It has been 5 years since Lenovo smartphones began to explore the Russian market. The first 2 models - Ideaphone P700i and Ideaphone S880 went on sale in 2013. The strategy was simple - big screens for little money. She fully justified herself. But the competitors did not sleep. In parallel, new markets were stormed by other Chinese manufacturers - Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Gionee. If at the beginning of the journey Lenovo managed to quickly become a leader in terms of sales, then later other Chinese manufacturers made serious competition.
The tech giant developed two brands: ZUK, Lenovo. Then he bought the Motorola brand from Google, and after 2 years announced that he was abandoning this name and would develop the Lenovo moto premium brand. In 2017, the strategy changed. The management decided not to cut off the shoulder, leaving all their brands and sub-brands. The company carries out all these movements with one goal - to bypass the market leaders, its main competitors - Samsung and Apple, and more recently, Chinese colleagues.
It makes no sense to compare the Lenovo and Apple smartphone lines. They have similar manners of brand promotion. But as for Samsung, they are roughly in the same category with Lenovo.However, Lenovo phones win in terms of price-quality ratio and, of course, in terms of battery capacity. In terms of performance, some Samsung models are better, others are not. That's where Lenovo is inferior, it's in the quality of the displays. Samsung is the clear leader here.
As for Asian-Chinese smartphones, the popular Asus may have problems with the firmware, Lenovo has it easier. But Huawei releases smartphones similar to Lenovo, like twins. The characteristics of some lines are identical. But as soon as you pick them up, you understand that Huawei has better image quality, although the resolution and type of matrix are the same. Therefore, when compiling the rating of the best Lenovo smartphones, we focused not only on the technical characteristics and assurances of the manufacturer, but also on reviews, and also on the number of sales. After all, “voting with a wallet” is the most objective.
Top 5 Best Lenovo Smartphones
5 Lenovo S5 Pro 6/64GB
Country: China
Average price: 14264 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
Smartphone from Lenovo with a large screen with a diagonal of 6.2 inches. There is a dual camera of 12 + 20 megapixels, a 2x optical zoom and the ability to shoot video in 4K resolution. The performance is high, it is limited by the power of the Snapdragon 636 processor. There is already 6 GB of RAM. The battery life is 3.5 Ah. Built-in memory 64 GB.
The metal body and dual front camera set this phone apart from other Lenovo creations. The reviews pay attention to the stability of the software shell and the good capabilities of the cameras. The screen pleases with high resolution and high-quality picture with large viewing angles and true color reproduction.The ZUI proprietary software is attributed to the disadvantages - it is unusual, and some management decisions seem illogical.
4 Lenovo K5 Pro 4/64GB
Country: China
Average price: 11998 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
One of the best Lenovo smartphones, which enjoys well-deserved popularity among an audience loyal to the brand. There is a large battery with a capacity of 4.05 Ah and 4 GB of RAM, which is enough not only for routine tasks, but also for gaming and working with resource-intensive programs. A dual camera of 16 and 5 megapixels will delight lovers of mobile photography, but don’t count on the flagship skills of the module - the reviews say that the white balance suffers, and when there is insufficient lighting, the photos come out frankly weak.
It's good that the imperfections of software processing can really be corrected in the built-in graphics editor. There is also a Type-C connector, support for fast charging, a very productive Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor and a 16 + 5 MP dual front camera. This is the best option for those who do not like the “bangs” and “drops” at the top of the screen and adhere to a conservative opinion about techno design.
3 Lenovo S5 4/64GB
Country: China
Average price: 7950 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
A smartphone from the Lenovo factory that has the right to show off its photographic abilities. He has at his disposal two modules of the main camera with 13 megapixels each. The aperture is F / 2.2, there is autofocus and a macro mode: bokeh and background blur in portrait shooting are provided. The video is shot in 4K. The front camera has a module with a resolution of 16 megapixels.
The 625th "Snapdragon" with 4 GB of RAM controls everything. All this means decent performance.It also captivates with 64 GB of internal memory, support for memory cards, a USB Type-C connector and a fingerprint scanner. Judging by the reviews and specifications, this is one of the best inexpensive smartphones with a good camera and high capabilities.
2 Lenovo K5 Play 3/32GB
Country: China
Average price: 7117 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Bright smartphone with a non-trivial design. Taking care of users, Lenovo put a silicone bumper in the box with the glass phone. This is an inexpensive device with a modest but trouble-free Snapdragon 430 processor. The screen is good - 5.7 inches, HD + resolution and an aspect ratio of 18:9. The main camera is double - everything is in fashion. It is not capable of masterpieces, but it will be able to satisfy an undemanding user in full - 13 + 2 megapixels, autofocus, macro photography and F / 2.2 aperture.
There are no detailed reviews for the new product on the network yet, so the degree of reliability of the smartphone can only be assumed. But the fact that Lenovo is offering Android 8 is a good sign. The disadvantages of the model are the use of an already obsolete micro USB connector and a glass case, which is as beautiful as it is impractical.
1 Lenovo Phab 2 Pro
Country: China
Average price: 16704 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
Heavy smartphone from Lenovo with a large screen and a truly royal resolution. There are as many as 459 pixels per inch, so the image on the screen is clear and as detailed as possible. The smartphone is weighty – its mass exceeds a quarter of a kilogram, and due to the aspect ratio of 16 to 9 with a huge diagonal, this tablet-phone hybrid cannot be called compact.
The reviews praise the amount of RAM - 4 GB is enough not only for everyday purposes, but also for specific tasks.The 4050 mAh battery keeps quietly for two days. The 16 MP dual camera takes good pictures, although it is very desirable to fix your hands when shooting to avoid the blurring effect. The main drawback is Android 6 out of the box and a lot of weight. Despite these disadvantages, Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is one of the best creations of Lenovo.
