EDGE. Mobile networks work like clockwork. Only the presence of only one slot for installing a SIM card is embarrassing, because all well-known manufacturers have been producing devices designed for installing two cards of mobile operators for a long time.
The owners have no questions about the operation of the wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules, as well as the GPS module, which perfectly copes with its task of global positioning. Pleasant to many users and additional functionality implemented in the device: accelerometer, proximity and light sensor. Let it be a trifle, but still nice.
In conclusion
It is clear that the potential buyer has a double opinion about the smartphone "Lenovo A606". Reviews, price and specifications in total all the samewill prevail when choosing a decent device in the budget class. But still, it is worth deciding on the functionality before buying, because a mobile phone is not able to please everyone at the same time. It is not designed to work with resource-intensive games, and it has obvious problems with a colorful picture on the screen. It will appeal more to undemanding buyers who are looking for an inexpensive smartphone with great functionality and the ability to work on the Internet.
