Review of smartphone "Lenovo R70": description, features and reviews

Series P are powerful devices that can work a long time. It is these qualities that Lenovo has provided its offspring P70. What does this representative of the company hide in himself?

Design

The manufacturer tried to glory, and the phone "Lenovo P70" acquired a very elegant appearance. Straight lines in the apparatus are diluted with pleasant roundness. The design was not only solid, but also stylish at the same time.

The body of the gadget is made of high-quality plastic. The back cover was rather thin and, accordingly, brittle. Unpleasant occupation will be the installation of the panel in the grooves, you will need incredible care. The small thickness made the lid not only fragile, but also highly prone to scratches.

Although the predecessors of the Lenovo P70 were quite large, the thickness of the device's body was only 8.9 mm. The use of plastic allowed to reduce the weight, but the device is still heavy - as much as 149 grams.

The company has equipped the phone with a high capacity battery. However, a strange feature was that the battery is immovable. Undoubtedly, the battery does not need to be replaced, but sometimes it is necessary to pull it out. It is unclear what to do if there is a complete hang-up of the device.

Almost all external parts are in their places. So, the front part sheltered the display, front-end, speaker, company logo, sensor controls and sensors. On the right side is a volume control along with the power button. The upper end got a socket headset, and the bottom - speakers, microphone, and USB-input. The rear part is also quite familiar and placed only a logo, flash and camera.

The attractive appearance of the smartphone spoiled the coloring a little. The device is available exclusively in a dark blue color. The devices released only for the Chinese market have a brown and white coloring.

Display

The installed screen is not the most successful for "Lenovo P70". The characteristics of the diagonal are 5 inches, but the resolution summed up - only 1280 by 720 pixels, which is the minimum for this size. IPS-matrix is also installed on the screen.

The impression improves the contrast and saturation of the display. However, there is also a miscalculation here, namely, the problem in the operation of the brightness auto-regulator. The owner will be forced to turn off this function and set up the device themselves.

Existing pixels do not particularly affect the work with "Lenovo P70". Although the resolution fails, the remaining characteristics are at a height. In addition, the phone got a protective glass Gorilla Glass 3. In general, the screen is enough for all needs.

Hardware

But the "filling" fully corresponds to the class in which the smartphone is located. "Lenovo P70" boasts a 64-bit platform with eight cores. The device is managed by the usual MTK processor for the Chinese. Naturally, the more advanced SnapDragon would look much better, but it's quite enough. Each core of the device operates at a frequency of 1.7 GHz. For the graphics of the device was installed a chip Mali-T760. And the overall picture is complemented by a two gigabyte RAM.

Actually, claims to the power "Lenovo R70" should not arise. Tests show that the performance of the device is slightly above average, but the smartphone will cope with almost any task. Some problems appear in 3D games, but this is not critical. The processor has a funny feature: when the device heats up, the "stuffing" reduces productivity on its own.

The gadget has 16 GB of native memory. A small part is occupied by the system, and the owner will get about 12 GB of available space. User can expand the memory of the flash drive up to 32 GB. With a large volume, most likely, there will be some braking.

Camera

Equipped "Lenovo P70" a good camera at 13 megapixel. The camera allows you to shoot as a bit above average. Photos are acceptable, but do not cause delight.

It is worth paying attention to the front of the device. The installed five megapixels allow the owner not only to make video calls, but also to make high-quality self-portraits. Afflicts the lack of flash on the front camera, but using settings and filters, you can achieve acceptable photos.

Connectivity

The smartphone supports 2G and 3G networks. In addition, there is LTE in the device. A special innovation of 4G for advanced phones is not, but the manufacturer quite often saves on such functions. The device also has WiFi and bluetooth.

Secures the success of having two SIM cards. Actually, the P series is designed to help in the work, and it would be strange not to see the necessary functions in the device.

Autonomy

Long life of the gadget is supported by a 4000 mAH battery. Claims to the battery does not arise, because in the standby mode, the smartphone will live two days. Moderate work will reduce the time to about 12 hours. Most of all consume game charge and watch video. When using these functions, the phone will work approximately 6-7 hours.

To extend the duration of the smartphone's charge, you can turn off useless processes, reduce the brightness of the screen and use the energy-saving mode.

Confuses only that the battery is immovable. In case of serious problems, sometimes arising in "Android", the owner will not be able to restart the system by removing the battery.

Equipment

Supplied with the "Lenovo P70" instruction, headset, adapter, USB cable and warranty card. Although the plastic and sound, it is desirable for the user to secure the device with a cover. Given the thickness of the rear panel, this will be very handy.

System

The device comes with a somewhat obsolete "Android" version 4.4. The interface of Vibe UI, already familiar to Lenovo users, is installed on top of the system. Together with the manufacturer's shell, many applications are installed. Some programs will be useful, but most simply take away memory.

The system works quite steadily. "Android" is perfectly adapted for P70 and does not cause any complaints. The only thing that is a bit annoying is the placement of programs on the desktop.

It is also expected to upgrade to the fifth version of "Android." But while the user will be forced to use the outdated system.

Positive reviews

The well-designed design clearly distinguishes among the mass of devices "Lenovo P70". The reviews are dissatisfied with the lack of metal elements, but this is a minor disadvantage.

The strongest side of the gadget is its "stuffing". Performance is enough for a lot of tasks, less than this class to wait and not worth it.

A nice bonus will be both cameras smartphone. High resolution and 13 Mp are excellent for everyday needs. Frontalka will also please with its quality.

Capacitive battery - also a significant plus for the device. The battery is able to provide the phone with a long work, and the user - independence from the outlet.

Negative feedback

Appearance, or rather, the back cover - a very unpleasant miscalculation for "Lenovo P70". Reviews of owners report frequent damage and many scratches of this design element.

Immediately strikes a low resolution device. The number of pixels is balanced to the point of tolerance for such a diagonal. Similar screens the company provided many of its employees.

The version of "Android" also does not cause positive emotions. Naturally, the system is quite normal, but fresh applications for it are not available.

The result

Except for some problems, the P70 smartphone was quite successful. All characteristics are in perfect balance, and this makes the device attractive. The phone will perform all tasks set by the user.
