Lenovo S60 A Description. Ideal for every day: Lenovo S60-A smartphone review

In recent years, the leading place in the market of mobile devices "Lenovo" does not cease to surprise with its novelties. One of the most interesting representatives of the company is the S60 device. What is this smartphone?

Appearance

The set display looks pretty decently both in games and when playing HD. For the average price category of devices, all parameters at a decent level.

Camera

Chinese smartphones have long been able to make high-quality pictures, no exception has not become with 60. The device has an integer camera of 13 megapixels with a stunning resolution of 4160 x 3120. Accordingly, the pictures are obtained by detailed and high-quality. Naturally, small disadvantages are also present in the form of unnecessary noise. The apparatus images are approximately 3-5 MB.

The camera is noticeably worse in poor lighting conditions. In such cases, too notable noise and even graininess appear.

The front camera will also please the owners in the presence of 5 megapixels. Good permission (2592 x 1944) allows you to take pictures of decent quality.

The device was a little modified camera interface, which made it possible to make it more comfortable. Easy control allows even intuitively adjust the quality of the pictures.

Video recording is similar to the photo flaws. With good lighting, the quality is good, but graininess and noises appear in the dusk. Of course, we should not expect a lot from the middle class camera. The price requested for "Lenovo with 60" quite smoothes flaws.

Filling

Chinese smartphones infrequently use the Snapdragon processor, but from 60 - exactly the case. Replacing the usual MTK more powerful analogue for the better affects performance.

Present four cores work on the 64th platform and have a capacity of 1.2 GHz each. A similar filling allows you to maximize the potential of the device.

I did not fail and the speed of 2 GB, installed in Lenovo C 60. The price of the device looks just ridiculous, given the hardware. In comparison with which has a similar value, the phone looks more attractive.

It is definitely weak on a general background that the ADRENO 306 video scorer looks. However, it copes with all the assigned functions.

The smartphone is released exclusively with 8 GB of internal memory. The part is spent on "android", and the user will remain about 6 GB. It is possible to extend the amount of memory to a flash capacity of up to 32 GB, although the present filling will completely cope with 64 GB.

The device shows itself excellent in working with all applications, as well as demanding games. Of course, there are also some exceptions in which the average graphics will have to use.

System

Written about "Lenovo with 60" reviews make it clear that the device comes with several versions of "Android". Sometimes comes across old version 4.4, and periodically the device comes with an installed system 5.0.2. From above "Android" is the branded envelope VIBE UI.

Applications do not have a separate menu and are placed on the desktop, as in the iPhone. Most immediately installed in the device required programs. The shell allows you to configure the appearance of a multitude of interface details. The system works stably and without braking.

In the case of supplying an outdated version, the owner will be able to flash the device for 5.0 without problems. You can conduct an update both through FOTA and using special programs.

Battery

The battery in the device is unknown, and considering the capacity of 2150 Mah, this is a tangible problem for Lenovo C 60. User feedback inform about the 3-hour duration of the device operation with active use. Smartphone in standby mode will stretch day.

There are modes for saving the charge. With careful battery consumption, there is enough hours at 7-9.

Undoubtedly, the battery in the device is not the most successful. Actively working with the device, the owner will be very dependent on additional charge.

Equipment

In addition to the phone, the set includes instructions, a USB cord, adapter, key for trays and headphones. In rare cases, there are still covers for Lenovo C 60. Screen protection can be supplemented with a film.

Price

The cost of the device is approximately 15 thousand rubles. The price is quite pleasant, given the filling and functionality of the device.

Most likely, they will have to immediately make in the total cost and replacement of the headset. Native headphones, apparent with the device, are not particularly high quality.

Positive reviews

Having considered the review "Lenovo with 60", I would like to note the excellent camera of the smartphone. Of course, there are disadvantages, but overall snapshots are excellent.

One more positive side The device is filling. For its money, Lenovo has equipped the phone with impressive characteristics. Powerful processor and a large number of RAM allow the smartphone to execute many tasks.

