Comparison: Lenovo A6000 Plus vs A7000 Plus

December 5, 2015December 5, 2015 Daniel Morial Leave a comment

Lenovo has recently launched the A6000 Plus on our shores with a sub-7k price tag. It’s closest sibling, the A7000 Plus, which is a localized version of the K3 Note, is just a thousand buck more expensive. What are the cuts done to get a cheaper SRP? Check out the tablet below:

Php 6,999	Php 7,999

Obviously, the A6000 Plus has a smaller display at 5″ vs 5.5″ and the resolution received a downgrade to 720p. It also carries a different, less powerful chipset but retains 2GB of RAM. Internal storage is also the same at 16GB. Another cut is found with the rear camera since it now has an 8-megapixel sensor and a single LED flash with a 2-megapixel selfie camera.

Aside from the hardware, Lenovo also demoted the Android software to Android 4.4.4 KitKat out of the box but the Lollipop update is readily available (although it’s a hefty download). The sound enhancement is also now just Dolby Digital Plus rather than Dolby Atmos. Yet, the A6000 Plus has twin speakers at the back.

To offer the A6000 Plus for Php 6,999 with the A7000 Plus lying around for just Php 7,999, we’d say the cuts are not worth it. Still, we’re currently working on the review of the A6000 Plus, so stay tuned if the device can hold up on its own.

Lenovo A6000 Plus First Impressions

December 4, 2015December 4, 2015 Daniel Morial Leave a comment

Fresh from its local launch, let’s take the Lenovo A6000 Plus for a quick spin. What does the sub-7k budget smartphone has to offer? Read on to find out.

lenovo-a6000-plus-firstimpressions-1

For starters, the A6000 Plus has a 5-inch IPS LCD display. It’s a standard HD resolution at 720×1280 pixels that gives a reasonably sharp 294ppi. We’ve noticed that outdoor visibility seems to be okay as long you’re under a shade. Aside from the display, the front panel has the earpiece, front-facing camera, sensors, and three capacitive buttons.

The volume rocker and power/lock button are located at the right side of the device while the left side is virtually clean. The top houses the 3.5mm jack and the micro-USB port leaving nothing at the bottom, except for a mic pinhole.

Heading to the back will show the rear camera with the LED flash and another mic pinhole for noise-cancelling. There’s a distinct Lenovo branding at the middle while the speaker grille and Dolby logo is situated below. Interestingly, there are two grilles but we’re not yet sure if it’s a stereo setup. We’ll get into that with our review.

The back cover is removable to give access to the 2300mAh battery, two micro-SIM card slots, and the microSD card slot for memory expansion. Overall, the whole build of the Lenovo smartphone is solid, although it’s a bit light on hand due to the plastic material used. The back panel has a matte finish and is good in resisting nasty smudges.

The rear camera has a megapixel count of 8, a usual number for budget smartphones. While it is early to say about the quality, it seems pretty decent given that the environment is well-lit. You may check out two samples below.

The device boots Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Vibe UI 2.0 out of the box with a Lollipop update already waiting. Our review unit is already downloading the update so rest assured we will have the latest software available.

If you’re looking for a new external storage for your digital media, we found this sweet deal on Lazada that might like.

trancend-1tb

The Transcend StoreJet 25H3 is a rugged external HDD that has military-grade shock resistance to withstand strenuous usage. It’s also USB 3.0 compliant for speedy transfers and backwards compatible with 2.0 for older ports. Being a shockproof device, it’s relatively thick at 19mm but the added measurement should be a good trade-off for better protection.

The external hard drive is currently on sale through Lazada by INFOWORX for just Php 2,689 (as of writing) and it comes with free shipping, so you don’t have to worry about extra charges when it gets delivered to doorstep.
