Short Review
- The Lenovo A690 features a compact design with dimensions of 124 x 65 x 11 mm and a weight of 134g, making it portable.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6575 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The camera system includes a 3.15 MP rear camera capable of 480p video recording, but lacks a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 1500mAh, providing limited usage time without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread), the software experience is outdated and lacks modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- Overall, the Lenovo A690 is a basic device with minimal features and specifications.
- It is primarily suitable for users with very simple mobile needs.
