Hi
got this phone from flipkart.com 2 days back. I was really sceptical about getting this phone because not a lot of people are using this. But finally got it and I must admit I did take a good decision. This is going to be a mini review. So if you are in doubt like me....read on.
After taking the phone out of the box, the first thing that came in my mind was like Man this is huge. It is actually bigger than it seems in the photos. So if you have small hands and are uncomfortable with bigger phones...look elsewhere. Its really really slim but takes up a whole pocket in my regular london fit pepejeans( just for example) and still some portion sticks outside. The build quality is fantastic. There is a screen guard attached but a big intel inside is printed on that. So you have to take that out. The display is sharp and vivid and viewing angles are great. It gives the loved printed look. Its pretty bright too. Blacks are deep in low brightness. The front is all black and cover in one piece of gorilla glass2. Rest of the phone is grey silver. Volume rocker and power lock keys are the only keys. There are no shutter key which I really missed. Both keys are metallic and have a texture on them. So they are not slippery and are comfortable to use. There are two microphones. The speaker is pretty loud and crisp. It has Wolfson DAC, same as galaxy S4. So expect the audio quality to be excellent. The music player has equaliser but its only 5 band. The interface is sometimes a little jittery. I guess the lenovo launcher is not optimised. The built in video player is bad. Does not play all formats. But which it manages to play it plays pretty smooth.
I was in doubt about camera quality after reading online comments. But those who says it has a bad camera does not actually have the device I guess. Because the camera is really really good. It takes nice detailes. There are some artifacts. I cant find any purple fringing. The lens is f1.8 and sensor is 1/2.3 inch. Impressive. If you focus it at close distance the background gets blurres. Sweet. The flash in auto mode is tuned exactly as I wanted. It slows the shuuter speed in low light and low ISO insted firing the flash. So you have to hold the phone steady to get a good picture. The sensor is BSI. So its actually an acceptable performer in low light. I am a DSLR user but I must say this phone's camera impressed me.
Same goes for the battery life. The internet is full of controversial openions. When I got the phone it was showing 54%. Its over 48 hours and I still left 5%. The data is off and wifi off. Never switched off the phone, even at night. Had a few calls and some photos shooting and browsing, Exploring the os etc. So it seems the battery is not bad. These dayd if you can go through 24 hours in one charge, consider it to be a good battery life.
The phone get lightly warm even in light usage. Dont like it.
I have a lot to share but my finger are hurting. If you have any questions....just ask me

Link to that website?
I have international rom K900_ROW_1_S2_009_0047_130603 on my device. Maybe you have another rom on yours and that one drains more battery?

I do not use mobile data and wifi is used only to check mails and little browsing. So not much usage on wifi no games, no mobile data and it just manages 24 hours and that too on best conservation mode of battery.
If you check on lenovo india website it has put few reviews by independent newspapers website etc.
Compare that with your actual battery life?

Sudhir , 07 Sep 2013Hey!
I bought this phone on 27th Aug. through amazon.com... more1) Voice quality is fine with mine. Had few problems at first but turned out to be just bad connection at the place i worked then.
2) Getting through the day easily so thats ok. Just make sure that you do not have Wifi and Mobile data on at same time. Both seem to be active then wich drains battery quite fast.
3) Never paid attention to how fast it charges because i just plug it in at night.
4) have not had the auto dialing issue.

Hey!
I bought this phone on 27th Aug. through amazon.com overall good in many areas. Camera excellent, touch very good, display unbeatable. Games i don't play so no comment. I am facing few issues would like feedback by other users if they also faced something similar?
1) Voice quality at other end, I have recd. complaints that voice is not clear or they could not make out who is on this side of phone.
2) Battery life is also not satisfactory.
3) Long time to charge from 10% battery to full charge about 3.5-4 hours at times.
4) At times it auto dials in pocket despite phone being in locked mode.
Any user comments would be highly appreciated, I have already escalated matter to the highest level at Lenovo.

Why to purchse beast if good looking cats are doing the same job ?
Just bought ellife e3 yesterday.phone is really awesome light weight ,handy ,screen is better than note 2. we all guys keep on searching on net and comparing specifications all time but that does not work practically. Guys just go and feel this mobile yourself then you will come to know about it .It just loving its Retina display.
Samsung guys increasing the size of their phone and not paying attention to its look and weight which also matters equally.This phone just weight 110 gm with mind blowing slim looks.

don, 01 Sep 2013i wish to purchase this within 4 days please suggest samsun... moreHi don
Lenovo k900 is way better than grand. Grand doenst stand up when it comes to jis lenovo in many circumstances .... such as the camera of grand is 8mp but it is hardly clear enough to be proven as a 8mp camera and the resolution is very low wher as in lenovo the camre is stunning and the resolution is awesome , the grand always hang even in running a 10 mb game wheras lenovo is off the chrts in gaming its provides u a better gaming experience ...... see if you are willing to spen 22k in grand then I will suggest u to buy lenovo k900 buy adding a 5k more its worth the money.....
