Phone Lenovo S850c: reviews, details

Have you heard that little-known companies (mainly from China) are engaged in the production of various fakes? They often copy successful phone models from the most famous manufacturers, "stuff" them with good (and sometimes medium) equipment and sell at a low price.

Today we will speak about this phone. This is Lenovo S850C. Customer feedback , as well as information on the official website of the company-developer of the model, indicate that such a model does not exist in nature.

Therefore, in order to understand what kind of phone it is and whether to buy it, we write this article.

What is this model?

So, the Lenovo S850C really does not exist. Everyone can make sure by going to the section "smartphones" on the official Lenovo website. There is a model S850 - one of the models of the "middle class", which has excellent characteristics and quite attractive design. Actually, because of this unscrupulous manufacturers and copy the phone, releasing its "clone" with the index "C". Although in practice, the smartphone Lenovo S850C does not exist.

However, purely from interest, we will review this model and try to find out what it is so good. After all, if you analyze the demand for a device on one of the Chinese auctions, people are very willing to take it there. Plus, on this same resource there is information about the mobile device, its characteristics, reviews. This is a great opportunity for us to find out what kind of model it is.

Housing and assembly

Let's start with how the phone is assembled. If you look at what customers say about the Lenovo S850C in this regard, then there is nothing bad there. The body of the device in the photos looks pretty good. In real life, however, it turns out that this is an ordinary plastic, clearly inferior to the material from which the original was made. Although generally notice this can only be in direct contact with the model. From a distance the phone resembles Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Thanks to this, the design of the device can be called attractive. Surely this was what the manufacturers of Lenovo S850C wanted.

Device Design

Since we are talking about the appearance of the phone, we will describe it briefly in this part of the article. So, nothing special, of course, the Chinese violators of copyright have not been offered. The smartphone really looks like one of the latest Galaxy - the phone is very thin (it has a thickness of only 8 millimeters) and large. In this case, above and below the 5-inch screen there are indentations of the case (which are clearly smaller in Alpha). Because of this, of course, the model looks less impressive.

Nevertheless, the "home" button Lenovo S850C (reviews confirm this) and looks, and it works perfectly. The sensor sensor in it, of course, is not present, but there are no any sags or irregularities in motion.

CPU

About what kind of stuffing a smartphone-clone, there is a separate story. Officially on the page where the "original" Lenovo S850C is sold, such technical features are indicated: MTK 6592 processor on 8 cores with a clock frequency of 2.5 Ghz. This is a very good indicator, with it the device is able to function in normal mode without delays and slowdowns. It would seem that you can safely buy such an apparatus and not worry that it will "bug".

But, in fact, the situation is slightly worse. If you read about the counterfeit Lenovo S850C customer reviews , it seems that the processor the manufacturer is putting the wrong one. Users noted that after carrying out some technical tests on their device (which provide, for example, applications like AnTuTu), they realized: the phone has a weaker processor with a clock speed of 1.2 GHz, consisting of 4 cores. Despite the fact that quad core filling, it would seem, can provide an excellent work of the phone, users still complain about some problems with the interaction.

Smartphone memory

With the phone's memory, true, if you read about the Lenovo S850C reviews, everything is fine. As promised, the manufacturer made available 16 GB of memory, providing, in addition, one more slot for an additional microSD card. Thus, the owner of the device has the ability to expand the memory capacity of the phone if necessary.

This is useful, because on such a smartphone you can conveniently view your favorite movies and series, while on the road, for example.

Display

The screen, which equip the imitator Lenovo phone S850C, no complaints. In principle, the device is equipped with a typical IPS HD display typical of such budgetary models of Chinese origin, having a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels.

Yes, no technology that allows you to transfer a clearer picture (like, for example, no glare or the same image from different angles) was not used on the smartphone. The image here is worse than on the flagship Samsung and Apple models, which have more modest technical characteristics. Apparently, the whole point in optimizing the screens for the possibility of hardware, which has always "suffered" in budget phones from little-known or noname manufacturers.

Camera device

The phone's camera has the same problem. Having opened the smartphone Lenovo S850C specifications, you can see that the main camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels, and the front - 5 megapixel. It would seem that these are high indicators, which should mean high quality of shooting. But it was not there!

