One of the most beautiful smartphones Chinese company Lenovo. Model, in which case a lot of glass, the logo on the back panel is highlighted, and the pattern here resembles the texture of denim. However, this unit is not only curious about it.

Packaging and delivery – Lenovo S850

The box that comes Lenovo S850, made ​​in terms of branded products: the red part where myself and is a smartphone, plus the necessary accessories, and white with a gray cover. Examining the latter, you can see a picture of the tube, a few footnotes about key features of the “smart” phone, as well as the model name, manufacturer information about the country and so forth.

Its designation is on the bottom wall of the red portion of the package. However, in my opinion, is too interesting to the user, they will not be – purely technical information designed to increase distribution.

After opening the box, in addition to the smartphone user to ‘discover’ the charging adapter, massive micro- USB -cable, as well as high-quality wired headset required documentation plus a clip that provides access to the trays SIM-cards. The latter, incidentally, are equipped very unusual. But talk about this in more detail below.

Appearance and Customization – Lenovo S850

Perhaps it is not wrong if I say that Lenovo S850 – the most beautiful smartphone eponymous producer. Oh, at least those with whom I have a “sign” in person. Glass front and rear body, two-edging around the perimeter, beautifully iridescent pattern on the rear panel, which, incidentally, already dubbed as a style “under jeans,” and even backlit during charging, or unlock the manufacturer’s logo. In short, companies are trying to do everything to Lenovo brand as quickly as possible ceased to be associated with cheap and “lifeless” smartphones. And the S850 in terms of design a prime example!

To build quality claims also to be found. The secret here is simple – molded body format. Simply put, access to the battery you do not have.

What else like it – use the protective glass on the front and back panels. This manufacturer “raised» S850 above even the same Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (review here ). The latter, as we remember, on the back wall was only “tsarapuchy” plastic. The user can not be afraid for the appearance here soon scratches or scuffs. The only thing that “sin” as the front panel and the back part of it – it’s fingerprints and thick oily stains. However, “clean” and the first and second special is not working.

Ergonomics functional elements – Lenovo S850

Lenovo S850 front panel is divided between a large display, three classical touch buttons located slightly below it, the frontal eye 5 megapixel camera, light sensor / proximity, plus mesh earpiece and display events.

In the body, the back of the eye has concluded 13-megapixel camera, flash, plus the aforementioned manufacturer’s logo.

Looking around the right side face is easy to see the power button on / off and volume rocker sound.

The opposite of remarkable conclusion grid speakerphone, trays SIM-cards. By the way, with the latest from Lenovo got interesting – both slots «SIM-ok” to each other and aligned in the end user on the outside of the case sees access to only one of them. However, it should only take out the tray, in reality, it is found that both “left” both because they are “connected” one design. Whatever you say, but it looks quite unusual and at the same time it is convenient in terms of ergonomics.

At the top end port equip micro-USB, as well as the classical derivation of 3.5 mm.

Finally, looking at the lower bound, the user has noticed a miniature output built-in microphone.

Display – Lenovo S850

Lenovo S850 has a 5-inch display with a resolution of 720h1280 points. At the heart of IPS matrix with decent viewing angles both vertically and horizontally.

The density of pixels per inch – 294 Pixelize to the user if he “unarmed” magnifying glass, invisible.

The screen has a decent anti-glare properties and highly performed well while working in bright sunlight – ‘extinction’ insignificant flowers.

Adjusts the lighting of two classic options – either manually or automatically.

Problems with the latter I did not have corresponding sensor is triggered correctly.

Staying in the associated sub-settings, the user can work with the indicator events, adjust brightness, activate or disable the “Screen Rotation” and use such an option as “Inversion LCD.” Last makes dark background, and displayed on it the letters white – quite convenient solution for eyes at night.

Sensitivity of the screen raises no objections – supports touch control through five fingers simultaneously.

Speakers – Lenovo S850

Two separate speakers with pretty good by the standards not music smartphone features. Subscriber perfectly audible in room conditions, and on the street or even a noisy prospect. It neither to the one nor the other hand is not accompanied by noise or distortion of another plan.

Multimedia in practice proved to be sufficient for the voice mp3 or video in a room, an incoming call when you stay on the street or on public transport.

In the settings are all pretty typical! The user can select a particular profile, adjust the volume of notifications, multimedia and so forth, as well as assign specific incoming ring tone each SIM-card, and more.

Battery and autonomy – Lenovo S850

Built-in battery capacity of 2000 mAh. The manufacturer promises up to 13 hours of battery life in calls.

In practice, a full charge will be enough for 3 hours of games or 5-5.5 hours on maximum brightness.

