Comparisons Featuring Lenovo A859
Short Review
- The Lenovo A859 features a simple yet functional design with dimensions of 142 x 72.5 x 9.2 mm and a weight of 163.3g, available in black and white.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, delivering decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera with autofocus and a 1.6 MP front camera, suitable for casual photography.
- Battery life is supported by a 2250 mAh capacity, though it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The device runs on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), providing a straightforward user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of HDR in the display and optical image stabilization in the camera limits its multimedia capabilities.
- Overall, the Lenovo A859 is a basic smartphone that covers essential features without advanced specifications.
