Lenovo Debuts The All-New

Smartphones are getting incredibly affordable and safe to say not only are we in a Flagship smartphone golden age, I believe we are in the Golden Age for smartphones in general. Lenovo have strengthened their mid-range and low-range smartphones today with the unveiling of 6 new devices across the A and S-Series. Starting with the basics, the A526 is a core device for the masses. Sporting a 4.5Inch FWGA screen at 854×480 and running on a MT6582M 1.3GHz Quad-Core processor and 1GB of RAM with 4GB of internal storage. The A526 has a dual-SIM system as well as a 2,000mAh battery and is priced very competitively at RM469. Going one step up is the A680. If you want a similar spec with the A526 but with a bigger screen, the A680 has a 5inch display running at the same 854×480 resolution. Other than that, the rest of the specs are the same, with the A526 and it will retail at RM499. Sitting pretty at the top of the A-Series is the A859. The A859 is a 5Inch device with a 1280×720 IPS display and is being powered by the same MT6582M 1.2GHz quad-core processor as the other 2 in the series. Sporting 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal memory, the A859 also has a 8MP rear camera and 1.6MP front shooter. The battery on the A859 isn’t that much bigger with 2,250mAh but at RM719 RRP, it’s still a pretty decent buy. The S-Series is Lenovo’s mid-range segment and pulling up the rear is the S650. Featuring the same processor as the A-Series phones as well as 1GB RAM, the S650 is the bridge between the 2 with a 4.7Inch qHD display at 960×540 8MP rear camera/0.3MP front camera and 2,000mAh battery. The S650 will retail for RM699. If you’re looking for a higher battery capacity but similar specs you have the S660. With all of the specs the same except a larger 3,000mAh battery the S660 is a decent device at RM749 Right at the top is the S860. With the same processor as the rest, the S860 flexes its muscle with a 5.3Inch 1280×720 IPS display and 2GB RAM with 16GB internal storage. The S860 has a 8MP rear camera and 1.6MP front facer as well as a huge 4,000mAh battery it’s a pretty decent buy if you’re all about endurance and performance is second. The S860 will retail at RM1,169
