amazon Lenovo A516 reviews
Design
Lenovo A516 is characterized by low-price line with material designed primarily plastic and overall look simple, familiar eyes.
Machine 9.9 mm thickness similar phone models we’ve rated as HTC Desire 500. However thanks to a combination of colors and curves in the back, if you look from the outside in, the HTC Desire 500 slim and feels much softer than Lenovo A516.
Run around the edges of the A516 is a small steel frame designed shiny stylized bracket helps both machines more luxurious look. In the dark gray version, the borders are almost sinking into the overall color of the machine should look not very prominent, but in white or red versions, the more prominent contours contributed to subtract the simple machines.
Compared with rival Huawei Ascend G510, corners and rounded edges softer feeling hug hold the camera in your hands, not celery. The front of the two machines have touch-button layout with front camera. On the Lenovo A516, the touch pad in turn is “Back”, “Home” and “Menu” are arranged from right to left.
Screen
Lenovo A516 with 4.5-inch screen size resolution of 854 x 480 pixels with a pixel density of 217 PPI. This is a fairly large screen size than the other same price range. Overall, the screen of the machine with enough sharpness for daily needs such as web surfing and gaming.
However, it is not as good as the phone screen more expensive, such as the HTC Desire 500 or Nokia Lumia 625. When compared to the Lenovo A850 larger screen, the visual quality of the A516 is also less than a little sharp.
Screen brightness Lenovo A516 also inadequate, when used indoor often placed at the highest level. With many other machines, I simply set the brightness of about 70% has seen enough. Because the screen brightness is not high therefore look outdoor visibility also limited.
Photographing and filming
Lenovo A516 camera of 5MP resolution. When shooting in good lighting conditions or the weather is pretty good image quality, sufficient to meet the needs shared via social networks. In low-light environment, the lens of the activity should effectively and slightly underexposed image blur typically including exposure compensation adjustments will not be much improved. In addition, the machine has no LED flash to aid when shooting night light.
5MP camera also supports 4x digital zoom, but it’s best not to use this feature when using the zoom shots often rupture and loss of detail much. Additionally, the camera does not support the ability to focus by touching the screen, a feature available on most current smartphones.
Software, applications can assign camera geo tagging, choose automatic shooting mode, night, panorama, taken as smileys, adjust white balance, color effects … Additionally, you can also capture continuous 40 styles or 90 shots, but no ability to select the best photos. But if you want self-timer shooting, users can put 2 or 10 seconds.
On film, the main camera with HD recording capabilities for quality is quite good. Stabilization of the machine when the machine is switched on will help minimize shake during recording.