Has not been here without my add-power save mode. On its peculiarities few days ago I told in detail in a separate review . Turn, get to know!

Equipment – Lenovo S850

Initially, the model appeared on the market with Android 4.2.1 “out of the box.” If anyone has forgotten, the manufacturing company revealed the handset still on the WMC 2014 in Barcelona in February, but the Ukrainian user unit came already with Android 4.4.2, which, of course, it’s nice.

Over the axis of the latest version of branded Lenovo Camera.

Created smartphone based on a 4-core CPU MediaTek 6582, the clock frequency of 1.3 GHz. In addition, “on board” Mali-400 and 1 GB of RAM.

I will only add that implemented the “iron” is enough for playback Full HD – video and to run demanding games.

Camera – Lenovo S850

The device has two separate chambers – the main 13 megapixel and 5 megapixel front.

Despite the fact that the latter did not get autofocus in good light conditions, the user can rely on the good quality of the self.

But the main 13 megapixel camera “equipped with” flash and autofocus system for a photo. There is also a considerable number of different settings. But the focus during video recording is not available.

Conclusions – Lenovo S850

Well, this phone Lenovo S850 is quite a considerable amount of “things” that can distinguish it from the competition. But the main thing – it’s design. In this regard, the model turned “on its head” above the many decisions of Korean, Japanese and Chinese brands that felt from the very first minutes of the meeting. The only thing that did not like me personally – the inability to extend the built-in memory, even connecting the USB-drive. How big is this “fee” for the opportunity to own the “glass” is quite a decent smartphone with “iron”, will leave every reader decide.

Pros

– Solution design model;
– The level of housing assembly and kits;
– Good opportunities speakers;
– Android 4.4.2;
– Decent “iron” and performance

Cons

– Lack of support for the specification OSB OTG;
– No autofocus for video

Estimated price: $ 255

The post Review of the smartphone Lenovo S850 – “Einstein from the glass!” appeared first on Raqwe.

In the summer we have on the site was a curious material for which peck in the comments. Spoke about the smartphones that brazenly pinched design with the iPhone. About today’s guinea even the company says – well, Lenovo S850, such like on the iPhone.

Lenovo S850 presented back in February at MWC2014 in Barcelona in the company strongly autonomous S860, about which we have already mentioned , and S660 models. Our guinea once described as “selfifon for the ladies.” But is it? Let’s find out.

Appearance and ergonomics – Lenovo S850

I will not hide, the device is pretty but on the iPhone is similar (although there are those who compared the device with the Nexus 5). At that, the good-old, perfectly licked. Just more in the parameters. Lenovo S850 – iPhone-like on Android and overgrown with luminous inscription Lenovo. Yes, let’s start from this side. On the back of a smart – inscription Lenovo, and it glows righteous white light in several situations:

• Unlock the device – for a few seconds;
• notifications of missed calls, messages, e-mail;
• during a call;
• indication of charging.

And that, my friends, the game in advance. Checkmate, Apple? During the tests met a dozen girls and boys (yes, boys too, it maintained), which saw this glowing detail, saying, “Oh! What is it? I want to own! “. At the same back up are located on the main camera 13 MP, slightly recessed, and flash. Side. Well, just to the side and all.

Take a closer look at Lenovo S850 have something, I will never tire of repeating that it was beautiful. On both sides it is completely made of glass. The rear surface of still and all in fine pattern. Hem? Dots? Diamonds? It does not matter. The main thing is that it is glass. This has its advantages: looks elegant, yet it seems more than their price. But the disadvantage of soiled present. At the expense of the fortress will not say anything – it was possible for the tests never dropped. (U-ee-e!)

Due to the parameters of 141 x 71 x 8,2 mm and weight of 140 grams smartphone fits comfortably in your hand, pocket, purse, backpack, briefcase, shirt pocket. Where he likes. My last smartphones (first Oppo Find 5, and now – OnePlus One) is very large and heavy. Yes, and that prevaricate – iPhone now too large, 2: 0 downright. After their Lenovo S850 – the most comfortable equipment ever.

I do not like the fact that the sides of the smartphone plastic. They seem to be stylized metal, but metal is not, and faster than other construction details zatrutsya or damage. I want metal ends all devices!

Ease of operation and contributed to the controls placed wrong. The power button is slightly recessed, and in this “boat” -vyemke it very easy to find by touch, the course is short and tangible. Swing control is higher, move her languid. It turned out that the power button – under the knuckle and swing – right under the pad of his thumb.

At the top end – microUSB slot and 3.5mm audio.