Design can also be considered as the advantage of the device. Simple and elegant appearance, without excesses, will definitely have to taste users. Although there is no metal in the apparatus, but the strength and quality of the assembly did not suffer because of this.

Mark a good display also follows. Large diagonal and quite acceptable quality make the screen with a pleasant eye. Although the series C and is a device for entertainment, not all phone numbers can boast of such a display.

Almost all owners are satisfied with the ratio of prices and characteristics of Lenovo C 60. Reviews for the most part positive, but there are minor miscalculations of the company. Although it is difficult to reproach the middle class smartphone in small disadvantages.

Negative reviews

There are much minuses, and for the most part they are not as noticeable. The most tangible disadvantage is a weak battery. Although the smartphone, it seems, consumes and slightly energy, but the duration of work is not capable of boasting.

Another unpleasant feature of the phone lies in a small amount of memory. Total 6 GBs available for use, do not satisfy all requests at all. The only way out will be an increase in volume by flash drive.

Having considered about "Lenovo with 60" reviews, it can be understood that not all users have to taste similar to Apple design. Of course, there are not so many discontent, but they are.

Outcome

Having a lot of positive qualities, the device is a rather attractive choice. And considering the low price of the device, it looks very profitable against the background of competitors. Firm "Lenovo" once again pleased his fans.

pros

• thin and stylish housing
• good screen
• lTE support

minuses

• weak battery

Lenovo C60 is a beautiful thin smartphone with good technical characteristics and affordable price. The device does not claim to be the title of the flagship, but is a good option for young people choosing comfortable and stylish devices. Due to its popularity, the apparatus has many accessories, which allows you to transform the gadget to your taste.

Similar smartphones:

The appearance of Lenovo S60-A is interesting because he is slightly reminded iPhone design 6 - similar angles radii, mutually rounded kant around the perimeter and holes under the dynamics in the end of the bottom of the housing, similar to the placement of the rear chamber.

Dark gray plastic looks stricter, the white case gives the feeling of lightness. Although the smartphone itself is not hard - Total 128. g, one can say - almost an intention, compared with modern giants with a screen more 5.5 inches.

By the way, the plastic of the glossy body, which certainly affects the appearance: when it is clean - it looks like an elegant and rugged, and when the fingerprints have selected - looks slightly. However, the manufacturer taking care of protection and staffed his brainchild transparent bumper-case From polycarbonate closing the entire case, except for the screen. And a protective film is attached to the latter, designed to protect it from random scratches.

But we liked the screen without it - the glass has a oleophobic coating and fingerprints on it remain to a lesser extent and easily erased by literally one passage of soft tissue.

Speaking about the appearance, we note that the designers are conveniently located the switching key - it turns out to be just under the middle finger, if you keep your smartphone with your left hand, and under great - if you keep it with your hand.

It causes alertness that the keys are the same glossy, rounded and made in the color of the case. No ribbed or protrusions made a manufacturer. Therefore, to fool them tactile pretty hard.

On the left side there are two slot slots, made flush with the case - one to place two SIM cards (micro and nano form factor) and one for a microSD memory card. When installing a SIM card, it should be borne in mind that, when using two cards, 4G data transmission technology will be available only on a slot 1 (nano form factor). With one SIM card 4G is available on a slot 2 (micro).

By the way, thanks to the support of two waiting modes both SIM cards work at the same timeAnd you can receive calls to any of them. During the use of one SIM card, the other is automatically translated into standby mode.

You can open slots only with the help of a key button (but you can also try with a clip). Holes are made in the trays themselves, so you need to be careful when you click, so that not cracked plastic tray.

Under the screen there are three functional sensory buttons that the manufacturer decided not to highlight. Icons on them are indicated dim, therefore, all hope for visual user memory.

Above the screen, in addition to the dynamics, front chamber and sensors of approximation and lighting, there is a status indicator hidden under the white paint - igniting during charging device. Upon graduation, he just goes out.

Rear camera and flash slightly recessed in the case, which means that their glass scratching about the table will not. But the minus of such a solution can be the accumulation of dirt at the edges of the chamber when it is wiping.

