Comparisons Featuring Lenovo A616
Short Review
- The Lenovo A616 features a straightforward design with dimensions of 149.9 x 77.1 x 9.2 mm and a weight of 174g, available in black and white colors.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 178 ppi, which may not provide sharp visuals.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6732M chipset and a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, the performance is adequate for basic tasks, supported by 4GB of RAM.
- The Mali-T760MP2 GPU handles light gaming and multimedia with moderate efficiency.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera, limiting selfie capabilities.
- The 2250mAh battery offers basic longevity but does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.4 (KitKat), the software experience may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers, but it includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Lenovo A616 is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for casual users.
