Lenovo A8501 GB RAM

Purchased this device from a Local Store at a price of Rs.12,600/- and moment I unboxed, I realised a BIG device. Display: Display is good with Modest pixel density and satisfactory viewing angles. But brightness and sunlight visibility is not upto the mark. 540x960 pixel resolution is not apt for a 5.5 display. But pixels are not embarrassingly visible and lenovo manage it well. Touch & Typing: Atleast for an hour, I though touch is a Gone Case in this device but as I continued using it, the touch became relatively smooth and more usable than the first one hour. Might be an initial Hic-Up!! Keypad is well laid and is comfortable to type both in landscape and portrait modes. Point to mention here is the keyboard has the inbuilt quality of continuous input which makes life even more easy. Gaming: Plays Mid level games to moderate Highlevel games properly without an issues. Tried Subway Surfers, Templerun 2, Dead Trigger, Asphaly 8 etc and all of them played seamlessly. Connectivity: Gives 21 Mbps speed on HSDPA+ and all works very well. Call clarity is good and no call drops faced so far. Processor: Works on ARMv7 Processor clocked at 1.3 Ghz and 1 Gb RAM out of which more than 580MB is free and user available. Interal memory is 4GB out of which 1.2 GB is used for Mass storage and 0..91 GB is free for Apps. 32GB expandability is allowed. Camera: This is the only Con of the phone as far as I am concerned. Outdoor snaps and Ok ok.. but indoor snaps are pathetic. Noika 2MP cam is far better than this 5MP cam. So if you want to take a lot of snaps, this is certainly not a better option for you. ANd if you are ignoring camera part, this is one of the better devices available at a budget price of below 13K. Conclusion: A 4 Star rating gives proper justification as Camera is bad. UI is simple with additional themes pre-installed on the device. Lenovo should work on cameras of their devices. But at this price, 1.3 GHz Quadcore processor and 1GB RAM is impressive. Value for Money phone and definitely deserves a try. Happy Flipkarting!!!!!

I purchased this product a couple of days back from a local shop in the exchange for my previous Galaxy Nexus, which i had to change because of the battery backup. I had to stick to a tight budget of 15k so i brought this piece and so far I am really happy with it. The pros and cons are as follow: PROS: 1) The looks of the phone are very good. 2) The built quality is superb, overall the looks and the built makes it a premium device, so no doubt there. 3) The screen is big i.e 5.5 inches. Surprisingly big for this price range. 4) The Mediatek MTK 6582M at 1.3 GHz performs too good. Beats all phones in below 20k range and some above 20k too, for eg: like Galaxy Grand(both), Mega 5.8, Sony Xperia C etc and i guess it equals Xperia SP. Mediatek MTK 6582M performs better than MTK 6589 and even MTK 6589T and hence beats all Mediatek powered local brand phones. 5) Benchmarks: Antutu - ( 17,100), Quadrant - (6001) and Nenamark - (full 60fps) which is amazing. 6) GPU is Mali-400MP2 which is certainly better than Power VR SGX544 which is almost in all local mediatek powered phones. 6) RAM is 1 GB out of which you get 972 MB usable which is excellent. There is well more than 600 MB RAM free before installing apps. 7) Dual sim. 8) Sound is very loud and good. Not excellently clear but very load and reasonably clear and definitely audible. 9) In-call volume and clarity is good. 10) Music quality in my headphones is good. I haven't tested the stock headphones. 11) Comes with android 4.2.2 installed. 12) Memory can be expanded to 32 GB via micro sd card. 13) Nice and clearly visible notification LED. 14) Lenovo launcher is highly customizable. 15) Pricing is very very good. NEUTRAL POINTS: 1) Battery is good but not excellent. I feel Lenovo made a mistake by giving only 2250 mAh battery to power such a huge screen. It should have been atleast 2500 mAh; but nonetheless it still gives me a good 24 hours of battery life with 3G always on and mild - moderate usage. Should definitely last u through workday hours i.e from morning 10 to evening 8 or something with moderate usage. Ultimately this depends on user to user. One can use the provided Lenovo power app to maximize the battery life. 2) The speaker's loudness sometimes tears the voice. 3) The speaker at times gets covered by surfaces and blocks the sound. I would blame the design of the phones for this. 4) Awkward positioning of buttons. Power button on top and volume button on the right. 5) Its fairly long time since 4.3 has released Lenovo should give it out to its customers now. This should have come with it. CONS: 1) Camera is not good at all. Lens is not upto the mark. Bad decision of giving only 5mp of camera in these days..seriously who gives 5mp of camera nowadays!? Front camera is just VGA. Should haven been atleast 8mp rear and 1.3 mp on the front. 2) Too big, Its very very big. A screen of 5 inches or even 5.3 inches like that of S920 would have been better. 3) Resolution is bad for this screen size. As is said in the previous point a screen of 5 inches with this resolution would have been better. 4) Internal memory is just 4 GB out of which you get 2.07 GB for use. I don't like this trend of giving just 4 GB of internal memory. Its too less for installing apps. Moreover you can't transfer apps to your sd card, so you are stuck with 2.07 GB of space for apps unless you root. Should have been atleast 8 GB of internal storage. 5) No Gorilla glass. Deducting one star for battery capacity and all cons. VERDICT: A nice tight budget phone with hefty performance and reasonably good battery life(which could have been better). If you are on a budget of less than 17k then you should definitely close your eyes and go for it. For brand freaks, Lenovo is a good reputable brand which you can trust on.
