Short Review
- The Lenovo A526 features a compact design with dimensions of 132 x 67.6 x 11.1 mm and a weight of 145g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 218 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6582M chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which is suitable for basic tasks but may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of capturing standard images, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, supporting basic usage without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature water resistance or premium materials, and it is available in blue.
- Overall, the Lenovo A526 serves as a basic smartphone for essential functions.