The left side was surprised. Speaker. Wow, the speaker side. If you’re a lefty or keep smart left hand and right – flipping the finger to close the speaker breeze. On the whole, he did not sound so good to deserve a separate column in the review. Loud, the relative purity and quality. If you ask for and the search, you can find the same money for something more interesting in terms of audio. Under the speaker slot disappeared for two Micro-SIM. In my copy of this slot has been adjusted is not perfect, and even in the closed state thundered like a rattle. Not bothered.

Buttons are still touch and take part of the “chin.” And on top – the earpiece, front camera eye as much as 5 MP and the window indicators. And branding can not do without it.

What I did not like in the assembly, so it is fitting glass to plastic. Top of the already seen that the dirt will clog. Or stiffness smartphone. It is not perfect, and under pressure from Lenovo S850 starts plaintive squeak. But all in all, if you do not quibble over the details, the unit was very comfortable. Just right for a girl. Lightweight, stylish, compact enough for 5-inch, pleasant to the touch. Chinese Pearl. And if your girl mi-mi-mi and nya nya-nya-ie Lenovo S850 also in pink. Then it would be a review of pink pearl. Thanks for which Lenovo, do not bring us the pink technique to charts, thank you.

Display – Lenovo S850

The front part of the device is covered with glass, but due to the fact that the display is slightly recessed, around the attaching plastic sidewalk “Border”, so that’s not scary smart to put the glass down. Although Lenovo S850 anyway – will still be glass down. And the glass top. Your CEP.

5 inches – is, in my opinion, the most optimal diagonal smartphone among all those available. And HD resolution is also very fit for smartphone mediocre, with a density of 294 ppi though far from the record, but for the average user – goes. Included – good viewing angles, the image is not distorted, even if you will turn his hand to show a picture, and decent oleophobic coating, very pleasant to the touch. Brightness is very good, the sun smartphone behaves well. There is an automatic adjustment of brightness. However, the contrast is not the most demonstrative, but overall looks good. Especially because at the screen and color decent. That is, as always, it sags a little in the cool shades, but it’s such a customary bug, you can tighten the thumb to the eye.

Not at the expense of the largest of frames around the display Lenovo S850 is convenient to use. But the trick in the form of black frames inside is present here, eh. Overall impressions of the display remain good. Only here note – predefined minimum brightness has not even minimal. There is still much to pull the slider.

Camera – Lenovo S850

In 2014, a girl with no self in instagrame considered incorrect. Therefore, 5 MP front camera will be on guard sotsialochek. We can not say that the quality of the photographs will build possessor Lenovo S850 in status photographer avtoportretista, but here there is also a function of the alignment of the skin, and the magic of additional illumination.

Therefore, with the help and the photos are quite ok, if the normal lighting, and video too. Here’s an example.

As for the main camera, it is a 12 megapixel, autofocus, HDR and creative soul. Double sunrises on the image – this is not an excerpt and not a filter, it is a glitch, but beautiful. As with any other camera srednyachka, this is not suitable for recording video and photos at dusk. In the rest of the time you need to use the settings on the camera and do not shake hands. The resulting pictures are not crisp and clear, as for my taste, but we used them in sotsialochkah – and like niche, prokanaet. But in general the results are average.

Specifications – Lenovo S850

Lenovo S850 – is not the most advanced smartphone on the gland. He even very far from the whole of the subject. It has quad-core CPU MTK 6582 1.3 GHz with graphics Mali 400 and 1 GB of RAM. All of this was enough for the average speed of loading pages in the browser, about the launch of two videos on the same page of the question. Games – at medium graphics settings, the test results are not distinguished points, the application periodically fall out, and sometimes even from the curtain and do not open accounts Tapan couple of times.

This is a person who is familiar with all the top-end devices, begins to twitch nervously eye and shake hands. For a man who is unlikely to be open in chrome 100 bookmarks at once and chopped in Modern Combat 5, the performance results are satisfactory.

But that’s 16GB. As for me. it is not enough, because immediately available 10 GB, and a memory card slot is not provided. But as the experience of users and sales statistics, much of this is enough. Basically, if you use the cloud storage, or just periodically clean the phone (the gallery of photos and video at least), it may be, and have enough space to live happily ever after.

Shell – Lenovo S850

The smartphone runs Android 4.4 KitKat with brand Lenovo Launcher launcher without the main menu. There is nothing special to write, because everything is written here here . Very detailed. And in the comments, you can even find a link to download the shell. Only one funny moment. Everyone knows that in the intro hidden Android game paskhalochka. At Jelly Bean it was chewy candies that need pulyat on the screen, and at KitKat – vindous market with all sorts of plitochki. So here Lenovo S850, which runs on Kitkata such easter eggs – flying candy. A trifle, but strannenkaya.

