Smartphone "Lenovo A526": specifications, reviews

The company "Lenovo" joined the ranks of budget devices with the novelty A526. Unattractive, but quite functional smartphone, without a doubt, will find its fans. What is attractive about the device?

Appearance

Find features in the design of "Lenovo A526" simplyis impossible. The device is incredibly similar to its predecessors and absolutely does not have external zest. Not knowing the characteristics of the device, you can just pass by.

The front part of the standard acquired a display, a camera, touch buttons, sensors and, of course, the company logo.

Behind the speaker, a sign of the company, as well as the main camera.

The upper end became a shelter for the USB jack and headphone jack, and on the side are the volume and on / off buttons.

As you can see, the appearance of the device is not particularly attractive. And given that most users choose the device for design, most likely, "Lenovo A526" does not expect proper popularity.

Screen

The weak point of the device can be rightfully considereddisplay. Equipped "Lenovo A526" pretty good diagonal in as much as 4.5 inches. The size, of course, is not sufficient for advanced models, but it is not particularly small either.

Problems begin with the matrix being used, namely the outdated TFT. Naturally, there are successful screens with this technology, but the A526 is not the case.

Provided the device with a resolution of only 854 for480. For a screen having a size of 4.5 inches, this is an incredibly poor performance. Even if you do not look closely, the pixels on the display are noticeable. By the way, Ppi is only 218 units.

The screen of the device is incredibly bad, and low cost is not an excuse. The company "Lenovo" produced devices with a similar price and much better display.

Camera

Equally bad was the camera. "Lenovo A526" received only 5 megapixels, and without a flash and useful functions in the form of autofocus. Accordingly, the images are of terrible quality even for a budget device.

Only 0.3 Mp frontalki especially do not surprise after getting to know the main camera. Of course, it is quite enough for video communication.

Filling

A more pleasant detail will be the hardware part of "Lenovo A526". The technical characteristics are really powerful and look weird on the background of the other shortcomings.

Thus, the apparatus was equipped with a frequently usedprocessor MTK with the whole four cores. The frequency of each is 1.3 GHz. The performance of the phone "Lenovo A526" can be safely equated with the more expensive brethren.

Installed and gigabytes of RAM. Such a memory is quite enough for a device to perform most modern tasks. Of course, the quality of the display will not allow you to fully appreciate HD or enjoy advanced games.

The phone has only 4 GB of internal memory. Given the system, only 2-2.5 GB is available for use. Memory is really very small, and the owner will have to attend to increasing the capacity. To fix this problem will help USB flash drive, the device accepts cards up to 32 GB.

Most likely, such a one-sidedness arose because of the company's miscalculation. Otherwise, it is very difficult to justify the incredible preponderance of the filling over all other parameters.

System

Smartphone "Lenovo A526" operates on the base"Android 4.2". For a budget device this is the most suitable system. "Android 4.2" will help the device to show itself from the best side when working with applications.

The phone, like all Lenovo, got the company's branded shell. Notable shortcomings are absent, and this indicates that everything was perfectly worked out.

If necessary, there is always the possibility to update the system to a more modern analog.

Battery

The capacity of the native battery A526 is 2000 mAh. Budgetary, having a similar display, this will be enough in full.

Approximate working time with active use is 5 hours. Most of the charge is spent on stuffing the machine.

Naturally, changing the battery to a more powerful analog will be a good solution, but this is absolutely necessary. The battery is enough for the device.

Equipment

Along with the device, there is a USB cable, adapter, instruction, headphones.

Advantages

Unfortunately, there are not so many advantages for LenovoA526. "The technical characteristics of the filling at the height and worthy of attention.The excellent performance provided by the processor, will have very useful in work and entertainment.

There are also minor advantages in the form ofwork with two SIM cards and support the most necessary standards. Also an excellent version of "Android" allows you to realize the device's capabilities as well as possible.

The greatest advantage in the apparatus is its cost. Approximately 4 thousand rubles you can get quite a good phone.

disadvantages

Where more in the apparatus of minuses. The most notable of these is a bad display. The use of obsolete technologies for a device released in 2014 is simply a terrible mistake. In addition to the TFT matrix, the smartphone also received a low resolution, which is absolutely not suitable for 4.5 inches.

Leaving much to be desired and the camera smartphone. Acceptable for the devices of the past 5 Mp looks a little shaky on the device produced in 2014. Affects the lack of mass necessary for the camera functions. What to say, if there is not even a simple flash.

A painful point is the memory of the mobile phone. Only two gigabytes, available to the user, do not look very attractive. It seems that the company is deliberately pushing the owners to purchase flash drives. Even for a budget employee, the installed memory looks very modest.

Design is also worth attributing to the shortcomings. Of course, interesting looks from a cheap device is not expected, but I want highlights. At predecessors from a series And almost in each device there was something individual.

Reviews

Left on the "Lenovo A526" reviews tend to the fact that the device is good. Despite a lot of shortcomings, the device actually turned out sound.

Value for money and functionality alleviates all the disadvantages of the device. Find a desktop-capable device for the inherent A526 price will be impossible.

The result

Even in the budget category, the smartphone looks intriguing. It is hoped that the Chinese manufacturer will take into account all the shortcomings made in the A526, and will be able to come to a balance of all characteristics.
