Lenovo S930: photos, prices and user reviews

It's hard to say which class of devices the Lenovo S930 belongs to. On the one hand, it's a smartphone with active support for two SIM cards, and on the other - a tablet, the diagonal of which is a decent 6 inches. It is his characteristics and will be discussed in this short article.

Completion, design and ergonomics

Although the size of this smartphone is quite impressive, but the manufacturer himself refers it to the class of medium-sized devices. Hence it turns out that it is not necessary to expect something unusual in the configuration. Everything in this case is rather typical:

• Smartphone with overall dimensions of 170 x 86.5 mm. At the same time, its thickness is 8.7 mm and the weight is only 170 grams, which for a phablet with such dimensions is very small.
• Battery capacity is 3000 milliampere / hours.
• A usual stereo headset. The sound quality in it is very mediocre, but this is enough for a typical average music lover. But music lovers should immediately think about buying another, better speaker system.
• The cord and the adapter in one person - "MicroUSB" - "YUSB". He and the battery charges, and connect to the PC allows.
• Charger with the output of "YUSB".

Also, without fail, there is a user manual and, of course, a warranty card. The protective film and cover are not included with Lenovo S930. The front panel of the gadget is made of ordinary glossy plastic. So without a special protective film can not do. The side fins are made of nickel-plated iron, and the back cover is made of polycarbonate. The volume and off buttons are grouped on the right edge of the device, and the touch buttons are located below the display. All this allows, if necessary, to manage the smartphone only with the fingers of one hand only. But still 6 inches impose their "imprint" on the convenience of management, with such dimensions it is still better to do it with both hands.

Hardware resources of smartphone, camera and screen

A bunch of CPU with a graphics adapter is the weakest link in this file. Still, the MT6582 with 4 cores of revision "A7" and a peak frequency of 1300 MHz is not enough for today. However, most of the tasks can be solved with the help of its computing capabilities. This includes watching movies, playing music, reading books, and surfing the Global Web. Also, the Lenovo S930 can easily cope with most games. The only exception in this respect is only the most demanding toys of the last generation, which require large computing resources of the CPU. The same situation is with the Mali-400MP2 graphics card. As noted earlier, the display diagonal of this smartphone is an impressive 6 inches. It processes a maximum of 5 touches at a time. Its resolution of 1280 x 720, it displays over 16 million color shades. It is also based on a qualitative IPS-matrix, which makes the viewing angles close to 180 degrees. At the heart of the main camera S930 is a rather modest 8 Mp matrix. Its capabilities are supplemented with an autofocus system, LED flash and digital zoom. As a result, the quality of photos at an acceptable level, as for the average price range. The second camera, located on the front panel, is based on a 1.6 Mp matrix and is great for making video calls.

And what about the memory

The amount of memory installed in the mobile phone Lenovo S930, no complaints. The amount of RAM in it is 1 GB. A built-in drive has a size of 8 GB. If desired, this value can be increased by 32 GB by inserting an external microSD flash card. All this in total provides a smooth and comfortable work on this device.

Autonomy and battery

Not very resistant, as for such a large device, a battery is installed in the phone of the Lenovo S930. Reviews of the owners of the gadget indicate that one charge in most cases is enough for 12 hours of battery life. That is, this smartphone is necessary every evening to put on charging. Although the battery capacity is an impressive 3000 milliampere / hour, but so in fact the diagonal of the display is 6 inches. Do not forget also about the processor, which consists of 4 cores. In general, how long it will be possible to stretch the battery in such an intensive mode, it is difficult to say. But you can immediately purchase an external battery with the connection interface "MicroUSB" and at least somehow solve the problem with autonomy. Of course, this will spoil the look of the smartphone, but at the right time it will not let you down.

BY

Runs under the control of the outdated, but at the same time the most popular version of the mobile OS "Android" with the number 4.2 smartphone Lenovo S930 SILVER. Overview Installed settings indicate the presence of "Lenovo Lauscher". Its main task is the ability to customize the interface to the needs of the user, and he copes with this superbly. A standard set of utilities is also installed: a calculator, a calendar and a browser. In addition, a set of programs from "Google" is installed. Chinese programmers and social networks have not forgotten. In this case, we are talking about Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The rest of the software owner will have to download and install from the "Android" -market.

Data exchange

Lenovo mobile phones are always equipped with a rich set of communication capabilities. S930 in this regard, the exception did not. First of all it is necessary to allocate support of networks "ZhSM" and "3ZH". And they are fully and simultaneously working. That is, both SIM cards are constantly in active mode. "ZhSM" networks allow to transfer information at speeds up to 500 kbit / s, and "3Z" - up to 15 Mbit / s. In the first case, you can communicate in social networks or download simple sites. But "3J" allows you to fully work with any amount of data, and even make video calls. Also there is "Wai-Fay", whose capabilities are similar to those of the third generation. True, the speed in this case is much higher - 150 Mbit / s, but the range is reduced to 10, a maximum of 15 meters. Another important wireless interface is Blutuz. It has a low speed and a short range of action (similar to "Wai-Fai"). But in the case when you need to transfer a small amount of information from one tablet or smartphone to another, without it it will be very difficult to do without. The set of wired interfaces for this smartphone will be more modest. There are only "MicroUSB" and 3.5 mm for connecting external speakers.

Reviews

This phone is already quite a long time and is very successfully sold. Therefore, you can already find a lot of reviews about it. Most of them speak of the following advantages:

• A large display diagonal, which in this case is fantastic 6 inches with good resolution (1280 x 720).
• Well-honed hardware. Interaction of RAM, graphics adapter and CPU does not cause any complaints.
• Optimized power consumption. The battery lasts for 7 hours of video playback in a very high quality.
• The sound is impeccable. Feel both low and high frequencies.

But the drawback is one - unstable work of the firmware. But if you want, you can eliminate this minus by reinstalling the software. At the same time, the price for it is only 190 dollars. That for a device of this class and with such parameters is very small.

Conclusion

An excellent combination of excellent performance and low cost is the Lenovo S930. One significant drawback of this smartphone is the low battery capacity. But here the battery with a larger capacity in such a thin body can not be shoved. In the rest it's an excellent mid-range smartphone with a very large screen diagonal, which in this case is fantastic 6 inches.
