Lenovo A6000 has started a new trend – 4G enabled entry level phones. While the 4G feature is great as a future-proofing feature, I was quite surprised by the quick launch of the Lenovo A7000 earlier this month. As a stand-alone entry level phone, the A6000 ticks the right boxes. The 5-inch HD display will be liked by many over the 4.5-inch qHD display on the Moto E, for instance. It makes for a good first smartphone purchase.
Of course at the low price, you do get some drawbacks such as no Gorilla Glass protection, poor camera, flimsy rear cover and so on. Lenovo A6000 has some competition in this price bracket as the second gen Moto E and the Xiaomi Redmi 2 are both priced at Rs 6, 999 as well. We are testing the Moto E and the Redmi 2 at the moment and would reserve the final verdict till those reviews are done.
If you leave apart the 4G feature, the A6000 is like any other entry level phone. I liked the fact that Lenovo isn’t charging a premium just for the 4G feature.
