Lenovo K860 smartphone review

The organization has been known mostly for its PCs and notebooks until now. Now, Lenovo wishes to be a name individuals consider when they purchase their next intelligent phone. It must have taken them sometime to collect up the bravery and get into the extremely aggressive industry. Companies like Acer and HP, who were delayed newcomers in the intelligent phone industry had to bid a fast getaway despite reasonable promotions. Hence, releasing no less than five new mobile phones in the Native indian industry at the same time is hopefully a sign of Lenovo’s take care of to create its indicate here.

I got my arms on Lenovo’s most top quality intelligent phone to be presented in the Native indian industry – the Lenovo K860. With a 5-inch show it plays with a few mobile phones - companies LG Optimus Vu. But the higher, shapelier Lenovo K860 cover up the otherwise big show well. The all-black ligament too helps it cut some of its large.

The back panel is texturised so you can hold it better and if it unintentionally falls, hopefully the Gorilla Cup façade will preserve you some expenses.

Watching media

The Lenovo K860 comes with an IPS show which means it has pretty reasonable viewing perspectives. Not that you will want to look at a feature-length film with a lot of buddies on a smartphone! But, if you want to show off your photos from a latest holiday or capture up on Middleton’s maternity on DailyMail then the show will let you do so without a hassle.

I viewed a number of The Office bloopers on YouTube on the Lenovo K860. Both the sound as well as video excellent is reasonable. However, the amount is not noisy enough for a number of buddies seated together and enjoying songs - you would definitely need exterior sound system for that.

Camera

The intelligent phone comes with an 8 mega-pixel photographic camera. The in-app customer interface might seem a bit messy at first with all types of modifying choices and there are more than a few these. You can play around with images with the Lomo, Mono, Experience Twist, Comedian, fluorescent or Timber Cut results. For moments, you have the regular lot of presets for Scenery, Sundown, Celebration, Backlight and even Drop Colors. One good about the photographic camera app is that once you take a click, it provides a number of after-effects choices instantly, which you can review to see whether it increases your click well. If not, you can dispose of it and preserve the unique one.

When I press the shutter key for a extended time period, the photographic camera instantly goes on to the ongoing method. You can take a highest possible of 100 photos in one go. The overall image did not let you down. It’s the same you would get out of any reasonable 8-megger intelligent phone in you need to.

Negatives

A small issue I had with the Lenovo K860 was to do with its customer interface. Due to the point that there are no components control buttons, most routing symbols are exclusive and are shown at the end of the show. Now, when I release the web browser on the intelligent phone, I get an additional part of exclusive control buttons on top of the current ones, which help me with in-app functions. Why do I need two levels of icons? Would not it be more effective and structured to just have one which I could use for a set of functions?

Another quirk is the point that when you long-press an symbol in the extended selection, it does not instantly get included to the desltop. Going the Apple company way, a long-press triggers the ‘app editing’ operate and allows you to remove or reshuffle applications on a particular show.

Something known as ‘Smart Sound’ sneakers in on the Lenovo K860 whenever you create a speech contact. This is expected to destroy normal disturbance to improve your speech on the other side of the contact. But, at times, I was informed that my speech could not be observed for a matter of a few moments into the contact. This occurred irregularly, without any particular design, and with various phone callers (from different places and service providers).

Reading

Thanks to the 5-inch IPS show, studying on the Lenovo K860 was a enjoyable encounter. The show can be a little frustrating at its smartest, but with the show lowered, lengthy stretches of surfing around through Flipboard or capturing up on information experiences in Beat was not a hassle at all.

Typing



The exclusive keyboard is not susceptible to a lot of mistakes. It also provides you the choice of ‘Google Voice Typing’ although it seemed like I’d preserve a longer period just writing it out rather than dictating and then solving the mistakes. You can even touch and zoom capability into information – mostly beneficial when you want to duplicate a number. In addition, there's a quick connection choice in case you want to deliver across an image you clicked or an sound information file you documented.

Battery

Despite the 2,250 mAh power supply, power supply lifespan on the Lenovo K860 is not the best we’ve seen. But, then there are only so many high-end mobile phones that create it past the working day indicate. The intelligent phone comes with 8GB storage on panel for you to preserve information. Media individuals will definitely need to top this up with an exterior storage (up to 32 GB).

The Lenovo K860 comes with a 1.4 GHz quad-core processer and makes the intelligent phone a pretty smooth one to use. On our conventional Quadrant benchmarking analyze, the device obtained about 5,128 factors, making companies HTC One X and New samsung Universe Nexus behind.

For a first, the Lenovo K860 is a very excellent high-end providing from the organization. While most of the functions it is gifted with, allows it to take on its opponents within that cost range, regular appearance indicate it might be sometime before you might see individuals displaying their new Lenovo intelligent phone. Another 5-inch intelligent phone by the organization is the Lenovo S880, developed to optimize multi-media encounter on a intelligent phone. This one also comes with a dual-SIM port and costs about a excellent ten huge smaller than the K860.
