Smartphones at least 100 €, there is now everywhere. Even at home. The choice is also quite large. Android. Windows Phone. Firefox OS. Big screen. 4G. There’s something for everyone … and in many of the manufacturers. In short, what was once a surefire selling point today is no longer a category in itself. Only solution to again emphasize the price point? Down much lower still. This is what Lenovo, which is now approaching the symbolic threshold of € 50 with its new A1900 Android.
Obviously, in this price range, it does not need to expect miracles even if it must be recognized that this little smartphone is not so bad equipped than that. Starting with the display. IPS panel 4 “and displaying a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels is also equipped with a Cortex-A7 quad-core chipset signed Speadtrum and 1.2 GHz. The graphics, however, is given to the older ARM Mali-400. The memory is also limited to 512 MB RAM and 4 GB for storage but a microSD slot will resolve in part the problem.
Lenovo A1900 also includes a modest 2 megapixel camera on the back, 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi and GPS, FM tuner and a 1500 mAh battery. Dual SIM, it measures 121 x 62 x 9.5 mm and weighs 117 grams. The launch is scheduled in the weeks to come with a price equivalent to 56 € according to Fudzilla. A beautiful proposal. Too bad it probably will be available in China.