Screen and sound

The first turn on the Lenovo S60-A screen causes a storm of sensations. Bright, juicy colors of the wallpaper screen literally attack the visual nerve of the user, convincing him that there is no other colorful screen.

The screen is really bright, and the colors are saturated and natural. It is comfortable to work with the device on the street when the Sun is already on the brightness of a little more than half the scale of the settings. IPS matrix with HD resolution (1280x720) very economical, and with long-term use of the screen, the battery is not very much.

However, the reverse side of the economy is not very large viewing angles - with the rejection of the view from the perpendicular, in any direction the picture darkens, but not much. White color, compared to the screens of other smartphones, perhaps the most natural.

As for sound, he is worthy of praise. During the conversation, the voice of the interlocutor is clean, sonorous and clear. The call speaker does not scroll, moderately saturated with high and low frequencies.

Music playback test via built-in player showed a good study of the details of the sound composition and soft basami Even without using the equalizer. Melomanans Sound will probably have to taste.

The same applies to sound in video. The built-in player is able to reproduce with the sound with the sound most of the films in AVI, and some MKV. But you need to be ready that the downloaded film will be played without sound. Rectify the situation holiday player will helpFor example, MX Player with a loaded AC3-codec network.

Filling and productivity

Lenovo S60-A uses modern budget and pretty powerful at the same time. 64-bit 4-nuclear Processor Qualcomm MSM8916. Snapdragon 410 With clock frequency 1.2 GHz.

For graphics in games answers chip Adreno 306.. In a compartment with presence on board 2 GB of RAM It provides good performance In any applications and games. Compared to solutions on the old MTK processors, you will not experience discomfort in any interface, nor when scolding pages of sites with an abundance of graphics. In AnTutu, the test apparatus scored 23310 points.

For comparison, his elder brother Lenovo S90. with a metal case, but with the same stuffing, scored significantly less - 19 900 . Moreover, our tested slightly, but surpassed the speed of RAM and CPU - on the processing of integers flagship LG G3.

The smartphone will not be stumbled and when playing video in Full HD, including over the network. The only recorded roller's own chamber built-in player reproduces well the interface is slowing down, for example, put on a pause or flush it turns out from the first time.

In addition to web surfing and video, the smartphone copes excellently and demandless to the glare games. In particular, the manufacturer has already installed on the apparatus such games as Asphalt 8, Real Footbal 2015, Spiderman, etc.

Built-in memory of the device is only 8 GBHowever, using the integration of memory cards, this deficiency is easy to leve.

A little about the interface

Lenovo S60-A interface represents branded add-in VIBE UI 2.0. As OS "From the box" lies Android 4.4.4 Kitkat. But, in the process of testing, our device received an update by air to the version 5.02 .

On the appearance It almost did not affect. Users who are accustomed to the standard interface of Android devices, the VIBE UI interface can be introduced into some confusion, because In this shell there is no collection of applications, and the list of settings is completely recycled.

For those newcomers in the composition of the established software special application "Tutorial", where it is clearly shown how to use most of the functions of the smartphone.

In general, the interface is convenient, however the font of the menu seemed to us fine, and even the letters are too tight, which can cause discomfort in people with weakened eyesight. In the notification string, you can enable the display of the battery charge as a percentage, which is convenient. But the developers for some reason placed the numbers into the battery icon itself, making them small and difficult to read.

Of installed applications us really liked the anti-virus package securitywhich includes user data protection, protection against theft, cleaning from garbage files and backup.

But, unfortunately, after upgrading to OS version until 5.02, this is a wonderful application. disappeared without a trace from the composition of applications, like a number of other convenient programs, such as the calendar. We hope that the company will somehow return these wonderful applications to users of updated smartphones.

Positioning

In Lenovo, they specifically opened a ruler S to present inexpensive analogues of the iPhone 6. The word "analogue" is applicable here exclusively to the design of the devices, and not to their stuffing, perception or something else. In the S90 review, the first lineup of the line, I was surprised by what I copied from the iPhone almost all - the size and weight, perception in the hand, even the presentation made the same by having touched the construction of slides. However, look at the Lenovo S90 photo, the similarity will be a markedly unarmed look.

