Lenovo A5000 - affordable 5-inch smartphone with an impressive battery capacity (4000 mAh). Pros unit: comfortable in the hand, it a significant battery life, bright HD-display, two SIM-cards and a slot for memory cards.Perhaps the smartphone is no longer special merits, but it has and do not have any obvious drawbacks for its price. In this budget there is almost everything: the typical, boring design of Lenovo, the absence of LTE and the average camera. Even the processor, although powerful enough, but come from the already distant 2013. Lenovo A5000 is suitable for those who do not like permanently or for a long time to charge your smartphone is outside the home or office. He could Become a bestseller, if he had a more affordable price. But it's a bit overpriced: other "long-playing" phone or cheaper or offer better than the Lenovo A5000, characteristics for the same money.

Dimensions

Lenovo A5000 slightly larger than most 5-inch devices but in comparison with other smartphones with great autonomy, it looks fine. It is quite comfortable in one hand, but to manage it more convenient to two.Dimensions of the device - 140 × 71 × 10,1 mm. So, it is thinner than the Sony Xperia E4 , which does not differ very capacious battery, and almost the same as the Philips S398 . Weight smartphone - 157 grams. The appearance is typical for a budget device companies - usually looks a bit boring. Relatively unusual smartphone Lenovo A5000 only translucent bumper (like cover) and a strip of metallic colors along the ends. Housing material - plastic, removable lid, but the battery can not be removed, as indicated by the corresponding inscription on it. The build quality is fine, but the smartphone Lenovo A5000 slightly creaks and flexes when pressure is applied to it. Also, the manufacturer alone mentions the protection of the screen against splashes and rain, but the case is not waterproof. In just a few weeks of using the device is not scratched, and maintain a healthy appearance. Phone Lenovo A5000 can be bought in black and white.

Screen

Display Lenovo A5000 - a typical middling sufficiently clear and bright, but in the sun it is almost unreadable.The type of matrix - IPS, resolution - 1280 × 720 pixels, which is enough for a clear picture on the diagonal of 5 inches. The pixel density like  Huawei Honor 4C  - 324 dpi. This is a simple display, without any bells and whistles in the form of a special protective glass or oleophobic coating. The screen smartphone Lenovo A5000 average viewing angles. The maximum measured brightness colorimeter - 371 cd / m2. Not bad, but the display is much glare on a sunny day, and difficult to read on the street. The minimum brightness - 15 cd / m2, it is quite a lot for comfortable reading in the dark. Color accuracy is average, but not bad for a low-cost smartphone. The display mode is not wearing gloves. But it has Auto-Brightness - and it works adequately light conditions, though without the possibility of smooth adjustment.

Camera

The smartphone Lenovo A5000 uses the camera of medium quality (8 and 2 MP). They are enough to free shots, but do not expect too much from them. The main camera has a flash, autofocus, HDR mode and is able to shoot panoramas. The front camera will fit for video or Self "entry" level. The maximum photo resolution - 3264 × 2448 pixels. The quality of the photos gets an average, the level of detail for a good 8 megapixel. The camera focuses quickly. However, it is suffering work with light, with stand exposure only for some point of the frame. From HDR mode almost no sense - the photos are either dark or overexposed. With good lighting the camera Lenovo A5000 is still possible to remove the high-quality photos, but if it becomes dark, the camera immediately begins to "make noise". The front camera is 2 MP is suitable only for video and unpretentious self. Lenovo A5000 smartphone is able to shoot Full HD-video (1920 × 1088 pixels) in 3GP format with stereo sound and autofocus at 30 frames per second. There is also an electronic stabilization. The front camera can shoot video with a resolution of only 640 × 480 pixels, although the setting is written about the availability of HD-resolution (1280 × 720 pixels). It looks like a hoax: like promise video in high resolution, but in fact it is low.Most likely, overlooked for the settings.
Working with text
Typically, Lenovo does not draw its own keyboard for smartphones. So in Lenovo A5000 uses a standard, but comfortable keyboard from Google. She is familiar to users of Android - support Swype, switching between languages ​​with one button and no additional markup characters.

