Lenovo K900 32GB - photos, prices and user reviews

Lenovo K900 32GB - the flagship smartphone, which has almost everything that can be in a modern device of premium-class. He debuted in 2013, but even now, a year later, his characteristics allow him to solve all problems without problems.

What goes in the kit?

Since Lenovo IDEAPHONE K900 32GB is one of the most productive solutions, it also has the corresponding bundle. The box version of the K900 includes:

• The smartphone itself.
• The battery capacity of 2500 milliamperes / hours.
• Charger.
• The cord is an adapter for the USS / MicroUSB.
• Protective film.
• Cover - bumper made of silicone.
• Manual.
• Warranty card.

The only thing that does not exist is an external flash drive. The problem is that the smartphone does not have a slot for its installation. So you have to be content with built-in memory. In extreme cases, you can install an external USB flash drive with the help of an ANZ-cord (it will also have to be purchased separately). Another issue that arises is the advisability of using a protective film and a bumper cover. The front panel of the device is made of protective glass, and the back cover is made of stainless steel. As in the first case, and in the second it will be difficult to damage the body of the gadget.

Appearance of the gadget and the convenience of working on it

In appearance, the Lenovo K900 32GB BLACK is a "shovel". The size of the smartphone is really impressive: 157mm at 78mm. At the same time its thickness and weight are respectively 6.9 mm and 162 grams. It is very difficult to control it with only one hand. Dimensions still make themselves felt. The front part, as was mentioned earlier, is made of the protective glass "Gorilla Eye" of the 2nd generation. The back cover is made of stainless steel. Only narrow stripes on top and bottom of plastic. Above the display there is a speaker and a camera for making video calls. Under the screen are the classic touch buttons: "Menu", "Home" and "Back". Not quite convenient are the usual control buttons. You can turn on the device on the one hand, and the volume swings are located on the opposite edge. But the connectors of the wired interfaces are located on the lower edge of the device. There is also a spoken microphone.

But what about the processor?

The strength of Lenovo K900 32GB is the CPU. In this case we are talking about the ATOM Z2580 from Intel. Physically, he has 2 computational cores, but due to the use of the proprietary technology "HyperTrading" the number of computational flows is increased by 2 times. Another chip of this CPU - its clock frequency is 2 GHz. Let's just say: not every decision for today can boast of such a characteristic. But not everything is as perfect as it seems at first glance. The architecture of the cores of this CPU is x86. But the majority of devices running "Android" functions on the solutions of "ARM". If you do not go into details, you can say that there may be problems with application software. But this is only a conditional observation, which in most cases does not manifest itself.

Graphic subsystem and display

The graphics adapter in the Lenovo K900 32GB is quite efficient. In this case we are talking about the PowerVR SGX544MP2. This is a productive solution that will easily cope with the task of any level of complexity, for example, the demanding toy "Asphalt 8" on this gadget goes without any problems. The ideal addition to this graphics adapter is a 5 and a half inch display with a resolution of "HD", that is, its resolution is 1920 at 1080. Another positive aspect is the IPS matrix at the heart of the screen. This ensures high image quality and viewing angles as close as possible to 180 degrees. As it should be for a device of this class, the display is capable of displaying more than 16 million colors and processing up to 5 touches to its surface. Also an undeniable advantage of this model is that the screen is protected by the glass of the "Gorilla Eye" of the 2nd generation.

Cameras and their capabilities

The situation is not exactly unique in this model, it is formed around the main camera. On the one hand, she has everything in order to get high-quality pictures and videos. This is a matrix of 13 megapixels, and autofocus, and LED lighting. But if the photos are of acceptable quality, then there are certain problems with the video. Most likely, they are related to the lack of an automatic image stabilization system. This leads to the fact that the frame in the video can turn out to be vague. Also there is a front camera. Its main task is to make video calls. She copes with this task without problems. Moreover, it is based on a 2 Mp matrix. This is quite enough for high-quality images during video conversations.

Memory subsystem

An interesting situation in this model is the memory subsystem. If with RAM everything is clear and unambiguous - 2 GB, then here with the built-in drive options are possible. Initially, this model was integrated 16 GB. But a little later there was a more advanced version - Lenovo K900 32GB. The review of its technical characteristics indicates that the difference between them consists only in the volume of the flash drive. And very significant - in 2 times. Accordingly, and the cost of the latter is much higher. Therefore, do not forget to clarify the seller the amount of installed memory. The situation with memory cards is much worse. To install them in this smartphone there is no slot. If you for some reason is not enough 16 GB or 32 GB of internal memory, then you can increase its volume only with the help of "ANZ" -cable and standard USB flash drive standard YUSB.

Autonomy

The weak link in this premium smartphone is the battery. Its capacity is "only" 2500 milliamps / hour and this value is most likely due to the thickness of the body of 6.9 mm. Chinese engineers had to choose between the thickness of the smartphone and its autonomy. As a result, the choice was made in favor of the first, and the second parameter went into the background. Given the screen diagonal of 5.5 inches and a productive processor, 2500 milliamps / hour is clearly not enough. In the best case, one of its charging is enough for a day of intense workload. If you use the mode of minimum power consumption, then you can increase this figure to 2 days, which is also not so much. The only correct solution in this situation is to additionally purchase an external MicroUSB - a battery and with its help significantly increase the degree of autonomy of this device. Otherwise, he may fail you at the most inopportune moment.

System software

The Lenovo K900 32GB smartphone runs under the most popular operating system at the current moment - Android. Installed firmware with serial number "4.2". In fact, this version is a little outdated. But, all the same in the foreseeable future compatibility problems should not arise. Given that the smartphone debuted more than a year ago, it is no longer necessary to expect updates. So you have to be content with what is. The very same "Android" is not installed in the nude. As an add-on stands Lenovo Laucher, which allows you to optimize the smart smartphone interface for the user's needs without any problems.

Application software

Lenovo smartphones always come with a rich set of application software. "K900" in this regard is no exception. In addition to the previously mentioned "Lenovo Laucher" on this device is also installed a standard set of utilities from "Google". Here there is a mail client, a social service "Google +", and "Evernot" for instant messaging. Also there are international social services such as Instagram, Facebook and, of course, Tweeter.

Communications

A very extensive set of communications from the Lenovo K900 32GB. Overview of technical specifications indicates the availability of the following wired and wireless interfaces:

• One SIM card, which with the help of built-in transmitters can work in networks of the 2nd and 3rd generations. In the first case, the transmission speed of information will be 560 kb / s, and in the second - 7,2 Mbit / s.
• "Wai Fai", capable of operating at speeds up to 300 Mbit / s.
• "Blutuz" 2 nd generation.
• Built-in "ZHPS" - the transmitter allows this device to easily turn into a regular navigator. So with this smartphone it will be difficult to get lost on the ground.
• Universal USB 2.0 / MicroUSB performs 2 tasks at once. One of them is a connection to a PC to exchange information with it. The second is charging the battery.
• The last connector is a 3.5 mm jack for connecting an external speaker system.

Summary

The Lenovo K900 32GB is quite balanced. A powerful processor, a powerful graphics adapter, an impressive screen size with excellent resolution, enough memory. But still there are negative sides to this gadget. First of all, a small amount of battery for such a large and productive smartphone. As previously noted, this problem can be solved. It is enough only to purchase an external microSYB battery. In the second case, the situation is similar. An external memory card can not be installed in the "K900". There is no required slot. But with the help of "OJ" - a cable and a regular flash drive and this problem can be solved. In general, almost perfect was Lenovo K900 32GB. The price for it is 345 dollars, that for the device of this class is not so much.