Autonomy – Lenovo S850

2000 mAh for the average iron in the modern world is still not a lot. I use both SIM cards, not indulged in any Wi-Fi, or the mobile web (they have me not even disconnected), social networks and yutyubchike. Enough for 5 hours of video online and 3 hours drive in the machine. Have a reasonable system unit energy savings, and it works, but 2000 mAh – this is still not enough. On a working day will be enough, but if you need something a little more substantial, then there are two models of Lenovo S860 and R780, and we have here is a selection .

Conclusions – Lenovo S850

Its positioning “selfifon for Girls Sims 2” Lenovo S850 justified. It is perfect clash between external beauty, unassuming inner peace and a decent camera for self-portraits. Not to say that men, this option will not work absolutely. Smartphone light, beautiful, compact, with a good display and srednyachkovy on speed. Beautiful smartphone wants them every, especially against the background of everything that you can buy for $ 250. And this is also a glowing inscription, which immediately attracts the attention of people.

If you look at the value in the category of $ 250 and +/- 50 $, Lenovo S850, as for me, the most beautiful. As for the main bugs – a limited amount of memory, and so his autonomy – and within this price you can find something cool. Same Lenovo P780 solve the problem of autonomy, or Moto G, it has support for microSD. Alternative – Huawei Honor 3 or Sony Xperia M, too dvuhsimochny. But that’s all old people last year, and none of our beautiful not Lenovo S850.

The post Lenovo S850 – selfie-smartphone for the ladies (no flowers) appeared first on Raqwe.

Particularly aggressive marketing strategy the company is offline – storefronts breach under the weight of devices Lenovo, and get to work without seeing advertising Chinese, almost unreal. But not only those supported by the popularity of Lenovo. Have great company and smartphones, for example, Lenovo IdeaPhone P780 deserve people’s love through a huge battery capacity of 4000 mAh. Apparently, Lenovo noticed this today in Barcelona were three new superavtonomnyh smartphone – Lenovo S660, S850 and S860.

Lenovo S660

Not difficult to guess, Lenovo S660 – most of the budget submitted by the troika smartphones. Economy of triples, but not by the standards of the budget market. 

Lenovo S660 is equipped with a quad-core 1.3GHz production MediaTek. Think about Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0 and support for HSPA + in 2014 are not talking. RAM – 1 GB, the memory – 8 GB, it can be expanded with microSD cards up to 32GB.

It’s nice that the back cover is made of metal devices. Thickness gadget is 9.95 mm. IPS-diagonal display is 4.7 inches with the resolution – 960 x 540 pixels. Traditional for Lenovo, smartphone supports two SIM-cards. Resolution main camera – 8 MP, front – 0.3 MP.

Now, the most interesting – the amount of battery and price. Lenovo S660 battery capacity is 3000 mAh. Given the resolution of the display (960 x 540 pixels), it’s safe to say that this phone will work for very long. Unit price – $ 229.

Lenovo S850

Lenovo S850 focused on the beautiful half of humanity. On this, at least, say the device available colors – white and pink. Devaysa thickness is 8.2 mm. The back panel is made of glass, you’ll also find glowing logo Lenovo. Apple stiffened. 

Inside mounted quad-core processor MediaTek 6582, which is clocked at 1.3 GHz. RAM – 1 GB, the storage – 16 GB. Display size S850 – 5 inches, it is also made by technology IPS, its resolution – 1280 x 720.

Continuing the theme of gender-oriented smartphone, not to mention his camera. Behind this sensor with a standard resolution of 13 MP today, but the 5-megapixel front-facing camera can be called a record. Just imagine what level will come SELF happy owners of Lenovo S850! And nothing about the quality of photos breakfast and girls in the mirror and think scary. 

S850 also supports two SIM cards. The operating system – Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The volume of the battery – 2000 mAh. This cost will be a ladies’ man $ 269.

Lenovo S860

Actually, the successor to the very R780. Combines them record battery capacity – 4000 mAh. Lenovo S860 in this idea has continued, and now with the unit is a special cable with which the S860 can charge other devices. 

Of iron are all very similar to the S850. Processor – the same quad MediaTek, the same 16 GB memory of the memory, but operational, compared to S850, more – 2 GB.

Diagonal Lenovo S860 – 5,3 inch, IPS-matrix is ​​1280 x 720 pixels. In S860 cameras installed easier than S850, – the main has a resolution of 8 megapixels, and the front – 1.5 MP. 

Powered smartphone running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Like other smartphones Lenovo, S860 can work with two SIM-cards. Price new – $ 349.
