Advantages and disadvantages of a smartphone

The S5 Pro model has become a continuation of the next series of models from the manufacturer. But the changes in it are so dramatic that it is very wrong to compare with other phones in the line. There are much more differences than the characteristics themselves. The battery size has been increased, the processor has been improved, the performance of the cameras is much better compared to the rest, the amount of RAM has increased. It would seem that against the background of all the improvements there can be no hint of shortcomings, but no matter how it is. They are there, but not as noticeable. Now we will analyze all the characteristics separately and highlight the disadvantages with the advantages.

1. CPU. The company has used an updated processor of the latest generation Snapdragon 636, which significantly outperforms previous models. Also, you can not ignore the graphics Adreno 506, designed specifically for the S5 Pro model. Due to the advanced processor, applications run quickly and smoothly, without lags and crashes.
2. Memory. 6 GB of RAM will allow you to save much more information on your phone than was possible before. There is a choice of 64 GB or 128 GB of internal memory. You won't have to pay more than a few thousand rubles for additional memory, moreover, the difference in price is small.
3. Battery. The battery has a capacity of 3500 mAh. Fast charging function supported. In offline mode, it can work just like the rest of the flagship phones. He is no better, and no worse in this regard. The kit includes a cord for charging, you do not need to buy an adapter.
4. Camera. Lenovo's main focus is on the camera. There are two of them on the front side and the front cover. Behind - double, and in front is located on the sides of the speaker. The main one is 12 megapixels, the aperture of the lens is F / 1.8. It is impossible to find fault with the color rendition during the day. A lens is screwed to the second module, which is able to zoom in twice without any loss in photo quality.
5. external components. The smartphone meets all the requirements of the modern buyer regarding the appearance. The screen occupies almost the entire front side, leaving only 17% of the space free. And even then it is occupied by a speaker at the top of the screen and two cameras on the sides. There are no borders on the display. The back panel is made of metal, which, upon impact, helps to suffer the least loss. Scratching your phone is not easy.
6. Games. The phone is great for high-definition games. You can set the graphics settings as high as possible, but the image will not slow down and in principle there will be no other problems.
7. Front camera. There are also two of them. They are located on the sides of the main speaker. Pixels from 4 can be combined into 1.In the evening, oddly enough, the front camera shoots an order of magnitude better than the main one. It improves colors and improves image clarity. In fact, the resolution is reduced to 5MP, but the quality does not get much worse. On the contrary, work is being optimized and the phone squeezes out of itself to the maximum.
8. Screen. Compared to previous models, the screen has increased by 1.2 inches. Picture quality is standard. Not the best so far, but not the worst either. The buyer who chooses this phone will not be dissatisfied with the resolution.
9. Identification. Face recognition infrared sensor is a new feature of Lenovo smartphones. It works not only during daylight hours, but also in complete darkness. There is a choice. If you do not want to use the face recognition sensor, then use the usual one, in which you need to put your finger on a certain highlighted part of the back panel.

1. Charger. It takes a lot of electricity to charge your phone quickly. The voltage is 18 watts.
2. Camera. In the dark, the camera does not shoot in the best quality. Pictures are sometimes blurry, the focus is not on the right subject. There is a lot of noise in the pictures. Small details can hardly be disassembled.
3. Battery. Despite the size of the battery, in active mode, that is, constant use, the phone is unlikely to work more than 7 hours. This is provided that the optimization of the Android system is constantly performed.
4. Screen. At the top of the screen, there is a small pocket in which the speaker and two front cameras are located. They do not really fit into the overall concept of the phone. Yes. A large percentage of flagships are placed on the front side of the smartphone with a camera and speaker in the same way.But in this model, they do not look quite appropriate. It gives the impression of the presence of unnecessary details that distract attention.
5. No protection against dust and water. This feature is in high demand in today's technology market. Due to its absence, the speaker may become clogged and stop working, and if water gets into the case, the smartphone will stop working altogether.

Summing up

The phone is a representative of the middle class. You should not expect big and unexpected turns from this model. Some stand-out parameters, compared to flagships, will not be able to overshadow the quality of production and the variety of functions of well-known brands.

At the same time, in its lineup, the phone stands out. It has a sufficient number of advantages to soon line up with some smartphones and show the world level.

If you like indicators. If you need a phone for work for a short time, for playing games and listening to music, then you should take a closer look at it. Otherwise, this is an average smartphone. In addition, according to surveys of potential buyers, the quality of photographs at night is not very satisfied. But the presence of 4 cameras cannot but please a modern person. This is something new in the world of technology.

There is no slot for an additional memory card. Therefore, if it is so necessary, you will have to use one of the SIM card slots. But this will be useless, because the amount of built-in and internal memory makes sure that you do not need to buy additional memory.

Exit in Russia

At the moment, the release date is unknown and the price that will be asked for it in the regions, too. The smartphone was announced on October 23. The start of sales in the country of origin has already begun and good performance is visible.In Russia, in the communication salons about the official partners of the company, there is a pre-order function that can be used at the moment.

But there is too little information about the phone to speak fully. Maybe he is better than we are told and better than he has been recommended. After all, Lenovo's technology is valued all over the world and shows quite good sales performance. It is worth waiting a bit and the smartphone will enter the domestic market. There was an assumption that this would happen in early to mid-November.
