Lenovo S856 Review

Score: 57.9 / 100

Lenovo S856 is a quite good phone, packed with a large 5.5-inches capacitive display, a 1200 MHz Quad-Core processing unit, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 1.6 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

This phone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon system chip, which holds a powerful Quad-Core processing unit running at 1200 megahertz with 1 GB of RAM. The Lenovo S856 has a quite large 8 GB internal storage memory and an external memory slot, allowing the user to store a couple hundred apps without any trouble.

The Lenovo S856 is available only in color gray. This device is a very compact phone, considering it features a 5.5 inches display and it's just 5.94" long. Being just 0.35 inches thick,this cellphone is incredibly slim and good-looking. Regarding its materials, the Lenovo S856 is majorly created with Polycarbonate. This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone like this.

The Lenovo S856 has two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 1.6 MP front camera. In addition, the camera has some good characteristics: auto-focus, flash and geo tagging.

This phone is equipped with a good level 1280 x 720 (HD) 5.5" screen, making everything look very good. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

The Lenovo S856 provides wi-fi capability (and it can provide it to other devices acting as a wireless modem or router), 4G (LTE) high performance data connection and also HSPA+ data connection, that is a lower speed 4G network and fast 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone comes with two SIM cards so it's able to work with two different phone lines or carriers in the same phone.

This phone uses an awesome 2500 mAh Li-Polymer replaceable battery, enough to provide this phone with an impressive battery duration. Lenovo says this device has a stand by time of 456 hs and a talk time of 24 hs.

This phone also features a couple interesting characteristics such as Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

Lenovo sells the Lenovo S856 for $ 200, which is a really high price for this type of phone. It doesn't matter whether you are looking for a social phone or need a cellphone to play tons of games, this device is probably a good choice for you.