An important parameter is also the matrix, which can not be different on the telephones-copies. Therefore, if you compare the quality of photos taken by a Nokia Lumia with a 5-megapixel camera and a 13-megapixel camera from a non-Lenovo (S850c phone), the testimonials will clearly indicate that Nokia is shooting better.

The reason is again in the development of some integration solutions and technologies that are not available to "underground" companies that copy other people's devices.

Battery

So, what is still important for modern smartphones is the time of work. Agree, very unpleasant is the moment when your phone is discharged at the most crucial moment. And it can be anything - the need to call, go to an online map, take a picture or watch the show. In different life situations, a sitting battery can seriously spoil our mood. Therefore, it is so important to choose a device that will serve for a long time, and need to be charged as rarely as possible.

Speaking specifically about the model that became the object of our review, the "original" Lenovo S850C (which is testified about as an average endurance phone) has a battery with a capacity of 2800 mAh. True or not, it is difficult to say, most buyers do not measure the actual battery parameter of the purchased device (especially since this is a Chinese counterfeit).

Nevertheless, on the site where the model is sold, the service life on a single charge is indicated for 2-3 days; While the real owners of the Lenovo S850C (they probably did not see the characteristics) note that the phone works a day if it is actively used.

Cost

Having characterized the device, it would be time to mention its cost. So, as already noted earlier, the phone (in view of its illegal origin) refers to budget models produced by noname-companies. Plus, we add to this the inconsistency with the declared characteristics, which the customers complained about. Thus, we get a fully justified price of 120-150 dollars.

Why is the price specified in this framework? Yes, because the sale of devices is carried out through different vendors at Chinese auctions. For this reason, one of them can find a telephone for 119, and the other - for 149 dollars. And it's not a fact that in a couple of days the price will not change in the opposite direction.

Where can I buy?

Accordingly, we answer the question about where you can buy a fake smartphone S850C - on Chinese online stores. Of course, they are sold by us - we can take the model from any hand on any bulletin board or some auction. Even the same phones can be sold somewhere in the transition, though, there the price will be overestimated once and a half.

As for the official mobile networks, you will not find such a phone there. Like the device itself, the Lenovo S850C firmware is not certified for both sales in Russia and for distribution in the world. Chinese stores are an exception - here you can buy and not such products. The main thing is that here this phone is obviously cheaper.

In order not to search for such services, we can offer you the most famous and convenient of them - the Aliexpress website. Here, the specified model is present precisely - to find it does not make any problems. The store offers customers from all over the world free delivery - this can already become the "For" purchase argument here.

Guarantees

Of course, the essential disadvantage of acquiring the phone to which this article is devoted is the guarantees provided by traders on the same "Ali".

Since even in the characteristics of the model some other data are indicated, than in real life, it's not worth to be surprised that you will be deceived. There are real testimonials that customers were not sent working or defective goods, return money for which it was very difficult. The only way out is not to get into this situation - to know the rules of working with Aliexpress.

First of all, do not confirm the transaction before you receive the goods. Otherwise, it will not work. Second - in case of receiving a defective product, be sure to open a dispute with the seller (Open Dispute). In it, briefly describe the essence of your problem (you can use Google Translate).

The seller in any case, unsubscribe, but as some reviews indicate, sometimes they write some incoherent nonsense to force the user to end the dispute. The trick is that if you do not answer within a certain period (usually 3-5 days), the complaint disappears and the dispute closes. Your task is to continue to write, complain and in no case not to abandon the dispute yourself. In the end, you will get money back or agree to forward the goods. Better, of course, when creating a complaint, choose the option of a refund (Full Moneyback).

User Reviews

You ask: "But what about reviews about the device itself? Does the phone work normally in everyday use? ". Well, we answer: the device performs the task perfectly in the event that you get a conscientious seller. To choose such, we recommend to set the filter by the number of orders and reviews "From the greatest to the least." So you will find products that are bought by hundreds, if not thousands of people. The chances that they were sold poor-quality goods, but they did not complain, are minimal. At the same time, the likelihood that you will get married is also low.

And as a whole, the phone costs its money. It is inexpensive, multifunctional (on it, by the way, goes the Android 4.4.2 system) and pretty pretty externally. With him you will be comfortable to have fun, watching movies, reading books, sometimes killing time with games. Actually, what else is needed from a similar smartphone?
