Lenovo A60 Android phone lands in the Philippines

Why are there 2 processors, an ARM11 and an ARM9?

when will this be available in the market?

I think it is possible. It’s the same case with the first gen archos tablet. for efficiency maybe, the smaller cpu will take the lighter activities. I think they can’t work simultaneously as a 1Ghz++ processor though.

Specs of the phone is actually decent. with that price, it is in the same league of SE X8, Galaxy Mini, Nokia 500. This one got a dual-sim, so I guess its the best entry level android phone ATM.

I was wondering about that myself but there are some youtube videos showing the A60 playing youtube videos.

I think i just typed something that somehow makes me laugh when I read it again….

The price is OK, but it could’ve been a bit cheaper. It’s. actually cheaper here than if you purchase it from HOTMID.com or Merimobiles.

i read in google searches that this doesn’t come with android market. is this true?

The question is if the specs is enough to support flash. I doubt, because of it can, it would be the cheapest phone to offer full android experience. next would be SE xperia mini.

parang ok itong dual sim na ito, check nyo po sa youtube. at parang affordable din for an android and dual sim phone at that.

sir yuga, available na po ba ito sa Pinas?

The phone runs 2.3 version with 3.5in HVGA Capacitive Multi-Touchscreen. It has built-in Android Market to download tons of apps. It also supports flash player. The phone also has a built-in Portable WLAN Hotspot which can share internet connection up to 5 wireless devices. Cool!

Php7,990 tlga price neto?

hi sir, can you comment on the picure quality

yes it will play flash embedded sites

poor processor usually found in knock-off chinese mobile phones.

Hi! I am using one right now for days now and it’s working good and fast for me. We all know that the specs aren’t that good but hey…it’s only 7999.00 for a dual sim android phone. I installed my usual applications like kindle, fring, viber, papaya farm and its working ok for me. I was looking for a dual sim android for awhile and i saw a cherry mobile dual android for Php 9999.00 which is more expensive than this one i got, i checked the review and specs and i have found out that there were lots of people dissatisfied with it. Good thing i saw this lenovo A60 or else i would have regretted the day i bought that cherry mobile.

hi gaby, what app market are you using? thanks. ung akin ayaw ng android market e.

Battery life is good too! Ginamit ko yung 3g nya whole day and wifi from time to time then chat sa viber battery life is really ok.

hello, guys san kayo nakabili nito? may store ba sila sa mga sm cyberzone? kamusta naman ang UI nya? sbi kasi ng iba prng china phone dw ang UI nito?

Hi @Josh i don’t exactly know what these people are saying, i am using both samsung galaxy phones;P1000 and P9000, and the UI almost looks just the same. Though some settings were made different but still it works exactly the same, of course specification wise…samsung is better. Thats where some of the applications come in. Some are compatible some are not, all because i think of the processor or the make of the phone. Tho most of the applications i installed like papaya, viber, fring, pingchat, mau mau works on the phone. I installed also an application to change its UI and it works and looks ok. So i think some of those who are saying that it looks like China phone maybe just maybe they didnt really purchase and never tried the product. I say its perfectly fine for me…well if they come up with a five inch screen dual sim phone then i would certainly go for that than this. :) Plus lenovo are also makers of laptops and pc’s! And i have read they’re one on the top list in making good computers. Up to you though if you want to buy it or not or just go for samsung or lg or any make of android phone.

Lenovo A60 a.k.a. Spice Mi-350 a.k.a. Cherry Mobile

Halata ka masyado Gaby. Masyado kang hardsell. Simple ka lang.

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 :)

Hi @Divyesh Welcome. :)

Hi, tulong naman oh :) just got my a60 kahapon, ok naman lahat exept sa apps niya, di nagkokonek sa net pag app gamit ko ( facebook app tsaka yung iba pa) pero pag browser gamit ko kokonek naman…. it must be just a setting lang siguro sino makakatulong?? thanks a lot!

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. :)

specs according to lenovo http://lenovomobile.com.ph/products/a60_tech-specs :)

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.

isa pa po palang tanong. pre installed na ba yung android market saka nagwowork ba yung apps na galing dun? pasagot naman po. salamat ng marami!

meron bang flash ung camera? tnx

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?

do you have accessories already for Lenovo A60?

Tanong ko lng kung may flash yung camera? Tnx

I think that A60 does not have an android market access. It what i saw in the video review of colonel in youtube. Now i was second guessing in buying this phone. if it really has an android market access i will buy it next week so can someone send me a reply regarding in this matter.heres my e-mail ginbrix****@****.***

hi tim. san ba pede mka bile ng lenovo a60? balak q kase bumele saka may mga nbsa akong feeds na may prob raw sa sms. eto oh..

The Lenovo seems to have a problem with SMS. I have encountered problems where you can’t send text messages and it’s replicated across other A60 models. I’ve asked Lenovo for help but they haven’t responded.

I bought my Lenovo A60 only last Sunday for only P7,090. My comments for my unit are – the RAM is only 202 MB; there are times that when I move from homescreen to application list it takes 10 seconds to show the list from full black color, in my solution I removed some applications that I frequently saw in “Running Applications in RAM Used” like Battery Saver application and now maintaining minimum of 30MB RAM; until now there’s no jelly / protector case available in the market.
What is good here – longer battery life compared to other low cost phone; Most of the applications are installed in SD with the help of Apps 2 SD unlike in my previous Samsung Galaxy Y, most of the downloaded apps went to internal.

Before I bought this unit, I thought the RAM is 256MB based on what I’ve read in different websites.
There’s only 1 service center in Phils which is in Chino Roces, Makati.

Tim, thanks for your suggestion of Zeam Launcher, it really improves.
Does anybody here encounter that during wall charging, the keyboard goes abnormal like When I pressed the backspace, instead of erasing the letter, it shows “p” or “o”?

Tim, today is the 7th day of my new unit so I have still option to return for replacement my unit. When I called this morning the Service Center, he said that even his personal unit encounters the same abnormality. Although in my case, not all charging have experienced this problem. In your case, kahit saan ka nagchacharge, experience mo ‘to?

Using the Lenovo A60 for three months very disappointing. Experienced a whole lot of problems and couldn’t trust my phone anymore. Buti na lang nakapagsave na for a new phone :(

Sir, I have read in tablet forums that the touchscreen goes crazy during charging when there is an issue with the charging cable.

In short, during the charging your unit is effectively ‘grounded’. Not sure how it was fixed, but you may take a look at it. Your phone’s problem might be the same.

I appreciate all the reviews and comments on this site, very informative.

Although i just would like to ask if A60 does have DUAL SIM STANDBY? –
Let’s say you are w/ smart and globe. If someone calls your smart sim, will it still received the call even if you are using globe that time???

Hi,

Ask ko lang, pede ba magdownload nang adobe flash player sa lenovo a60? naloloka na kasi ako sa kakadownload, hindi naman sya mainstall.. please reply.. Thanks.

where can i buy this phone. i’m near greenhills.dunno kng mayroon sa vmall

I have read so many articles or reviews on the topic of the
blogger lovers except this piece of writing is truly a nice paragraph,
