Lenovo Vibe A pushes the limits of how low-end a smartphone can be in 2016

14 July, 2016
Its spec sheet reads like one from quite a few years ago, but how well it sells might depend on pricing in the end.

    maybe its better buying used phone with higher ram. 512mb of ram is too low, need minimum 2gb of ram for casual user but smart user can live with 1gb of ram

      what makes it even more disturbing. is that for around 100 bucks now days you could get a note 2. with quad core 1.6 and 2gb ram with much nicer specs all around.

        Akalp, 15 Jul 2016Actually Moto series camera has improved under Lenovo. Last... morelol, because those sensors are made by sony and they are getting better at it each year that's not Lenovo's credit, if you didn't know then, but the image processing has got worse clearly.

            AnonD-549856, 15 Jul 2016If there are rich people like you, then are are also too ma... moreTrue, they need to buy a low end phone.
            But to me it just seems like a waste of money!
            I'm poor. I'm still using a 6 years old I9000.
            If I were to buy a new phone and would want to buy something I wouldn't buy this low end phone, because it would just give me headaches after few app installs.
            The RAM is just too low!
            Even if it would really be 30€ like someone suggested, still "money out the window".

              Would be interesting to see if this phone becomes the darling of the Rooting & ROM'ing community.

                Big mistake, big mistake. It would be way worse than a Samsung low-end.

                    Seriously.. 3,000 INR would be enough for this.
