Wishing to lower the cost of devices, the manufacturersometimes truncates a lot of important characteristics. Although the company Lenovo is not famous for such actions, but they also have similar experience in the model 369. Wishing to correct the oversight, the company reworked the smartphone and released an analog with a prefix i at the end. What has come of this?
Design
The appearance of the Lenovo 369i is rather inconspicuous. Special devices can not boast of a device, but also say that the design is bad, it is difficult. Quite expected appearance of an inexpensive device.
Somewhat improves the impression of quality plastic. The material allows the body to look much more expensive. Also, the presence of a textured panel at the back helps avoid fingerprints.
Raisin in the placement of external parts is notobserved. Front of the display, touch buttons, speaker, sensors, microphone, company logo, but the frontline is worth forgetting. Camera on the front side is missing.
The rear of the textured plastic placed a camera, a company sign and a speaker on it. Flash in the Lenovo 369i is not provided.
At the top of the device, the company tried to install everything at once: the USB and headphone jacks, as well as the power button. The volume control is located on the right side of the box.
Definitely, the decision to collect all the frequently used parts in one bottle is not the best. It's good that the headphones jack is located far from the power button.
Display
It should immediately be mentioned that the device was released in 2013, and you should not wait for a good screen from the Lenovo 369i. The characteristics are rather mediocre: only 4 inches with a resolution of 800 by 480.
The screen is rather small, and the image will have to beLook, but there is another problem - pixels. Obsolete TFT technology does not improve the impression. Even with a small angle, the image fades and distorts.
Filling
Like most smartphones of the company, LenovoThe 369i is equipped with an MTK processor. The device operates at a frequency of 1.3 GHz, which, in principle, is not bad. Comparatively with the predecessor, the RAM also increased. Now the gadget has as many as 512 instead of 256 MB.
The hardware is quite enough to perform simple tasks and work with most applications. Expect more from a cheap phone is not worth it.
Владельца ожидает неприятный сюрприз в виде 4 Гб native memory. But in fact, approximately 2 GB is available. The only way out is to increase the volume of the memory card. The device works well with a 32GB flash drive.
Camera
The device is equipped with a camera for only twomegapixel camera. Even for a budget smartphone in 2013, this is a terribly bad characteristic. Actually, there is no need to talk about quality. Most likely, the owner will not even resort to this function.
Connectivity
The device supports the most necessary networks, andeven 3G. A nice detail is working with two sim cards. While calling the second card will go into standby mode, since the radio module in the device is one.
The smartphone also supports Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth. Complain about a small number of ways to communicate is not passed.
System
The device functions under the guidance of Android 4.2. Given the filling, such a system is quite enough for the Lenovo 369i. The firmware also has updates, however, they will not make big changes.
Above the "Android" is the interface of the company.In addition to the shell in the Lenovo 369i, there are some useful applications. Some of the programs installed by the manufacturer can not be deleted without root rights.
Autonomy
The battery of the smartphone is not very specialcapacity, but the phone is not particularly demanding. In the mode of active use of the charge, enough hours for 5-6, and with minimal work the battery will last two days.
In addition to increase the duration of life simple actions will help. For example, by reducing the brightness of the display and killing unnecessary tasks, you can significantly extend the work.
Equipment
In the appendage to the device go headphones, adapter, instruction, USB cable. Unfortunately, the owner will need additional spending to purchase a flash drive and, perhaps, a better headset.
Price
The cost of the phone is quite democratic and fluctuates around 3-4 thousand rubles. Although some of the phone's capabilities are lame, the price more than smooths out the sharp edges.
Advantages
The main advantage of the device is the work with two sim cards. For a cheap device this is a very pleasant feature.
The cost also does not leave indifferent. For the minimum price the user will receive not only a good means of communication, but also capable of much smartphone.
disadvantages
Significantly more in the phone of the negative sides.The same camera is perplexing. More confusion would cause only her absence. Perhaps the manufacturer had to abandon the camera in favor of improving another parameter.
The minimum of native memory does not improve the impressions. Allocated to the user 2 GB is enough only to install the most necessary programs.
Reviews
The owners are not the bestimpressions of the Lenovo 369i. Reviews, despite the very affordable price, are full of a description of negative qualities. To understand the discontent of users is easy, but it's not worth waiting for the incredible from a budget device.
The result
The device turned out to be somewhat one-sided, more inside of the connection, but the main task performs perfectly. 369i can be considered one of the cheapest works "Lenovo". Without a doubt, the smartphone will find its target audience.
