Lenovo A60 Android phone lands in the Philippines

Lenovo Mobile has just announced their very first phone (and an Android for that matter) in the country — a Gingerbread-touting, entry-level smartphone called the Lenovo A60.

This is the first time we’ve actually heard of Lenovo going into the mobile market in the Philippines.

Lenovo A60 specs:
3.5″ HVGA display @ 320×480 pixels
MT6573 ARM11 650MHz + MT6162 ARM9 400MHz
PowerVR SGX 531
256MB RAM
512MB ROM
220MB internal storage
up to 16GB via microSD
3G/HSDPA
WiFi 802.11 b/g, WiFi hotspot
Bluetooth w/ A2DP, EDR
GPS with aGPS support
3.2MP rear camera
0.3MP front-facing camera
FM radio tuner
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread
Li-Ion 1500mAh battery

Oh wait — it’s dual-SIM too! Dual-standby, that is.

The suggested retail price is Php7,990. The specs doesn’t really inspire a lot of awe, especially that low-res screen. The specs aren’t verified so they might change as we dig for more info. Will get more details and update this once we get them.

    can i upgrade the android OS of this phone? i hope this will be compatible with the upcoming android OS Ice Cream Sandwich 2.4…

    Im planning to buy one of A60 or the L70.i just need to know if OS can be updated.Ive checked on the settings > about phone : there is no option for software update…does it need to be connected to pc to update it, not over the air?

    with my lenovo a60, medyo dissatisfied ako sa sms kasi far sighted ako at hirap basahin yung font size na ang background pa e bright blue at gold,then i downloaded GOsms which is customable nga lang laggy, siguro lahat ng apps ng “GO” kasi gumamit din ako ng GOcontacts at ganun din halos 10seconds bago magbukas…then yung pre-installed gallery app ko laging nagha-hang…any suggestions what i could do guys?

      Mmm i can’t help you on that department and i am not sure bakit ganyan na experience mo sa unit mo kasi mine is really ok. I am not exaggerating or over patronizing pero mine is really ok. Sometimes you have to consider factory defects if you are having problems with it while others don’t. The only problem i have with my Lenovo A60 is that some downloaded applications just don’t really work. It crashes when you open it. But some work and some will say when you open the app “Hardware specifications isn’t compatible with the application” so expect it to hang.Maybe another reason is that you need to transfer some applications on your memory card so atleast it would leave enough space on your ram that’s what i do with mine. Try doing that baka it might help.

    Yes pre installed na lahat me mga updates of course so need mo wifi or mobile connection. Of course di ito yung high end phone nakita mo naman specs nya so expect mo some apps di mag work kasi need nya bigger memory or higher hardware specs so far naman me mga apps ako na download like games ng papaya na ok sa phone ko at yung messengers like ebuddy xms whatsapp ay ok din.

    tanong ko lang po, ok lang ba yung signal nito dito sa pinas? pinagiisipan ko kasi kung bibili ako kasi mukhang ok naman siya. pero yung reviews niya kasi na galing sa ibang bansa medyo mahina daw signal.

    • Avatar for imlukin4luv imlukin4luv says:

      So far sa area ko dito eh ok naman signal nung sakin. Sun at Globe gamit ko so far di sya nag faflat.

    • Avatar for kristine kristine says:

      a. salamat po sa reply. tanong ko narin po kung lumalabas ba yung sim menu nung mga sim? parang yung smart menu at globe menu? sa ibang phone kasi hindi e. saka kung mms capable ba yung phone?

    Lenovo a60 seems to be a decent phone for just 7-8k but i choose LG Optimus One instead. This is my first Android. I kinda suspect the support for Lenovo phone. LG though not great is good enough. The way Lenovo customized the UI is too much which made me go for LG. I hate Samsung cheapo droids, the screen is so awful.

    Hi @blue
    paki check mo nalang ang data settings mo i am sure yun lang problem pag connection. Check mo na din ang tamang setting ng service provider mo.

