A stylish case in combination with a reliable filling is the Lenovo S90. Reviews of its capabilities, hardware and software will be provided as part of this small but detailed review.
Who is it for?
A stylish and affordable entry-level smartphone is all about the Lenovo S90. The recall of any of its owners indicates a bright and unusual style of the smart phone model. Of course, many aspects in its appearance copy the latest generation of the iPhone, but there are significant differences. In any case, the Lenovo company, 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, it is not so much. Therefore, this gadget is of most interest to those who need a stylish, inexpensive and reliable device.
Design
That design is a key feature of the Lenovo S90. The feedback of any specialist on this issue indicates a greater degree of similarity with the iPhone 6. Super Amoled 5-inch display is displayed on the front panel. Its resolution is 1280x720. Below is a typical “Android” control panel, consisting of 3 buttons without backlight. Above is the earpiece, which is limited by the front camera on the one hand and its backlight on the other. Sensors are also brought here. The mechanical buttons for adjusting the volume of the smartphone and its lock are displayed on the right edge. On the opposite side is a slot for SIM-cards. At the bottom are a conversation microphone, a loud speaker (its mesh is very similar to that used in the iPhone 6) and a microUSB port. On top of it 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 manufacturer.
Hardware parameters of the device
As a processor solution in "Lenovo S90" stands "Snapdragon 410". It includes 4 cores with a maximum frequency of 1.2 GHz. It certainly cannot stand out from the competition with a high level of productivity, but its reliability and energy efficiency are at a decent level. To process graphic information, the phone is equipped with a graphics accelerator "Adreno 306". As a CPU, it perfectly combines cost-effectiveness and reliability. But the level of performance is quite modest. The RAM in this device may be 1 or 2 GB, depending on version. The basic version of the device has 16 GB of internal storage. But the advanced version is equipped with an increased amount of integrated drive in the Lenovo Sisley S90 - 32Gb. The reviews indicate that in any case, this device does not have problems with free space on the built-in drive. As a result, he 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 standards of mobile communication Lenovo Sisley S90 LTE 32Gb. The 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 - at 13, and the front - at 8 megapixels. Among other features, one can highlight the presence of the front camera backlight. 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 Lenovo S90 system software . Responses of owners distinguish its not quite fresh version - 4.4. On top of it is a Vaib YuA shell. It greatly changes the interface of the operating system and makes it very similar to iOS (another common feature with Apple products). The rest of the software is standard: social services, built-in mini-programs of the OS 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 such:
The lack of backlight touch keys. At first, the newly minted owner of the device may have problems during operation 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 comes out is a big question.
But the advantages of this smartphone are:
Stylish design and many color options of the case will allow you to easily choose the most suitable option.
Reliable and energy efficient hardware.
High-quality display, excellent cameras.
Support for all existing mobile networks.
The price for the basic version of this device is about 12 thousand rubles. Its more advanced modification is estimated at 14 thousand.
Summary
Perhaps the price is a bit overpriced on the Lenovo S90. The recall of each owner confirms this. But do not forget that this is an image-making solution in the segment of entry-level smart phones, which stands out from its analogues in its unusual design. It is for this highlight that you have to overpay. The rest is a great gadget in its segment.
