Comparisons Featuring Lenovo A706
Short Review
- The Lenovo A706 features a compact design with dimensions of 136 x 69 x 10.4 mm and a weight of 130 grams, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8225Q Snapdragon S4 Play chipset, a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, providing decent multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 2000 mAh battery supports basic usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is relatively dated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in black and white/grey colors, with no water resistance features.
- The device lacks stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Lenovo A706 is a straightforward smartphone suitable for essential functions.