Expanding the line, in Lenovo wanted to preserve the continuity of design, but sharply reduce the cost of the device to make it more popular. The task sounded simply: "Let our middle-level apparatus remain like an iPhone, but will become accessible." The traditional approach to achieving such a goal is to reduce the components compared to the older model - there were also acted so, reduced the permission of the front chamber, changed the battery, put a simple IPS screen instead of the AMOLED display-declared in the senior model and reduced the volume of built-in memory up to 8 GB . But added a slot for memory cards, which makes the model even more interesting than its senior fellow.

At official photos, the similarity of the S60 with iPhone 6 is clearly traced, these products are similar.

Unfortunately, in life it is not at all so - there is no reason about any real similarity of speech, since the glossy plastic of the body converts the appearance of the phone so much that the consciousness refuses to perceive it as a copy of the iPhone. This is an excellent demonstration of how the product perception affects what materials are used. Even the same buildings of the housing, the bends and the location of the elements do not make S60 to perceive with similar from the iPhone 6, it is perceived entirely differently. Similarities can only be angry in the pictures when you do not see the plastic case.

No matter how strange it sounded, but the greatest advantage of the S60 was to become a design, similarity from the iPhone 6. It would be this similarity and give the impetus to sales. Get the same design at a price less than three times, it costs expensive. And, as practice shows, there is always a significant number of consumers, which is pecking for such proposals. But then something went wrong, the copy does not look a copy, and therefore will be perceived separately. It is just another plastic phone in a Lenovo line, which can easily be lost among the masses of other models. It is curious that in the world no one hurries to write the reviews of this apparatus, despite the fact that it is already sold and available on the market.

Positioning that thought for the phone did not work. From here we only have positioning that the market dictates. Price and ratio price / quality for that segment in which this device is present. In the review we will try to figure out how good these parameters are good and correspond to the market.

Design, dimensions, control elements

By and large, the S60 tried to do on the basis of S90, replacing only those elements that could be painlessly changed. The aluminum corps turned into a plastic, which did not lead to an increase in the mass of the phone (129 grams), but its thickness increased, its dimensions - 143.3x72x7.7 mm. There are no special differences in how the phone is felt in hand, no, except that the metal S90 pleasantly refrigerated her hand, and then it is not. Many will put on the phone with a transparent case from the kit, which will slightly increase its size, but this is not a problem.

Color solutions four (pink only for China). I had white and gray devices, in principle, and that, and the other look good. But they have no charisma, it ordinary phonesThe design is not perceived somehow especially. With the same success, it can be phones from any Chinese manufacturer.

The layout of the control elements is as similar to that in Lenovo S90 with some differences. On the left side there is a tray for two SIM cards, they are unequivocal (one 2G, another 2G / 3G / 4G, a voice in 4G is not supported). Radio module in the apparatus one. I was surprised that the 2G-card is Nanosim, although it was possible to expect exactly the reverse. That is, if you suddenly decide to remove the SIM card from the iPhone, you can only call it. While all possibilities are available in Microsim-Map.

Below you can see the tray for microSD cards, limit on its size is 32 GB, which looks like a spear savings and is very surprising.

On the right side - a paired volume adjustment key, on / off button. The microUSB connector is on the bottom end, right there is one speaker, despite the fact that the holes made symmetrical.

On the upper end is 3.5 mm connector, in Lenovo S90 there was a small problem with it. On the frost plastic "walks", contact with the headset is lost. The whole design is such that many headsets with S90 do not work. Tested on Apple's headsets, Samsung, as well as Monster headphones. In S60, nothing like this is observed, the connector is omnivorous and accepts any headsets, in any case, there were no problems for common problems.

On the front panel there are three touch keys under the screen, a 5 megapixel camera with fixed autofocus is located above it. On the rear panel you can see the main 13 megapixel camera, as well as the LED flash.