Internet

On the smartphone Lenovo A5000 preinstalled several different, in its convenient browser. Google Chrome tabs will synchronize with the desktop version. The browser on Yandex lets do the same and has a turbo mode for fast loading pages. UC Browser has a read mode and Auto Fit text to the width of the screen. Lenovo A5000 starts to noticeably slow down when you open the browser's heavy 4-5 tabs.

Communication

In terms of wireless connectivity and communication smartphone Lenovo A5000 - a typical public sector employees. So, it has Wi-Fi (802.11 b / g / n) with the ability to distribute the Internet, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP and GPS-module. Do not have a smartphone LTE, only support 3G. Everything works fine, but GPS-module has spent a lot of time in the cold start - about four minutes. Lenovo A5000 is a Dual-SIM model: the phone has a slot for a Micro-SIM and the other - for Mini-SIM card. In the smartphone has a slot Mini-jack and an ordinary Micro-USB 2.0 charging and data exchange, without any frills.

Battery

Battery life - this is the main, if not the only advantage of Lenovo A5000, for which it and will buy. Battery capacity is impressive - 4000 mAh (as  P70 Lenovo , Lenovo P780 or a small tablet, such as Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0, 4 ). In our tests, Lenovo A5000 HD-video lost a little less than 9 hours, the result of some, like  Huawei Honor 6  orLenovo Vibe Pro Z2 . In audiomarafone smartphone plays out in 76 hours, it is not a record, but some, like the flagship Samsung Galaxy S6 . In Geekbench Battery Test Lenovo A5000 lost about 10% of capacity per hour. Producer separately mentions the rapid charging smartphone. In our tests on a full charge Lenovo A5000 took a little less than three hours. For such a capacity and charger 2A to it pretty quickly.

Performance

Smartphone Lenovo A5000 can be called middling in terms of performance - it works normally, no more than that. Fillings enough for most tasks, including some games. As the processor is used not the latest quad-core MediaTek MT6582, clocked at up to 1.3 GHz. Almost every other state employees in 2014 was equipped with the same filling. RAM - 1 GB.
Chipset:Mediatek MT6582
Number of cores and frequency:four core, 1.3 GHz
RAM:1 GB
Memory:8 GB
Graphics processor:Mali T760-MP2
With such characteristics Lenovo A5000 shows only average results:
  • 18,711 points in AnTuTu v5.7.1 (comparable with  LG G2 Mini )
  • 1181 score GeekBench 3 (lower than the  Samsung Galaxy S3 , 2012)
  • 2867 points in the Ice Storm Unlimited from 3DMark (like Sony Xperia E4)
In the opinion of experts Product-test.ru, smart Lenovo A5000 - not the best option for the game, even though he "pulls" the majority of them. The most demanding are playable only on minimal graphics settings. For example, a mediocre Minion Rush, although there is fine, but occasionally slows down and the game in general lacks smoothness.

Memory

For storage Lenovo A5000 smartphone has an 8 GB. Of these, the user can use only 5.3 GB. But memory can be expanded with memory cards up to 32 GB. It is then possible to choose as the default memory and store it in the master data.

Features

Lenovo A5000 phone is running Android 4.4.2 with firm shell Vibe UI. The main feature of the smartphone - the battery capacity of 4000 mAh and as a result, good battery life. Also it can be called unusual dvuhsimochny Lenovo A5000, and one slot is under the Micro-SIM, and the other - under the Mini-SIM card. It will be convenient for those who are upgrading from an old phone, but do not hurry to cut the old card under the small format. In a number of pre-installed smartphone applications - cleaning RAM, a file manager, services from Google, the application of Yandex, social networks, a series of games. Unusually, that part of the preinstalled software can be easily removed.

Competitors

The average price for Lenovo A5000 for summer 2015 - 12 thousand rubles. With such a price can be compared to the smartphone  Philips Xenium W6610 or Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. Philips Xenium W6610 - cheaper and lasts longer, thus looks quite unusual. Otherwise, he probably loses - poor filling, bad camera, a small amount of memory and a huge shell thickness with exorbitant overall dimensions. Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime - worth fifteen hundred cheaper, and looks, in our opinion, prettier. He is also a bit thinner, but slightly longer and wider. At Grand Prime more powerful stuffing and front camera of 5 MP. But Lenovo A5000 still working longer, and its screen is much sharper - 1280 × 720 pixels 960 × 540 against.
