Sobrang panalo na to, kakabili lang namin last 2 days. Ang ganda ng screen, the best ang IPS, parang lamang pa to sa mga HD screen ng ibang brand. Hindi halata na qHD lang sya.

Ang downer lang talaga yung internal storage 2GB accessible lang. Tapos mukang di supported ang external installation sa SD ng apps.

Sobrang sayang yung GPU nya kung hindi maiinstall sa SD. Pa help naman kung sino may info pano to maresolve, if there’s any.

good compromise for low price. lower specs of both cameras and lower resolution and lose the gorilla glass.

just keep paying 100-200 pesos every few months to replace the screen protector with a new one, cut to size since no one makes screen protectors for unusual models

@ungas
hindi makakapag save. pero pwede ka gumamit ng link2sd and foldermount para yung app+data nasa external na. kaya kahit 64gb ultra sandisk

@wew
meron po siyang notif LED

pagkaroot niyo link2sd agad and foldermount. max ko sa antutu 17.8k tas sa nenamark2 60.9fps

I have been using this phone from last 15 days and problems facing are::-

1. Voice quality is worst, you will face disturbances coming when calling and talking with anyone.
2. you cannot call someone when you are on other call at the same time there is option to do that, niether there is any functionality for dialpad to change its settings for conference calling.
3. Lenovo customer support services are worst, i have called them on support number and they didn’t even care they told me that we dont have service center in your city and can provide you with address of service center near your city.
I mean WTF, you have to leave your work and have to go out of town just for this repairing.

One thing i liked about is its customization lenovo did very well customization and haven’t seen customization before in any other andriod phone.

My rating – 2 star [DO NOT PURCHASE]
