A productive and stylish budget-level gadget is Lenovo A 6010. Owner reviews about it, its capabilities and specifications will be further examined in detail.
Smartphone niche
This gadget applies to entry-level solutions. More precisely, all devices of the “A” line of this leading Chinese manufacturer belong to the budget segment. There is no reason to expect phenomenal agility when solving resource-intensive tasks from these devices. But nevertheless, these smartphones have the necessary functionality, and they will cope with most everyday tasks without problems.
It should also be noted that two models of smartphones belong to this line of devices at once. One of them is designated "Lenovo A 6010 Music". Her technical specifications are more modest, but at the same time the price is much lower. The second representative of this line of devices is Lenovo A 6010 Pro. The same model is sometimes also called “Plus”. In this case, the parameters are much better. But the cost of such a device will be higher. It is each of these models that will be examined in detail in this article.
Equipment
The equipment for all devices of this line is identical and it includes the following:
- Smart cell phone with removable battery installed.
- Charging adapter.
- Interface cord.
- User manual, which also includes a warranty card.
Belonging to the budget class of gadgets has led to the fact that the equipment in this case is really modest. The newly made owner of such a device will have to immediately immediately additionally buy a number of accessories, which includes a protective film, a case, an external flash card and a stereo headset. The first two accessories will allow you to keep the initial state of the smartphone as long as possible. The third will provide an opportunity to significantly increase the disk subsystem. Well, without the latter, it is difficult to imagine the active use of this class of devices: radio, music, video - all this in most cases requires an external speaker system.
Design solutions and usability
A monoblock with a 5-inch touch screen is all "Lenovo A 6010". Reviews highlight the excellent quality of its assembly and the competent arrangement of controls. The gadget's lock button and volume controls are displayed on the right edge of the smartphone. Under the display is a familiar control panel of 3 buttons. As a result, one-handed control of this “smart” phone is quite convenient, although its dimensions are not so small. A front camera and a speaker are displayed above the display. Only a conversational microphone is located below, and micro-USB and an audio port are grouped on the upper edge. The main camera, its backlight and 2 loud speakers, which provide excellent sound quality of the device, are displayed on the back cover.
Gadget central processor
One of the best entry-level processor solutions is equipped with the Lenovo A 6010 smartphone. Reviews indicate an excellent combination of its level of performance and energy efficiency. “Snapdragon 410” (namely, this chip from “Kualkom” is used in this line of devices) boasts support for 64-bit computing. It consists of 4 computing units based on the very progressive architecture of the current "A53". The clock frequency of each of them can, if necessary, increase to 1.2 GHz. To solve most problems this is enough.
Even the average toys in terms of hardware resources of the gadget in this case will work fine (albeit not at maximum settings). The only thing this device may have problems with is the most demanding three-dimensional toys of the latest generation. They are focused on medium and flagship devices and in this case will not simply start.
Graphics Accelerator
A good video accelerator “Adreno 306” is installed in “Lenovo 6010”. Customer reviews point to its excellent level of performance for a budget smartphone. This graphics accelerator, like the central processor, was developed by Kualkom. It consists of 6 modules and can dynamically increase its frequency to 450 MHz. This allows in most cases to smoothly and efficiently display the image on the display of the mobile gadget in HD quality. This is the default resolution set in this device.
Screen
A high-quality display with HD-resolution is equipped with the Lenovo A 6010 telephone. Reviews highlight its excellent color rendition and viewing angles. In addition to this, it should be noted that the display is based on the IPS matrix. As a result, the displayed image is really pleasing to the eye, and a pixel density of 294 ppi leaves no chance that a single point on the surface of the touch screen can be distinguished without the use of special tools.
Memory
In terms of organizing the memory subsystem, the two models of this line of smartphones have significant differences. More modest parameters in the model with the prefix Music. In this case, the amount of installed RAM is 1 GB. About 600-700 MB are initially occupied by system processes. The user as a result can count on 300-400 Mb. This will be enough for social networks, browsing, unpretentious toys and other undemanding tasks. The capacity of the system drive is 8 GB. At the same time, the user can use only about 3 GB of them to install their application software and store personal data.
The disk subsystem is much better organized in another device of this line, which has a “Pro” prefix. The amount of RAM is increased by 2 times and is already 2 GB. This ensures a great smooth operation of the interface, which the Lenovo A 6010 Pro smartphone boasts. Reviews highlight this nuance in the operation of this device. The capacity of the disk drive is also doubled and equal to 16 GB. At the same time, system software takes up only 4 GB, and the user can already count on 12 GB. Any gadget in this series has a slot for installing an external drive, the maximum capacity of which can be 32 GB.
Cameras
Another major difference between the two models of smartphones lies in the cameras. More modest sensors, as you might guess, are used in the "younger" gadget. The front camera sensor is based on a 2 megapixel sensor. In this case, one certainly does not have to expect a high-quality “selfie”. But this camera allows you to make relatively high-quality video calls, which the Lenovo A 6010 smartphone can certainly boast of. Reviews in this case, the main camera is isolated, in which the sensitive element has a dimension of 8 megapixels. This allows you to already receive high-quality photos and record video in Full HD format.
Even better is the situation with cameras with the Lenovo A 6010 Plus model. Reviews First of all, its main camera with a 13 megapixel sensor element is isolated. In this case, the quality of the photo and video is even better. The front camera is based on a 5 megapixel sensor, and this already allows you to count on an acceptable “selfie” quality. Well, video calls in this case will also be an order of magnitude better than the “younger” model.
Autonomy
The autonomy of the devices provides a removable battery with a capacity of 2300 mAh. With an average load level, this allows you to expect 2 days of work from one charge. You can increase this value by minimizing phone usage. In this case, it will be possible to stretch for 3 days. The same result can be obtained with the help of special optimization software on Lenovo 6010 Pro. Reviews in this case indicate an increased capacity of the built-in drive, which allows significantly more installation of additional application software. If you use these gadgets to the maximum, then one battery charge is enough for 12-14 hours of operation.
Software
One of the most recent versions of system software is installed in Lenovo 6010. Characteristics (reviews of the owners once again convince this) allow Android with serial number 5.1 to function without problems on any device in this series. Further updates, most likely to version 6.0 in this case, do not have to wait. Yes, and there isn’t much sense in this: all existing software on this OS starts without any problems.
User reviews
The devices of the Lenovo A 6010 series turned out to be very balanced. Reviews in most cases indicate a small amount of the memory subsystem and the modest parameters of the cameras in the "younger" representative of this line of gadgets. But all the flaws that are in this device have been successfully eliminated in a more advanced version of the phone. Therefore, when buying such a device, it is recommended to pay attention to the side of the improved modification of this gadget series, which is the Lenovo A 6010 Plus smartphone. Reviews highlight the balance of technical specifications and a fairly low cost.
Cost
At “7500 rubles”, the “junior” device of this line - “Lenovo A 6010” is currently being evaluated. Owner reviews, in turn, indicate the difference in price between this device and the more advanced model with the prefix "Pro". The latter is now estimated at 10,000 rubles. At the same time, it boasts a 2-fold improved memory subsystem. The same can be said about cameras that are equipped with higher-quality sensor elements. Therefore, it makes sense to pay an extra 2500 rubles and get an improved gadget.
Summary
An excellent smartphone of a budget class is the Lenovo A 6010. Reviews in turn, indicate that it is better to purchase immediately a more advanced modification of this phone: the price difference is not very noticeable, but the parameters of the gadget undergo significant improvements.
