The novelty of the budget class is trying to repeat the failed attempt of the predecessor to cross the line of the middle category. Did the manufacturer manage to fix all the flaws? Only after learning all about the A7000, you can evaluate how successful the idea is.
Design
The changes only slightly affected the appearance of the Lenovo A7000. The company slightly redesigned the camera, and also changed the location of the main speaker. Otherwise, the look of the phone remained similar to the A6000.
Design just screams about budget. Confirmation of this is the use of plastic, and cheap. The appearance of the hull further worsens the impression. As in the predecessor, the olophobic coating of the body is absent. The owner will have to spend a lot of time cleaning the smartphone.
The lack of coverage affects the use of the device. The Lenovo A7000 smartphone strives to slip out of its hand. A little brightens up the flaws excellent build quality. No creaking will occur even if you squeeze the device.
Significantly improves the work with the device its low weight - only 140 grams. On the one hand, this is noticeably greater than in the A6000, and on the other, the dimensions of the A7000 are superior to a fellow.
Details on the case took their usual places. So, the front side has got a display, sensors, frontal, speaker, touch buttons and logo. By the way, it should be noted that the controls do not have a backlight. It will be difficult for the user to adapt to work with him in the dark.
The right side was allocated under the volume control, as well as the power button. The bottom end was taken under the USB connector, a microphone and a headset jack.
The back side sheltered the main camera, a flash, a sign of the company and a speaker.
Actually, changes occurred only in color variations. Now, in addition to the order of boring white and black, there is also a bright yellow model.
Screen
The enlargement of the Lenovo A7000 display causes a double feeling. On the one hand, the diagonal is as much as 5.5 inches, on the other - low resolution. The smartphone received 1280 x 720 pixels. Such parameters are enough for five inches, but the A7000 screen is larger.
The problem is not as critical as it might seem. Pixels are present, but noticeable only if you look closely. All problems fade while watching on the device quality HD.
Viewing angles in the device are increased due to the use of IPS-matrix. Although in the sun the smartphone does not show its best side. The phone lacks brightness, and with powerful lighting it is difficult to see something on the display. Surprisingly, the predecessor had no such problems.
The company equipped the screen with olophobic coating, but this does not save from fingerprints. Perhaps the quality of the technology or something else fails, but in the work it is very interfering.
Camera
“Lenovo A7000” will not be able to stand out with high-quality images. The company once again supplied its device with 8 megapixels that had taken root in state employees. The camera does not cause much discontent, because the quality is significantly higher than average. For everyday use, the characteristics are excellent, but more is not needed.
The camera resolution is 3264 x 2448, which is quite expected. Differences in the resolutions of cheap devices are minimal.
The front camera "Lenovo A7000" is surprising. Equipped the phone with five megapixels with a resolution of 2880 x 1728 pixels. The front camera turned out to be very successful not only for video communications, but also for self-portraits. There are slight noise in the pictures.
Hardware
Equipped the gadget with the already familiar MTK processor. Using this detail allows not only to give the smartphone high performance, but also significantly lower the price on the A7000.
The processor has 8 cores with a frequency of 1.5 GHz each. In addition, the device has a performance of 64 bits.
The most efficient use of the smartphone will help two gigabytes of RAM. Incredibly high performance for an inexpensive device. We can safely say that the A7000 is one of the most powerful state employees.
Native memory fades against the general background of the hardware. Only 8 GB, of which the user will be able to dispose of only 6 gigabytes. You can increase memory using a flash drive up to 64 GB.
System
Manages the powerful stuffing "Android" of the modern version 5.0. On top of the system, the company posted a proprietary interface. The user will encounter a shell similar to iOS. Installed applications do not have a separate folder and are placed directly on the desktop.
Along with the interface there are many applications. Unfortunately, the user will not be able to remove many programs due to the lack of Root rights.
Autonomy
Taking into account the problem of low capacity in cheap devices, the manufacturer equipped the smartphone with a 2900 mAh battery. A relatively good battery is able to support the phone offline for two days.
Active work with the device will reduce the time to 6 hours. This is a pretty good indicator for such a powerful device. In case of urgent need to replace the battery with a large capacity is not difficult.
Equipment
The set turned out to be almost standard: smartphone, manual, USB cable, adapter. Given the quality of the plastic, it will be useful to purchase a cover for the Lenovo A7000 phone. In addition, the user will be forced to buy a headset that is not included in the kit.
Price
Powerful filling significantly increases the cost of a Lenovo A7000 phone. The price reaches about 13 thousand rubles. Regarding budget smartphones, this is high, but for an average category device, which is the A7000, this is acceptable.
Positive reviews
Many praises were collected by the Lenovo A7000 phone . Reviews highlight the excellent filling among the mass of advantages. It was high performance that allowed the device to move into a more expensive category.
The new version of Android is also a very nice feature. Now the owners of the device will not need to pay attention to updating for a long time.
The huge display is also commendable. Although the resolution fails a bit, the overall screen is excellent.
Negative reviews
All the negative aspects of a smartphone are related to its evolution. For starters, changing the price category, the phone was left with a very unpresentable appearance. And the quality of the material generally leaves much to be desired.
Unpleasantly surprise fans of the A series and the cost of the device. Now the price is similar to many representatives of the S line.
Previously acceptable for a cheap gadget, the camera looks like an expensive black crow in the expensive A7000. Does not improve the overall impression and an excellent front-end. The camera looks unattractive, especially for the price.
Total
Nevertheless, the smartphone was able to breach between the categories, although the device still has a large number of shortcomings. Perhaps the followers of the A7000 will not have such problems, but the device turned out to be far from ideal.
