There is theme support but none of the themes are any better. The UI has improved considerably over its KitKat counterpart on the A6000 and A6000 Plus but it’s still a bit of an eye sore, especially the icons, which look terrible. On the software side, the A7000 runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop with Lenovo’s Vibe UI on top. The phone also supports 4G LTE support, along with Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. Thankfully, there is a microSD card slot. The lack of sufficient internal memory is a bit of a concern. There’s also 2GB of RAM and 8GB internal memory, of which around 5GB is available to the user. The A7000 runs on a 64-bit MediaTek MT6752 SoC with octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU clocked at 1.7GHz and Mali-T760 GPU. Overall, a very impressive display at this price point. The A7000 display thankfully does not have the terrible over-sharpening effect applied on the A6000 Plus. Sunlight visibility and viewing angles are also adequate. The display is surprisingly good, with good enough sharpness and pleasant colors. The Lenovo A7000 has a 5.5-inch 1280×720 resolution display. Build quality is good despite the all plastic construction although the design is quite dull, especially in black. The phone is a bit large, which might be a problem for some, but not something you can’t get used to. Underneath the removable back cover is the removable battery, two micro SIM card slots and microSD card slot. On the back is the 8 megapixel camera lens with dual LED flash and the loudspeaker, which does get quieter when you place the phone on its back. On the top is the headphone jack and an unusually located microUSB port. On the right are the volume and power keys that are perfectly placed and easy to use. Below the display are the three capacitive buttons for back, home and multitasking. On the front is a 5.5-inch display under a nondescript glass. The Lenovo A7000 looks pretty much identical to the A6000 and A6000 Plus, except it’s bigger. It’s also the world’s first phone to have Dolby Atmos-certified audio. But while we will be taking a look at the latter in a future post, it’s time to take a closer look at the A7000.ĭespite its budget positioning, the A7000 does come with a good set of features, including a 5.5-inch HD display, 64-bit octa-core processor on a MediaTek chipset, 2GB RAM, 8 megapixel camera, LTE, dual SIM support and a 2900mAh battery. The Lenovo A7000 is one of company’s budget smartphones, slotted between the A6000 Plus and the new K3 Note.
