"Lenovo R780" - reviews. Specifications "Lenovo Р780"

The Chinese company Lenovo, which manufactures computers, has long begun to develop the smartphone market. Its first products were perceived without much enthusiasm, but those who had time to evaluate the work of models of this manufacturer, were satisfied. First of all, the success was promoted by the serious approach of specialists to the realization of these products. Smartphones also use high-quality materials for the case. But the most attractive feature of this brand was a low price for products.

Today there is no single answer to the question of whether it is worth buying smartphones from Lenovo or not? It all depends on what the user is used to working with, and what features he needs. And the last smartphone "Lenovo" P780 has plenty.

It reflected all the modern developments of the industry, as well as some of its innovations. This suggests that the company does not stand still and is actively developing this direction.

Who is who

For a clear classification of their products, specialists have a very simple and understandable marking. All have become accustomed to the fact that the letter is the first in the model. It means the device class. The letter K (for some reason, the last letter of the word Geek) means the most advanced achievements and is assigned to the flagship models. The letter S (from the word Stylish) is assigned to stylish models that have distinctive features in appearance. If the beginning of the name is the letter A (from the word Affordable), then this is a budget model. Finally, the letter P means that the model is made for the business class, although it is taken from the word Proffesional. It is to this group, as you had time to guess, the phone "Lenovo" P780. In this line are assembled devices with characteristics that are slightly smaller than the flagship ones. But there is something distinctive from ultra-functional advanced devices.

Overall Impression

At the first acquaintance with the device there is a firm impression that in the hands of a thoughtful and high-quality smartphone. In part, this is the effect of weight, which is 176 g. Compared with other plastic "lightweight" it is heavier. This is facilitated primarily by the battery, which, together with a capacity of as much as 4000 mA / h, has a solid weight.

The back cover of the device is completely made of metal, which gives a pleasant chill on the palm of your hand. Also there is a metal edging along the contours. It is worth noting that not many companies carry with metal parts and prefer plastic. In this regard, the characteristics of Lenovo P780 favorably differ from competitors.

In the device itself there are only three physical buttons. One - to turn on, and two - to adjust the volume. On the front side, everything is sensory. Such a performance, in principle, no one is surprised. Probably, soon there will be smartphones in general without such "survivals" of the past era.

Appearance

The appearance of this smartphone is not the most unique. Everything is done in traditional colors and shapes. The front side is completely covered with glass Gorilla Glass 2 and creates the impression of solidity. The black color of the body adds even more solidity and masculinity. Everything is done so succinctly and simply that I want to call a smartphone a pedant. Undoubtedly, it was created for businessmen who are primarily interested in work. And in our case, quite a long time.

If someone does not like dark tones, then you can buy a case for Lenovo P780 and transform his blackness into something that you like. In the market of accessories, it will not be difficult to find.

The main three touch buttons at the bottom of the screen are icons that are highlighted in white, which show the essence of the operation when they are activated. They are almost invisible when the smartphone is in standby mode.

The rear side is, as mentioned earlier, a metal cover. Its color is black with lines appearing under the paint or, if you like, scratches that imply factory quality. It is also stamped in white bold font brand name.

Power and memory

After the impression of physical data, the user will be no less surprised by the hardware stuffing. In the heart of the device is a crystal with four cores. Each of them works with a frequency of 1200 MHz. High-speed memory is for some reason 1 GB. But still this bundle is more than enough for the firmware Lenovo P780 to work reliably and quickly.

To place files there is 4 GB of built-in space, and it can be reached up to 32 GB through memory cards. However, additional memory will have to be purchased unambiguously, because of only 4 built-in ones, only 2.8 GB is available.

To process video data, a processor is used, which is called only Power VR SGX 544. It is quite tolerable with its duties and does not disappoint the brakes of fans to watch movies in good quality.

Electronic Tests

If you drive the smartphone system through virtual testers and compare results with similar competitors, it turns out that our applicant is in middle position. In some cases, when users wrote a review of "Lenovo" P780, there were also less than average results. But you should not rely on such data, because not everyone has a smartphone that will work on critical loads.

Screen and sensor device

To display information, a five-inch screen with an IPS matrix is used. The resolution is 1280 × 720 pixels and is not the most beautiful solution. But the sharpness of the image is quite suitable for the work of "Lenovo" P780. The feedback on the screen is mostly positive.

The brightness can be adjusted in the hands of the automatics or set its own values. At maximum illumination, the picture looks clear, and the colors are balanced. With a strong tilt of the screen you can see some distortion in the color reproduction. The purely black color turns into dark blue when tilted. But everything is within reason.

For the convenience of the user, when the phone is brought to your ear, the proximity sensor is triggered and the sensor is turned off. Therefore, do not worry that touch can be perceived as controlling functions.