    @Yeng yeng buti naman at nagustuhan mo kasi ako satisfied ako sa phone na ito sana nga maglabas sila ng dual sim na 5 inch tulad ng samsung note. :)

    Hi @kangkongcornick oo nga tama ka jan. Peace sa lahat…Merry Xmas na din sanyo! Yes na notice ko nga sa lenovo mas bihira sya mag lag kesa sa samsung i9000 ko kaya eto gamit ko kasi minsan mag lag ang samsung ko eh lalo na pag marami ng apps. So far yung lenovo ko di pa masyado. Sana nga lumabas na din yung 5 inch nila kasi gusto ko yung specs ng phoneblet nila at sana din mag labas din sila ng extended battery or longer battery life ng phone na ilalabas nila.

    @kangkongcornick eto yung link nung 5inch na phoneblet ng lenovo: http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/5-inch-lenovo-android-phone-photos-leak-20111122/ at http://futureandroidphonesreviews.blogspot.com/2011/03/lenovo-lepad-price-and-release-date.html

    soon to be released daw atleast mas cheaper kesa sa galaxy note ng samsung tried and tested naman na ang lenovo so i think i might go for that 5 inch na phoneblet

      Hey Thanks for sharing such kind of sites.

      Wala ano man, hirap kasi sa ibang tao di na nga nagbabasa ng mabuti panay hirit pa ng walang katuturan basta makapagpasikat lang. Sa mga viewers dito peace lang tayo mga tsong, andito lang tayo para mag-share ng experience sa mga bagong hybrid phones ngayon.

      Anyway, mas mataas ang benchmark ng lenovo a60 keysa sa cherry mobile stellar.

      Matagal ko ng inaantay yung Lenovo p70 na may 2000 mAh battery kasi pinaka-importante sa akin ang long battery life. kung sino man po ang nakakaalam kung kelan dadating dito sa pinas itong lenovo p70 post nyo agad dito o baka meron kayong alam kung saan ito nabibili.

      Lenovo a60 vs cherry mobile stellar. Lets Get It On!!!

    Hi @kangkongcornick Thank you sa help! :) Binasa ko kahapon yung review nung link na binigay ni @papichulo169 it seems like di nya binasa maigi ang specification at lalo na yung forum. wala sa kanila nag sabi ang spice at cherry mobile ay iisa actually mukhang yung “spice” ay parang cherry mobile or torque or myphone sa ibang country di ko lang sure kung saan pero ang currency nila is “RS” anyway na mention din dito sa review ang lenovo at sinasabi na kinopya ng spice ang design ng lenovo a60 at na mention din na china made ang phones ng spice or something to that effect. Ang point ko lang @papichulo169 di ako nag hahard sell or nagpopromote ng phone. sinasabi ko lang ang naexperience ko sa lenovo at tinutulungan ko lang mag decide ang mga purchasers. like sa sinabi ni @kangkongcornick meron sya stellar at lenovo and it seems ang cherry is laggy tulad ng sa orbit na nabasa ko before ko binili ang lenovo a60. with this information it would help purchasers kung ano ang dapat nila bilhin. andito lang tayo para mag guide at di manira o magmagaling. Once again @papichulo169 wala nag mamagaling dito lahat dito ay nagsasabi ng experiences nila sa phone na binili nila at tinutulungan ang mga buyers kung ano dapat ang para dapat sa kanila like sa sinabi ni @kangkongcornick: kung cherry mobile ang gusto mo then dun ka. which is true! wala ako sinabi na pangit ang cherry mobile at wag kayo bumili. and most of all basahin mo mabuit yung pinost mo na link kasi wala talag dun ang aka cherry mobile na sinasabi mo. sigure in design meron sa iba sa listahan pero like what i said yung spice na yan eh mukhang china phones na binebenta sa ibang country din under the guise of spice nga lang. anyway @kangkongcornick check mo pala isang product ng lenovo na lefone at p70 maganda din specs nya tapos maglalabas daw sila ng 5inch na phoneblet parang galaxy note ng samsung….parang gusto ko din yun!
    …Merry Xmas! hehehe :)
