Comparisons Featuring Lenovo A916
Short Review
- The Lenovo A916 features a sleek design with dimensions of 149.5 x 76.6 x 8.7 mm and a weight of 173 grams, available in white and black.
- It sports a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 267 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6592 chipset, an octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking.
- The Mali-450MP4 GPU supports casual gaming and media playback, though it may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a 13 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video, while the front-facing camera is a basic 2 MP.
- Battery capacity stands at 2500 mAh, which may require frequent charging due to moderate usage.
- The device runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), offering a straightforward user experience without the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G support and NFC.
- The absence of wireless charging and stereo speakers is notable, as is the presence of a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Lenovo A916 is a functional device with essential features for everyday use.