There is no complaints to the quality of the assembly of the device, it is not bad. Protective "Glass", covering the screen, is slightly drowning, there is an edge. It is relatively easy to scratch and quickly covered with losses. Apparently, to solve this issue and added protective film In the kit.

Display

The screen has the following characteristics - 5 inches, 1280x720 points (294 ppi), IPS. In Lenovo S90 there is an amoled matrix, which makes this device more interesting. However, from the quality of the quality of image, brightness, brightness and other parameters, the IPS matrix in S60 is not much inferior (it rather says that the amoled display in S90 is far from the best samples).

You will not notice special problems with the screen, the matrix will be blind in the sun, but the picture remains readable, you can consider it. The stock of brightness is not very large, but it is typically for most Lenovo devices. Also, the generic feature is in chopped fonts, they do not like me very much, there is no smoothing, and it's not very nice to look at them. Moreover, such fonts are used both in the interface and third-party programs. Automatic adjustment Brightness is not bad, but it is easier to set the same level that it will give more comfortable use of the phone.

Productivity, chipset, memory

This is a complete copy of the older chipset model, here stands here Snapdragon 410, MSM8916, 4 cores with a frequency of 1.2 GHz, graphic coprocessor Adreno 306. For the work of the shell of the standard interface of this processor, it is enough for the eye, everything is pretty quickly and there are no problems. In heavy applications, the processor also manifests itself not bad, the minus is power consumption, it increases sharply. Create a subtle long-lived phone on this chipset is impossible. However, read the section about the battery, I think you will understand why.

In synthetic tests, the phone shows the following results.

The amount of RAM - 2 GB, built-in - 8 GB (user is available about 5 GB), memory cards up to 32 GB. In the version for China, the amount of memory is 1/8 GB, respectively.

Communication capabilities

LTE support should please those who believe that this is the limit of dreams. There is no NFC in the phone, which will not be critical for many. USB 2.0 is supported, there is a USB Mass Storage mode, but there is no USB OTG. Unlike the older model, they changed the Bluetooth version, she is not the third here, and the fourth, which can only be welcomed.

Battery

Battery LI-POL 2150 MAH, the stated time in talk mode - up to 30/16.5 hours (2G / 3G), in standby mode - up to 14/10/13 days (2G / 3G / 4G). The battery in this apparatus is one of the weakest places, as well as in a similar VIBE X2, which is more powerful by the chipset, but works approximately a comparable time.

With my profile of using the device lived until 5 o'clock in the evening from 9 am (brightness of 40 percent), while used social networks (about an hour), approximately 20-30 minutes of calls, about 30 minutes of playing music, several photos. At a lesser load, it was enough from morning to evening, but it was necessary to limit himself in everything (2 hours of screen operation). For those who use devices to full, it is clearly not best model. If in the same VIBE X2 made an external fastening battery, then it is not provided here - show design and appearance. Dark battery and small time.

On average, the screen is enough for brightness of 40 percent for 2 hours of operation with a total time of about 20-22 hours in the absence of calls, but when mobile Internet. Video playback time at maximum brightness - up to 6 hours (in S90 - up to 8 hours!).

Very small time of work, which is the most serious minus for this phone.

The total battery charging time is about 2 hours.

Camera

The phone has a Purecel sensor from Omnivision (13 megapixels), this is the development of 2013, which is used in many Lenovo devices. It is very inferior in the quality of Sony Exmor, so even in the future you should not wait for the camera to shoot in all modes at the level of similar devices.

The LED flash is not very powerful, but with its task it completely copes. The camera interface is quite convenient, there is an electronic level, the logarithmic splitting of the screen for those who want to build the composition correctly.

And here are examples of photos and videos.

Software features

The device goes to Android 4.4.4. All the possibilities of the superstructure used over Android called VIBE UI are described in a separate material. I will not repeat.

It remains an open question whether the update will be up to version 5.0. From the point of view of the chipset, such an update is supported. But most likely, the company will not update this unit.