The sensor is well accustomed to recognize up to ten simultaneous touches. With this, you can flexibly manage functions and quickly switch between them.

Protection against external influences

If you look closely, you can see that the surface of the protective glass has an anti-reflective coating. It is doing its job well. There is also a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) layer, which to some extent prevents the appearance of fingerprints and greasy spots. And if they do, they can be easily removed from the screen. For this purpose, use a soft cloth or microfiber.

Photo and video capabilities

For fans of photography, the smartphone has an 8-megapixel camera. It takes off with an average quality that does not disappoint, but it will not surprise. Photos from the Lenovo P780 camera, which can be found on the Internet, look fine, and the blur can only be seen in the background. The color reproduction is true and does not "collapse" in any of the spectra.

For help, there is an automatic and manual focusing. It is also possible to select the required quality and format of the picture. For shooting in the dark, a LED fill flash is installed.

The videos are shot with the quality of Full HD (1080 r). They look great on the screen. When viewed on a wide monitor, the quality is slightly lost, but this is not critical. In video mode, you can select two file formats: MP3 and 3GP.

For video calls there is a small front camera with 0.3 megapixels. Its quality is enough only for this purpose. But you can also make a picture for contacts.

Two SIM cards and their mode of operation

To distinguish between business and home calls, the Lenovo P780 phone has the ability to install two SIM cards. Since there is one radio module in the device, they operate alternately. When speaking on one operator, the second one will be unavailable. The location of the cards is very convenient, since you do not need to remove the battery to remove them.

To configure the operation of the operators, you should immediately assign a card to use the Internet, send SMS and other functions. To make calls, the phone will ask for the operator's choice each time.

Wireless and useful programs

To communicate with other devices, you can use the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. They will allow you to send and receive files, and also to log on to the Internet.

To work on the network there is a pre-installed browser. The smartphone menu already has icons for quick access to accounts of all popular social networks.

To determine the coordinates there is a GPS-navigator. It will help you navigate the terrain and make a route to the desired object. In addition to it, there is a built-in compass and accelerometer.

To work with documents, an office software package is installed. If you need to record something, and there are no handles at hand, then you can use the built-in voice recorder. All this is perfect for those who often work with text files and who need to record different information.

Device Battery

The undeniable advantage of the smartphone is its powerful battery. According to the manufacturer, it is able to maintain the working capacity in talk mode up to 43 hours. Most likely, this is a very real picture. With intensive use the device lasts about three days, which by the standards of such devices is a very good result.

The battery itself takes up a large part under the back cover. The manufacturer does not recommend to extract it. That's why it's screwed. For prevention even a special strip is sealed in the form of a seal. By the way, the guarantee will cease to operate if it is damaged.

Since the smartphone does not want to part with the battery, there is a reset button. It is located near the memory card slot and is painted in red.

Ease of use

Managing the functions of a smartphone is a habit for those who have long used this technique. Holding the device in one hand, you can safely use it. The only comment on the Lenovo account of the P780, which was found on the Internet, is the location of the lock and power button on the upper end of the case. This performance makes you reach for it every time you use it.

Next to the button is a slot for connecting the USB cable. It is corked with a special plastic lid, which can only be opened if you threaten to break the nail. It is really very tightly closed. With it you have to fight every time you need to charge your phone.

In terms of managing functions, everything is convenient and thoughtful. Above the "Android" system 4.2 is installed a small proprietary shell. Everything works fast. For example, when you start the navigator, the satellites are detected surprisingly quickly. Therefore, in this respect, the characteristics of "Lenovo" P780 are well suited for a car that needs an interactive map of the area.

Equipment from the manufacturer

When unpacking the box "Lenovo" P780, a photo of which is depicted on its surface, it can directly detect the smartphone itself, the charger and the USB cable. Separately, I want to say about the OTG-cable, which is also included. It is a wire of small length, on one side - a micro USB plug, and on the other - a USB slot. Thus, you can connect to a smartphone an ordinary USB flash drive for transferring and copying data. Not every manufacturer can boast of such a function.

Among other things, vacuum headphones were put in the box . They sound at a good level. They can be reliably attributed to the benefits.

For those who first hold a smartphone in their hands and want to master the Lenovo P780, the instruction is to help. It will allow you to quickly learn the basic functions of the device for effective use.

Overall Impression

This model will undoubtedly be in demand on the market. Since the problem of autonomous work of competitors is quite acute, those who need a long time without recharging, will give preference to this brand.

Also a positive incentive will be the price of "Lenovo" P780, which is slightly lower than that of the others. However, there is no danger that this may be a sign of poor quality.

After the release of this smartphone in 2013, the year the users spoke at forums about the Lenovo model P780. The responses in most cases were positive. All celebrated a good assembly, fast work and, of course, just unprecedented battery life.
